This time booked from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya Hotel, of the SUV, this is not the first time to book this type of car, but this time the car is a little older, but the interior is more comfortable and can still have enough space Putting in two large luggages, there was a big traffic jam on the way from Bangkok to Pattaya, which ended up taking about three hours to get to the destination

Great museum with a lot of woodwork right next to the sea. It's. Still being constructed so you have to wear a helmet inside. They have different language guides like Thai Chinese English etc and you have to accompany the guide atleast for the initial 30 minutes or so and then you are let own your own to roam around and take photos. Klook helped me get a discount here as well

According to the guide, I found a sign with the klook logo and my name on it at Bangkok Airport. I waited for about 10 minutes and the driver arrived. It was a comfortable 90-minute drive with a polite driver and smooth driving. very good experience
