After paying and being confirmed 2 days before, we got up at 5am and travelled to the other side of the island to the meeting point for 06:30 am... No Guide arrived for our trip and after several messages even the app help couldn't get hold of the guide... 2 hours we waited in 90° heat to be told the trip is cancelled!!!! They then told me its 3 to 5 days to get a refund!!! I had spent 2500Baht in taxi fees to be told hard luck we can only refund the tour price... they then had the cheek to offer me a 5% discount, but only if I booked 2 more trips with them immediately!!!!!... they didn't care that I had a 14 year old who was extremely upset, the didn't care that our special day was ruined. I had never used this app before, but was advised it was extremely good... Well I beg to differ. There customer service is appalling. Please stay away from booking anything on this app, if it goes wrong, they just don't care.

Amazing tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly and great English.
Seeing the temples up close and understanding the religion more was an eye opening experience that left you wanting to know more and more.
Thank you so much Sansunsee.

What a great experience we had on this morning ceremony.Sunsanee has great knowledge about the history of Buddhism and Hinduism.
The ceremony itself with the monk was very fulfilling and grounding I’d highly recommend if you’ve never experienced before.
Sunsanee is truly a lovely person and it was nice to hear some stories of her childhood.

Sunsanee was amazing - This is the way you want to see the temples to gain a real authentic Thai experience.
From start to finish everything was well done - making the lotus flowers to lighting candles and incense for different reasons was explained to releasing the fish at the end
Wat Chalong is beautiful and seeing it early morning as a local does and experiencing their culture and understanding more is something that will stay with me forever it was beautiful.

Really great immersive experience. My partner and I’s connecting flight got cancelled, and our tour guide was kind and flexible, allowing us to move the date. We were the only ones on the tour. Greatly appreciated her knowledge, patience and flexibility for allowing us to experience Phuket in this way even though it maybe did not make the most sense for her. Would definitely recommend.

I would highly recommend booking this experience! Sunsansee was such a great guide, her english was excellent and she shared her knowledge on the temples and religion. She was able to answer any questions we had with detail. There were no other tourists at the temple at the time we were there and the experience made us feel more like locals than your typical tourist.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that has an interest in learning about other religions and wants to step outside of the typical tourist style activities.

Sunsanee was really sweet. She offered a relaxed, respectful and authentic observation of Thai/Buddhist/Hindu rituals and traditions.
From start to finish the whole family were engaged and my children 11 & 15 really enjoyed the morning experience.
