We had the van to ourselves! Transportation was comfortable. We had to pay extra for Nong Nooch Garden though. Our guide was very helpful even though he doesn’t speak english. He used google translate but that’s ok. He seemed to know the show times in Nong Nooch. He was very kind to take pictures of us in every spot. Overall a great experience!!

This place is a 2-hr drive from Bangkok. The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most awe-inspiring and unique landmarks in Thailand. Built entirely out of wood and adorned with intricate hand-carved sculptures, this massive temple-like structure is not only a work of architectural genius but also a spiritual and philosophical statement. It’s worth the drive and highly recommended place. Other activities are available as well. Would love to comeback if time permits.

The tour guide Mr. Nonni is really funny and enthusiastic. He will take the initiative to help everyone take photos at each scenic spot. There will also be prizes for quizzes on the bus, and labubu keychains will be given away. The children are very happy. I give you a thumbs up●●

To be honest, we were a bit hesitant to book Mandarin Eastville at first—the photos looked a little too good to be true for the price. But wow, it completely exceeded our expectations! The hotel is spotless, looks brand new, and truly delivers a luxurious 5-star experience. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. Location-wise, it's just a quick Bolt or Grab ride away from all the major attractions, so getting around was super convenient. If you're specifically looking for a beachfront hotel, this isn’t it—but don’t let that stop you. The overall value and experience make it more than worth the stay. Highly recommended!

We saw some vlogs that featured this museum, and we were not disappointed when we saw this majestic work of art. This is truly one of a kind. The musuem itself is great and the surroundings is also relaxing - they really take care of it. Inside and outside the museum, every corner is IG-worthy and every detail tells a story. You’ll never experience this in another part pf the world, it’s a gem only found in Thailand. Love this place!
