Our itinerary was perfectly good! The driver Mr. KAISORN is very accomodating, the travel was smooth. He's already waiting for us in the hotel lobby even 30-40 mins from the designated time. Even though he can't speak english he can still do his job well by using google translate and gesture signals HAHAAHAH which we kinda appreciate 💕 However, the staff in the bubble forest was not accomodating, since they didn't informed us beforehand that we need to remove our shoes she nagged us loudly which is kinda frustrating because she can approach us kindly instead of shouting 😒 Moving on the place is very instagrammable. Additionaly, in the Memory House Cafe the place was really good and relaxing. The cakes are scrumptious and the venue is beautiful. All in all we had a good time and wonderful experience 🥰

We skipped two destinations from our itinerary because we were already exhausted, but I must say—we still had an amazing time! A big thank you to our driver, Mr. Phayap, for his wonderful service. Though he didn’t speak much English, we truly appreciated his patience and effort to communicate with us. Kudos to him for being so understanding and kind! We even accidentally left our wallet behind, but Mr. Phayap made sure to reach out and return it to us. Such an honest and thoughtful gesture! Highly recommend this private tour, especially if you’re up for a day of café hopping and exploring outside the city.

Our tour guide Ploi was amazing! she was very energetic all throughout the tour, she volunteers to take your photos, and uplifts the overall vibe. 5 stars! Going there with an empty stomach is a must 🤣✌️

Although I really like to travel independently, it is very tiring to use my brain all the time. Sometimes it is very relaxing to join a group without thinking for a day. You can eat, drink and make friends. I recommend it to everyone~ Traveling independently can also be a good itinerary to relax yourself❤️❤️❤️
