Passeios por Pa La-U Waterfalls

We booked this tour last minute as we have family from the US visiting Thailand for the first time. We wanted to give them the full Thai experience and this tour did just that. Our guide picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Pa-La- U falls where he guided us to 4 of the 15 levels of the trek which resulted in beautiful views and serene surroundings. We were able to feed the carp with the food that was provided to us which was a fun experience. After the tour he took us to Coffee Meekao for phenomenal Pad Thai with the largest and freshest river prawns. On the way back we made stops to the pineapple plantation then he picked up fresh pineapple to tie in the story of how it’s farmed and what the final result is. To top it off he had one more stop for some fresh fried bananas which was super delicious. Our guide and the tour is highly recommended!

You can easily travel from Bangkok to Hua Hin and arrange your itinerary according to your preferences (details finalized via email correspondence three days in advance). Our itinerary included: 08:00 Pick up at Hostel; 09:30-10:30 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (200 Thai Baht per person for a 30-minute paddle boat ride, paid to the driver); 11:30-12:00 Khao Luang Cave (an easily accessible cave); 12:10-14:00 Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace (Khao Wang Palace) (after taking the cable car up the mountain, there are three places to visit, requiring some walking, and the scenery is beautiful! Although it was very hot walking under the scorching sun at noon, it was well worth a visit); 14:40-16:00 Mrigadayavan Palace (a beautiful seaside palace); 16:15-16:20 RRC bus station (to buy tickets for the return trip to the airport). Everything went smoothly, and we arrived at our Hua Hin hotel ahead of schedule. Although the driver, Mr. Mok, only spoke very basic English, he confirmed all necessary details with us. As for the details of the attractions, it was very convenient to look them up on our phones! Overall, we were very satisfied and felt it offered great value for money, allowing us to visit all the attractions we wanted to see in one go.

The agent contacted us the day before and informed us that the waterfall was temporarily closed due to damaged facilities. We had to change to another trip, visiting Monkey Mountain, the park dedicated to the great Thai king, and a vineyard. We were a bit disappointed, but the substitute trip wasn't bad. From Monkey Mountain, you can get a very nice view of Hua Hin beach, and the vineyard was amazing too. We ordered some food at the vineyard, and it was surprisingly yummy.

Pipi Tony is de beste! Ik vond het geweldig hoe hij een korte geschiedenis van Thailand en de plaatsen die we bezochten deelde. Hij ondersteunde zijn verhalen zelfs met foto's, waardoor we ze nog meer waardeerden. Hij was geduldig, leuk om mee om te gaan en leerde ons zelfs hoe we moesten afdingen op de markt. Hij raadde ook gerechten aan om te proberen die ons hielpen geld te besparen zonder de ervaring te missen. Ik kan deze tour echt aan iedereen aanbevelen!

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 everything else was great!

I selected the speedboat and for me it was a good choice - speedboats are smaller with smaller groups. A bit more choppy but no issues. The trip was organized well with pickups 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, a very good experience.
