To complain is the announced English speaking guide. It was a nice Thai, but he could not speak more than 4-5 words of English. That was a pity, as I only expected information about the National Park

The trip was very successful, traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned car. A walk in the park with a ranger looking out for animals. The park itself is very nice, at the end a short walk without a (Read More)guard to one of the waterfalls.

The park is very beautiful, pure nature. We didn't see any animals. The trip is poorly planned in that regard. If you're in the park at lunchtime, you have no chance of seeing animals. If you really w (Read More)ant to see animals, you should go on a night hike there. Even our nice guide only spoke a few words of poor English. Which is why you couldn't really take anything worth knowing with you. A few display boards to bridge the language barrier might be useful. The path to the waterfall was beautiful. Overall, there is beautiful nature to admire, but due to the amount of time it takes to get there from Bangkok, you have to consider whether it's worth it. Our driver Kong was great and spoke great English.

The park is undoubtedly amazing and truly Nature in the truest sense of the word! In fact we didn't get to see any animals apart from a snake and some insects; I was sorry but I didn't consider it a b (Read More)ad thing since it means that the animals are really left free and unconditional! I must say however, although the trekking guide was a very nice and very nice 65 year old with 40 years of experience in the park, for the price paid for the excursion I expected a little more explanations, instead he only knew 3 words of English ... Furthermore, our driver took us to the waterfalls, instead I thought there was a guide, like the ones we then met along the way, who pointed out animals and dens to people, instead for us it was just a nice walk !

The park is decent. I didn't manage to see many different animals.

Overall it was a good tour. But since I was the only participant, it could have been addressed. I had booked a guide for the hike and it took an hour (I had read the description for two hours). This h (Read More)our was relatively hectic and you had to go through the trekking path quickly. Then we drove to the waterfall. It was very nice and I could spend as much time there as I wanted. That again wasn't necessary (I was there for an hour for the walk and to take photos). Accordingly, we were 1.5 hours earlier in Bangkok than stated.
