Phraya Nakhon Cave tours

I had a great experience and a wonderful time with my friends at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. The trip itself was enjoyable, and the destinations were beautiful, making it a memorable experience overall. However, one thing left us a little disappointed. The guide did not provide a proper brief or explanation about each destination, so at times we were unsure about what to do or expect. For example, when we arrived at Eureka Café, we presented our voucher but neither we nor the café staff seemed to know what it included or how it should be used. A clearer explanation from the guide about each stop and the activities or inclusions would have made the experience much smoother and more enjoyable.

Easily travel from Bangkok to Hua Hin, arranging your itinerary according to your wishes (details finalized via email three days prior). Our itinerary included: 08:00 Pick up at Hostel 09:30-10:30 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (manual boat ride, 200 Baht per person for half an hour, paid to the driver) 11:30-12:00 Khao Luang Cave (easily accessible cave) 12:10-14:00 Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace (Khao Wang Palace) (Take the cable car up the mountain, there are three places to visit, requires some walking, beautiful scenery! Although it's hot walking under the scorching sun at noon, it's worth a visit) 14:40-16:00 Mrigadayavan Palace (beautiful seaside palace) 16:15-16:20 RRC bus station (buy tickets back to the airport) Everything went smoothly and we arrived at the hotel in Hua Hin ahead of schedule. The driver, Mr. Mok, only spoke very basic English, but he confirmed the necessary details with us. As for the details of the attractions, it was convenient to look them up on my phone! Overall, I was very satisfied and felt it was a good value for money, satisfying all the attractions I wanted to visit in one go.

The tour is amazing, I recommend taking it to everyone who visits Huahin. We've agreed on our own itinerary beforehand with the managers of the tour, so the itinerary you can see here is just an option. The driver was very nice and helpful on all the parts of our journey, and though he didn't speak English well we had no problem communicating with the help of Google Translate on our phones. We've visited the Phraya Nakhon cave first: took the boat halfway and then climbed the second mountain. The climbing part takes a lot of energy, so if you wish to save it the boat is a good option. It costs 400 baht (2-4 people) and takes you to the second mountain and back after you return from the cave. The second mountain is quite steep and I recommend finding some long sticks at the foot of the mount, it will make your climbing much easier. The sights on the way to the cave are very beautiful, so even if the climbing is hard, it is definitely worth it. The cave itself is magnificent and you have to get to the cave between 10 and 12 am to get the best view of the pavilion in the light beams. After that we've visited another cave (unfortunately I don't remember the name of it), but we didn't go deep inside because the guide told us that it requires crouching and my mom's back prevents her from doing that. The nature is still amazing all around the Khao Sam Roi Yot national park, so even the driving around part of the journey is very exciting. The last stop was the Thung Sam Roi Yot Wetland, the swamp-lake near the mountains, full of lotuses and lovely birds of all types. You can just walk around it on the wooden boardwalk or you can book another boat for 500 baht (2-4 people) and it will take you around the lake for about an hour and you will see the wildlife and some magical lake-mountain views. We've seen not only the birds but the whole monkey family on a tree:) The lotuses didn't bloom mostly, but it was still a breathtaking view. As for the tickets, aside from the boats it costs 200 baht for a person to buy a ticket to the whole national park, and after that you just show the same ticket in all the places you visit. We are also very grateful to our driver that he took us to a small fruit market on the way home upon our request. All in all amazing tour, highly recommended.

Pipi Tony is the best! I loved how he shared a brief history of Thailand and the places we visited. He even backed up his stories with pictures, which made us appreciate them even more. He was patient, fun to be around, and even taught us how to haggle at the market. He also recommended foods to try that helped us save money without missing out on the experience. I can truly recommend this tour to everyone!

Our female tour guide was excellent; not only did she clearly explain the key details in both English and Chinese, but the experience was so good that you would definitely want to come back if given the chance to go on a similar tour. Keep it up for her…🙏🏻🙂

Our tour guide, Miss Wan, is so knowledgable about the spots and so accommodating to all our questions and requests. Bus ride is comfortable with complimentary cold water bottles after a quick walk to the bus from our first stop. We depart a bit late since other joiners are not yet with us but we went back to the city on time. Overall, my mom and I enjoyed the join in tour. Highly recommended for a hassle free getaway from the city center ❤️ Tip: rent a golfcart to roam around the Ancient City on your own. You may get confused with the roads but def you’ll enjoy the ride while seeing different replicas of famous temples/statues around Thailand attractions on the way: 10/10 itinerary: 8/10 (its more of a layback tour so its not for everyone who likes more exciting activities) guide: 10/10 LOVE MISS WAAAN!!!

Our guide was truly great. Both he and the insurance guy were happy to take photos of us, which is excellent, especially for solo travelers like me. I was even left behind in Wat Arun and they already crossed the river to Wat Pho because they forgot to do a headcount. It was my fault anyway as I got too fixated with my phone lol. The only unfavorable comment I have is that the entrances for the temples are too expensive but everythimg else were great!

I selected the speedboat and for me it was good choice - speedboats are smaller with smaller groups. a big more choppy but no issues. the trip was organized well with pick ups and drop offs, decent dinner. our guide was really good and clear about when we needed to come back to the boat. I found that stops were long enough - even though I could use a bit more snorkeling time (but that is personal preference). overall very good experience.
