A guided 2-hour longtail boat ride through Bangkok klongs in Thonburi, with stops at Baan Silapin and Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen.
“There was not much commentary on the places we saw along the way, not many interesting facts and figures Lifevests were provided but they were dirty and not in great condition Our trip stopped at a tourist shop selling some art and other things, which was not bad, but it was not advertised as a shopping tour If you have never been on the canals before and just want a tour that shows you some without commentary this tour could be ok”

A 5-hour Koh Samui highlights tour with hotel pickup, iconic temples, scenic viewpoints, Na Muang Waterfall, and optional elephant-camp time.
“so we'll organised and all on time. we saw so much but didn't stay too long at each stop which suited us. our guide was great. thank you, highly recommend this trip”
Big boat from Phuket to Phang Nga Bay, canoe sea caves, Hong Island lagoons, and James Bond stops, with buffet lunch and drinks.
“Excellent value for the money. Delicious food, incredible entertainment while on the boat, awesome kayaking activities, and the stops were organized and well timed. This trip had it all. Only thing I think should be improved is the transfer from the boat to the james bond island via the large long tail boat. That thing was falling apart and fell unsafe. People had to walk along super narrow edges to get to their seats. Fine for young people but dangerous for older or people with poor mobility or balance. Anyway, best way to spend a day while in Phuket.”
