Well-organized tour without too much waiting, as can sometimes happen. Dunkin, our guide, was very friendly and the places visited were magnificent. Good luck to those who climb the steps of Wat Tham Suea! It's really worth it.

The hike up the mountain was tough, but totally worth it. Took photos of one of the greatest views I've ever witnessed. The hot springs were also a plus.

Our guide Arun was really an expert and told us many interesting things along the route. We loved every moment of the tour, the temple hike up the stairs requires being fit but is DEFINITELY worth it. 10/10

Everything was perfect, exactly as scheduled and according to the itinerary! The pick-up arrived at the hotel on time. At the meeting point, there were far more snacks, coffee, and juice than other companies offered! The restrooms were very clean and stocked with paper! Our guide was Poppy, and she was very friendly. There was another person supporting her, and since I was traveling alone, they offered to take photos for me. We traveled in a large bus between each location, and bottled water was always available. Basically, this tour has set meeting times, but it's mostly free time. I was happy that I could move around as I pleased! I wasn't expecting much from the natural hot spring, but it was better than I imagined! Even though it was a tour, they gave us about an hour to relax and soak. After soaking for 10 minutes, I started to sweat gently; the temperature was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. I also went to the Blue Pool, which is past the Emerald Pool, but it was a bit of a walk and tiring... Climbing to the top of the mountain at Tiger Temple is very challenging, haha! I was drenched in sweat. The lunch buffet was delicious and satisfying.
