We booked for 3 day 2 nights. Definitely recommend if you are planning to go to Khao Yai as it removes the hassle of planning your way around and public transport/taxi/ride-hailing is not common in Khao Yai. TTD and the local tour operator were responsive and allowed us to customize our itinerary to the places we wanted to go. They also alerted us regarding the cash we would need to prepare for the attraction tickets beforehand. Do note that most places in Khao Yai, including restaurants and markets, prefer cash so prepare some cash before your trip. Our driver, Ms Natchaporn, was an expert navigator and friendly.

Pu was a great driver. The journey to Khao Yai was smooth and steady. He was able to recommend and provide suggestions to our itinerary despite the language barrier which wasn’t a big issue with google translate. Will definitely book this again and request for the same driver when I visit Khao Yai in future.

The driver is responsible and punctual. although he does not know english he will use google translate to comms with us. We were suppose to give 300 baht extra as our hotel is out of the normal service zone. We gave him 600 as a mistake and he is very honest to inform us. Overall, a very good service.
