Passeios por Phraya Nakhon Cave

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.

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 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.

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.
