We took the off road tour, booked thru our hotel's travel counter.
The transfer was on time, the guide (Di Dho) and the driver (Au) were very kind and welcoming.
Driver was very experienced in rough roads, the guide was very professional and made many adjustments just for our pleasure (adding an additional stop, changing the lunch hour, etc)
We were 3 people and were the only group for that day yet surprisingly the company still deployed the tour just for us.
We were informed in advance that the whole tour or parts of it might be canceled if weather will won't allow, It did rain pretty badly that day but we managed to do almost the whole tour besides going down to the waterfall when reaching the mountain peak. Besides missing a small portion of the itinerary, the rainy day actually enhanced our experience: Riding thru the muddy road. The guides provided us with rain light jackets and the car had an open rain cover. Definitely would recommend not canceling by yourself if you hit a rainy day.
Would like to point out how professional and very caringI would recommend bringing a wind coat also in sunny days due to the fact the car is open and a big portion of the ride is pretty fast which made it feel quite chilly back there.Overall a very great trip with lovely guides, very recommended!
We chose to do the Temple Tours as part of our 'things to do'. We learnt a lot about buddishm and the 3 temples we saw. Our tour guide was bilingual so we were able to understand and learnt everything at no disadvantage.
We booked the James Bond Island tour with Khao Lak Land Discovery. We were picked up early enough in the morning so that there were very few people on the island by the time we arrived.After the island, we went to a floating village where we learned about the history of the village and had lunch. The lunch was amazing, nice fresh food.We then went to the Monkey Temple. Our guide, Sonny, was really friendly and told us all about the history and culture. His English is very good and he’s very helpful. We were constantly asking him questions, which he seemed to like as he said that not many people care about the ins and outs of Buddhism, they just want to take a picture of the big Buddha and then leave.We really enjoyed our trip and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
