Our driver, Mr Eak, was polite and gentle. He was always punctual and though he doesn’t speak much English, he tried to provide us with some simple information about the places of interest at Khao Yai through Google translation. Having a driver to ferry you around Khao Yai from Bangkok is a wise decision. The drive from Bangkok to Khao Yai alone takes more than 3 hours and having an experienced driver to navigate the traffic of Bangkok towards Khao Yai really makes the trip a lot more enjoyable and a lot less tiring.

Loved the idea of having the flexibility to plan and set off whichever time we want. Our driver and guide (toam) is punctual and car is clean and spacious. he speaks a little english but no worries as google translate solved most of the communications. the places the itineary recommends is quite relaxing and not so tiring on my family, especially that i am travelling with little kids. One great aspect of this package is the pick up and drop off at downtown bangkok. Saves me a great deal of time and hassle in arranging transport. overall would recommend others for this tour package.

We booked a multi-day private car charter from Bangkok to Khao Yai through Klook, and we were incredibly lucky to have Mr. Batt as our driver! The attractions in Khao Yai are quite spread out, and public transportation is inconvenient, so having such a professional, dedicated, and enthusiastic driver truly made our trip easy and perfect. We especially want to commend Mr. Batt for several reasons: **Punctual and Safe Driving:** He was very punctual every day, and his driving was incredibly smooth and safe. We felt completely at ease, even on mountain roads. **Stress-Free Flexibility:** He has an extremely friendly and humorous demeanor, and he is super patient! At every attraction, he gave us immense freedom regarding both time and location, never rushing us or putting any time pressure on us. While waiting for us, he would occupy himself, ensuring we felt no psychological burden. **Thoughtful and Flexible Itinerary:** When we arrived at some Khao Yai attractions and found them not as expected, or were a bit disappointed, he would proactively observe and thoughtfully suggest other, better attractions or cafes, helping us to improve our itinerary! **Became Our Photographer:** Throughout the trip, he also frequently and proactively took many group photos for us; he was very enthusiastic. Mr. Batt is truly wonderful, full of joy and positive energy. We sincerely hope every AK Tour driver can be as excellent as he is! If you're chartering a car in Khao Yai, we strongly recommend requesting Mr. Batt; he will definitely enhance your trip! Thank you again to him!
