The tour guide was very nice and friendly, and would appropriately remind us of places to pay attention to and places to avoid lightning. This cafe trip and the boat trip are quite relaxing, very suitable for bringing families together, especially with children. You can drink coffee and eat snacks in the cafe, and the environment of the cafe is very good, with complete facilities, free to play, and small animals to see. It is really a cafe with a high CP value.

Excellent experience on the Klook Nakhon Pathom & Wat Samphran one-day culture and food tour! Despite our driver not speaking fluent Chinese or English, he made an effort to explain the various places we visited, showing his passion for sharing local knowledge. The car was clean and comfortable, making our journey even more enjoyable. We loved exploring the cultural sites and trying local food. Highly recommend this tour for a taste of authentic Thai culture. Great job!
