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.

Our guide, Nok, was a great guide! She was super helpful and friendly, and she’s very passionate in helping us in Chinese, taking us to secret spots for foodies, and telling us interesting facts about Thai culture and that of our destinations. The coconut sugar factory was super nice, with all natural coconut products for us to taste, and an actual Thai house for us to visit. The floating market is also quite nice but I’d prefer traditional boats instead of diesel boats because of the smell. The railway market though was a bit underwhelming, and you actually do not get to ride the train itself which would have been an even better experience imo. Overall, with the affordable price I do recommend this trip to anyone interested in less-touristy travel in central Thailand.

I think this price with a Japanese-speaking guide is excellent. This time, we were lucky enough to have a private tour with Japanese support just for my husband and me. Our guide, Kusuma, was fluent in Japanese, knowledgeable, and above all, a wonderful and very considerate person. Since my husband and I rarely take photos together, she skillfully took many pictures of us at various spots, and we enjoyed having breakfast together. I highly recommend participating in the Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market, as they offer unique Thai experiences. After the tour, she also gave us advice for our subsequent sightseeing, making it a very enjoyable day. Thanks to Kusuma, I've grown to love Thailand even more, and I hope to see her again next time! It was reassuring to know that there was a hotel near the meeting point, so we could use the restroom before joining. This tour is truly highly recommended.

Mr Noni was very enthusiastic throughout the entire tour, which helped lift the mood of the whole group of ten people. Additionally, he gifted us some delicious Thai snacks and drinks so that we wouldn't be hungry between locations. The places we visited were both very beautiful and informative about Thai history. All in all, the tour was very much worth the price we paid, and when we return to Thailand, we will definitely do this again!

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!

Rendezvous-platsen var lätt att hitta då den hade en banderoll. Personalen, busschauffören och reseledaren var vänliga, hjälpsamma och professionella. Bussen var mycket ren och luftkonditioneringen var lämplig. De tillhandahöll också ett mellanmål, vatten och våtservetter. Hade roligt och kommer att boka igen med One Asia.
