P'Pai was an amazing your guide! Every opportunity was a photo opportunity - if you wanted. Which was an amazing thing for me being a solo traveller. The itinerary was jam packed with Wat Pak Nam, Erawan Museum and the Ancient City. 11/10 would recommend this tour for anyone coming to Thailand!! The only negative thing was that the Big Buddha station was under construction but if you're going mid to late 2025, hopefully it'll be finished it's construction!!

The tour guide and driver are so accommodating. They helped us out through our tour. It was a smooth tour and no traffic. I love the places we visited. I get to ride an elephant with the tour’s recommended camp.

I read earlier that there is a free shuttle bus that goes directly to the water park mall, but I don’t know if I got on the wrong bus and went to another mall, and finally took a taxi there.
