Tours de Phraya Nakhon Cave

I had a great experience and a wonderful time with my friends at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. The trip itself was enjoyable, and the destinations were beautiful, making it a memorable experience overall. However, one thing left us a little disappointed. The guide did not provide a proper brief or explanation about each destination, so at times we were unsure about what to do or expect. For example, when we arrived at Eureka Café, we presented our voucher but neither we nor the café staff seemed to know what it included or how it should be used. A clearer explanation from the guide about each stop and the activities or inclusions would have made the experience much smoother and more enjoyable.

És fàcil viatjar de Bangkok a Hua Hin, i podeu planificar el vostre itinerari segons les vostres preferències (els detalls es van concretar per correu electrònic tres dies abans). El nostre itinerari incloïa: 08:00 Recollida a l'Hostel; 09:30-10:30 Mercat flotant de Damnoen Saduak (200 bahts per persona per mitja hora en barca de rems, pagament al conductor); 11:30-12:00 Cova de Khao Luang (una cova de fàcil accés); 12:10-14:00 Palau de Phra Nakhon Khiri (Palau de Khao Wang) (després de pujar amb el telefèric, hi ha tres llocs per visitar, cal caminar una mica, les vistes són precioses! Tot i que feia molta calor sota el sol del migdia, va valer molt la pena la visita); 14:40-16:00 Palau de Mrigadayavan (un bonic palau costaner); 16:15-16:20 Estació d'autobusos RRC (per comprar els bitllets de tornada a l'aeroport). Tot va anar bé i vam arribar a l'hotel de Hua Hin abans del previst. El conductor, el Sr. Mok, tot i que només parlava un anglès molt bàsic, va confirmar amb nosaltres els detalls necessaris. Pel que fa als detalls dels llocs d'interès, va ser molt convenient buscar-los al mòbil! En general, estem molt satisfets, creiem que té una alta relació qualitat-preu i ens va permetre visitar tots els llocs que volíem.

The tour is amazing, I recommend taking it to everyone who visits Huahin. We've agreed on our own itinerary beforehand with the managers of the tour, so the itinerary you can see here is just an option. The driver was very nice and helpful on all the parts of our journey, and though he didn't speak English well we had no problem communicating with the help of Google Translate on our phones. We've visited the Phraya Nakhon cave first: took the boat halfway and then climbed the second mountain. The climbing part takes a lot of energy, so if you wish to save it the boat is a good option. It costs 400 baht (2-4 people) and takes you to the second mountain and back after you return from the cave. The second mountain is quite steep and I recommend finding some long sticks at the foot of the mount, it will make your climbing much easier. The sights on the way to the cave are very beautiful, so even if the climbing is hard, it is definitely worth it. The cave itself is magnificent and you have to get to the cave between 10 and 12 am to get the best view of the pavilion in the light beams. After that we've visited another cave (unfortunately I don't remember the name of it), but we didn't go deep inside because the guide told us that it requires crouching and my mom's back prevents her from doing that. The nature is still amazing all around the Khao Sam Roi Yot national park, so even the driving around part of the journey is very exciting. The last stop was the Thung Sam Roi Yot Wetland, the swamp-lake near the mountains, full of lotuses and lovely birds of all types. You can just walk around it on the wooden boardwalk or you can book another boat for 500 baht (2-4 people) and it will take you around the lake for about an hour and you will see the wildlife and some magical lake-mountain views. We've seen not only the birds but the whole monkey family on a tree:) The lotuses didn't bloom mostly, but it was still a breathtaking view. As for the tickets, aside from the boats it costs 200 baht for a person to buy a ticket to the whole national park, and after that you just show the same ticket in all the places you visit. We are also very grateful to our driver that he took us to a small fruit market on the way home upon our request. All in all amazing tour, highly recommended.

La nostra guia, la Nok, va ser una guia excel·lent! Va ser molt servicial i amable, i es va mostrar molt apassionada a ajudar-nos en xinès, portant-nos a llocs secrets per a gurmets i explicant-nos fets interessants sobre la cultura tailandesa i la de les nostres destinacions. La fàbrica de sucre de coco era molt agradable, amb tots els productes de coco naturals per tastar, i una autèntica casa tailandesa per visitar. El mercat flotant també és força agradable, però preferiria vaixells tradicionals en lloc de vaixells dièsel a causa de l'olor. El mercat del tren, però, va ser una mica decebedor, i en realitat no es pot pujar al tren, cosa que hauria estat una experiència encara millor, al meu entendre. En general, amb el preu assequible, recomano aquest viatge a qualsevol persona interessada en viatges menys turístics al centre de Tailàndia.

Crec que aquest preu amb un guia de parla japonesa és excel·lent. Aquesta vegada, vam tenir la sort de gaudir d'un tour privat, ja que només el meu marit i jo parlàvem japonès. La nostra guia, Kusuma, parlava japonès amb fluïdesa, tenia molts coneixements i, el més important, era una persona meravellosa i molt atenta. Com que normalment no ens fem fotos junts, va ser fantàstic que ens en fes moltes en diferents llocs. També vam esmorzar junts i ens ho vam passar molt bé. Recomano molt participar en aquest tour, ja que els mercats de Maeklong i flotant ofereixen una experiència única de Tailàndia. Després del tour, ens va donar consells per a la resta del nostre viatge, i va ser un dia molt agradable. Gràcies a la Kusuma, m'estimo Tailàndia encara més i espero tornar-la a veure la propera vegada! Com que el nostre hotel estava a prop del punt de trobada, vam poder anar al lavabo abans de començar, cosa que va ser un alleujament. Realment és un tour molt recomanable.

El senyor Noni va estar molt entusiasta durant tot el recorregut, cosa que va ajudar a animar el grup de deu persones. A més, ens va regalar uns deliciosos aperitius i begudes tailandeses perquè no tinguéssim gana entre lloc i lloc. Els llocs que vam visitar eren molt bonics i informatius sobre la història de Tailàndia. En resum, el recorregut va valer molt la pena pel preu que vam pagar i quan tornem a Tailàndia, sens dubte el tornarem a fer!

Our guide was truly great. Both he and the insurance guy were happy to take photos of us, which is excellent, especially for solo travelers like me. I was even left behind in Wat Arun and they already crossed the river to Wat Pho because they forgot to do a headcount. It was my fault anyway as I got too fixated with my phone lol. The only unfavorable comment I have is that the entrances for the temples are too expensive but everythimg else were great!

Meet up place was easy to find as it had a banner. Staff, bus driver, and tour guide were friendly, helpful, and professional. Bus was very clean and aircon was appropriate. They also provided a snack, water, and wet towels. Had fun and will book again with One Asia.
