This voucher included unlimited coffee and tea. If you apply directly, you can only drink one of them, so the unlimited drink option is a great deal.

This tour is very good value, there is no hassle in buying the tickets yourself, but it is much cheaper. The tour guide Nicky is really great. He can speak Chinese and English very well. He explains the historical background of each scenic spot in great detail. The whole itinerary is very smooth. I highly recommend this itinerary.

It was so relaxing. I really like onsen and had been doing it a lot to ny country. This is a nice Onsen to spend 8 hours in. The food os cheap too, 150 Baht for a chicken salad. The place maybe not as big as the Onsen I use to go to but it has it’s own touch.

The environment is clean, tidy and private. The massage techniques of the service chef are moderate. It feels like you are kneading and pressing with skillful force. It is not just a pain. It makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. If you come here for massage on the first day you arrive in Thailand, you will come here every day. check in.

After visiting the monuments in Ayutthaya in one day, there were Japanese, Chinese and English tour guides who were very dedicated in explaining the historical stories of each scenic spot in different languages. It was very busy and the time at each point was tight. The temple buildings in this city are from the same period. Architecture, so they are all very similar!

The location is very easy to find, you can reach it within about 5 minutes' walk from Asok Skytrain Station. It seems that there are more European and American people here, most of whom came after purchasing Klook package itineraries. The reception staff are very polite, and the massage teachers are professional in their techniques (the teachers have enough time to do the massage). The environment is clean, and there are snacks before and after the treatment, which is impeccable. The only thing I have to say is that the pace is fast, come quickly, come quickly, go quickly like this

Tour guide - Nicky, is a passionate, funny and responsibily bilingual tour guide. Explained the stories about each attractions well to us, but quite rush because we only have 30 mins to 1 hour (for Bang Pa-in Loyal) for each attractions. Will introduce to my friends.

It is very convenient to book using klook. You can also reserve a time and just show the QR code when you arrive at the store. If you choose the morning time slot, there are also discounts, including rice snacks before the spa and mango sticky rice after the spa.
