Everything was good but a bit expensive 1,071 THB per head. Felt bad atleast provide a soft drink or popcorn as complimentary. They have included free photo album and this is not true. You got to pay if you want your picture. Of course, given QR code but need to avail their plan to get our pictures. Overall, good experience.

It’s really super convenient to buy a one-day ticket. Sometimes when I see a long line of people lining up to buy tickets for the National People’s Congress on BTS, I feel lucky and save time in queuing.

It's fun, just walk around and relax. It's not that scary. I have to admit that some of the rooms are like you've really stepped into a movie. The glass room is the best.

Sea World is much bigger than expected, with large fish tanks and penguins. Children can stay in Sea World for three hours without getting bored!

The driver is very responsible and drives safely. Because the journey is long, we will stop at rest stops to use the restroom. In addition, the driver will also recommend Hua Hin’s attractions and food. The whole trip was really comfortable and worth it!
