The show started on time. Good and professional performers. Good choice of songs as well. This buy 1 take 1 ticket from klook is a steal!

The area was nice and clean, and the common space was a relaxing, chill spot to hang out. They also have a self service laundry, which was super convenient! The hostel’s location is great it’s close to the bus stop, and if you use the Anywheel or Helloride app, there’s even a nearby parking station where you can easily rent a bike. They keep the place very clean, with the staff tidying up every morning. There are also plenty of shower rooms and toilets, so it never feels crowded or inconvenient. Overall, it’s a comfortable and well maintained place to stay perfect for travelers looking for a relaxing and hassle free experience. Plus, there’s a cute cat that loves to nap on the common area couch, which makes the place feel even more homey.

Ken was very accommodating and genuinely kind. He shared fascinating insights about the history of Wat Pho and Wat Arun, and even recommended other places to visit to learn more about Thailand’s rich culture and heritage. The whole tour was relaxed, and we had the freedom to explore the area at our own pace. For just a half-day walking tour, I learned and experienced so much. If you get Ken as your guide, you’re truly in good hands! :)

Book in advance! It's much cheaper and more cost-effective. Plus, we got a free upgrade to a 9-seater van, which was a great value. And it's much cheaper than actually calling a taxi. Highly recommended!

It was worth it! We could've used it more but we lost track of time in the places we went (Wat Arun, Iconsiam, Asiatique). Really a fun experience and they have a pamphlet with the boat routes. There was also an English translations of the boat announcements. Fun experience and highly recommended!!! My mom and I enjoyed this!
