It was an amazing experience - the park had 3 tube slides and 2 body slides for adults and a superb water park for kids. Clean toilets and very reasonable prices for lunch menu. Recharge for 1000 Bhat or more to spend on rentals and food - they return the remaining amount at the exit. Highly recommend going there

I like it. The room is good, but the air conditioner is not cool. I called to fix it twice. It took quite a long walk from the front of the hotel to get it working. But overall, it's okay.

Jenny and Bank were great tour guides. We should have more time to spend at the ancient city since its a big area.. Less hour in others... Too bad the great buddha was under renovation... It would be one of the best highlight in the tour. Other than that the tour was great

It is a wonderful memory for parents and children. It is highly recommended to come and play. It is cheap and fun. What is more inconvenient is that the transportation distance is a bit far, but everything else is acceptable.

It started off great because getting to the meet-up point was very easy when you take the MRT. It became a little shaky because we had to wait for two late comers until 09:20 when we should’ve left them behind already, however our tour guide Ploi was very nice and considerate. She took care of us from the moment we arrived at the Future Restaurant and Cafe, until we had to be dropped off at Jodds Fair Food Market. She gave us lots of advice about public transportation and even taught us a few Thai words. She also taught us a little bit about Thai history. The buffet lunch was a little chaotic to fall in line for, but food was delicious and the ladies making the noodles and dessert by the riverside on actual docked boats made for a good experience. We definitely got good pictures and were able to watch a Thai dance and Thai boxing performance. All in all it was very worth it.
