The tour leader P two is very enthusiastic and professional. The best thing is that he can speak simple Chinese and easy-to-understand English. The whole trip was very relaxing and happy. I experienced an environment different from the busy Bangkok. I saw many animals and lush plant forests. It is recommended for travelers who love the natural environment~👍
