This place is very good, the environment is comfortable, the technicians' service is first-rate, and we are given different drinks and snacks when entering and leaving the store. The price/performance ratio is very high. I will definitely come back next time.

The tour guide and driver were very enthusiastic and polite! The entire trip was quite tight, and with the traffic jam in Phuket, we had to hurry up for every attraction, otherwise we would be late. Rather than a half-day trip, I felt it was a full day.

A stunning, bright and memorable show. I don't recommend visiting it for "staple" Russians, it loosens the staples a bit.
