The makeup artist is very professional and completes the makeup quickly and the makeup feels just right without looking like Amei. The hairstylist couldn't achieve my ideal hairstyle because there was no hair iron on site, but he tried his best to complete it and was very satisfied.

It was the first time for children to ride in a light balloon. They felt very excited. The whole journey was very safe. They were picked up and dropped off by a special car from the hotel, and there were snacks of champagne. It is highly recommended for both adults and children to participate, and choose a sunny day.

This is a very good traditional Thai massage experience! First of all, the environment of this branch in the old town is very beautiful. Secondly, the staff is very friendly. Even though we were a few minutes late due to traffic jam, they still made up for the scheduled time. In addition, the masseuse's strength is very sufficient! And the rice cakes and ginger tea provided are great

It's a pity that we chose to travel during the rainy season, so the sky was not good, which made it difficult to visit the Long Neck Tribe. Even so, the tour guide was still very responsible in introducing the attractions. I was more disappointed that the management of the Long Neck Tribe was not very good. It can be seen that it is too commercialized and not very well managed, but overall it was still a worthwhile experience.
