The place is huge and there are a lot of things for my little one to explore and play with - slides, train, dinosaurs, pretend play, light show, mirror maze. Highly recommended if you want to burn the little ones’ energy.

Clean environment & good location. Everything was well prepared. Cooling air conditioner. Just a little noisy if someone is talking at/ walking by the corridors.

This hotel doesn't have a refrigerator, but the toilet is big and the bed is comfortable. It is close to many cave attractions.

The trip saves effort, though not necessarily time or money—but it still feels worthwhile. It’s flexible: the driver takes you to popular spots, and you can stay as long as you like at each. Lunch is included, but it’s a fixed set; you’ll need to pay extra if you want more variety. The car is spacious and clean. However, there’s room for improvement in communication. Although LINE is listed as a contact method on Klook, it’s not commonly used locally, so the driver couldn’t reach me beforehand—and didn’t try calling either. The itinerary also lacks detail. I didn’t know how much time I could spend at each location or what the next stop would be. That undermines the flexibility, as better planning could have helped avoid repetitive sights.
