This was the only tour available when I booked the day before, so I chose it. However, it turned out to be much better than I expected, and I'm glad I picked this one over other tours. The meeting time is very early, which makes the morning a bit challenging, but because of that, the temples and hiking trails were less crowded, allowing for a stress-free experience. Unfortunately, it was cloudy this time, so we couldn't see the sunrise. Our guide was also very thorough and made the experience enjoyable. I'm very grateful. We arrived back at the hotel before 9 AM, which meant we had the rest of the day to enjoy, making it very efficient. I highly recommend this tour.

This is a great tour and highly recommend. From the first friendly greeting from our guide at the meet point, we felt welcome. We were driven to the temples in a comfortable van with our guide explaining the outline of the evening. When we arrived at the temples, he explained their history in excellent English. We would have missed much of their meaning if we had been on our own. We engaged in some activities which were fun and really made the trip special. If you are thinking of a tour of these mountain temples, choose this one.

This was actually my second time participating in a Klook activity, and the tour guide was the same one I had the first time. Because he is so friendly, thoughtful, and explains everything very clearly, and also has a great sense of humor, the entire trip was incredibly enjoyable! That's why I decided to join this activity a second time!

The driver was very nice, and the overall trip was reliable. The Sticky Waterfalls are located in a forest park in Northern Thailand. The rocks of the waterfall are grayish-white with a bluish tint, which is truly amazing! The water is cool, and you can interact closely with nature as you climb up!

great morning out at the sticky waterfalls. it’s a fun drive in the tuk tuk for just over 1 hour and we spent about an hour and 15mins at the falls. you do need an adventurous spirit and an average level of fitness to clamour up the falls. plan to get a little wet and don’t wear shoes!

The top choice for getting close to elephants, and it's very close to the Old City! The driver was very friendly! We got to interact with the elephants, feed them sugarcane, walk with them, make medicinal balls to aid their digestion (banana, brown sugar, salt, tamarind, bitter melon root, rice bran powder), and bathe them in the river. The entire environment was wonderful; learning about elephants in nature was an amazing experience! The fee also helps support the elephant sanctuary, which makes it feel very worthwhile.
