We have been to Thailand 5 times and this was the first time doing this tour.It was really good value we both enjoyed it very much we went to the cashew nut factory and learned how the nut grew which we did,nt know how much work they need to do on them.Now when we look at the prices of them in the supermarkets they are not that pricey at all .A very good tour and excellent value
the beginning of the tour was very good. many sehenswuerdigkeiten were approached. But then it happened. We drove by a souverniershop the jewelry factory and on to the nut shop. This went on it all the time
Für den Preis völlig ok. Leider wurden wir nicht pünktlich abgeholt, da man an einem falschen Ort wartete, aber mit ein wenig telefonieren kamen wir dann an. In Thailand hilft jeder gerne. Die Tour ist für den Preis natürlich nicht sehr umfangreich. Es ist der Sunset View Point zu sehen, allerdings morgens, das Wat Chalong und zwei Fabriken. Eine für Cashew Nüsse und die zweite ist die größte Schmuck-Fabrik der Welt. Insgesamt ok, aber für den Preis kann man sich bei 3-4 Personen auch ein Taxi für den halben Tag nehmen und alles abfahren. Der Guide war nett und sein Englisch ok.
This tour is excellent! It is both educational and fun for adults and children. Lots of photo opportunities. The facilities are well maintained and there are some shopping opportunities. Another well organised Thai event - fantastic!
Value for money wise this is an excellent trip. You get to see various viewpoints of the islands where you can take photographs or just admire the beauty of the island. The Guide gave us some excellent information at each location and her English was first class.
We also visited a nut factory and a gem factory. We were shown how the nuts are removed from their casings to be flavored and packaged.Obviously they are for sale in the shop at the location and there are loads of different varieties to try in advance to buying and to be honest I tryed most and bought quite a few also.
The visit to the Gem factory was the last stop and you see how the gems are cleaned and made into all types of jewellery which again is finished with a trip around the shop to buy. My wife informed me that the prices were good. Although there were shops in both the factory locations there was no big pressure to buy just the typically friendly Thai way. Excellent trip worth doing to break up just sitting by the beach or pool but you are still back at the Hotel in time to still have a few hours lazing.
Very informative tour giving a glimpse of Thailand. Highly recommended
Well worth it
Good value for money, guide was friendly, informative and helpful. However, ran out of time and did not see all sights mentoned on website. Time should have been controlled better.
very good trip
It was so so tour. Nothing especially interesting and tour guide didn't seem to be very entusiastic. If anything I liked cashew factory, at least we got to try something interesting food and drinks there.
This trip is great and something you will always remember. They give you an insight into how they used Ox to plough the land, how the Coconut is important to the Island with various demonstrations of their uses. They show you various ways they make Curry and ask you to try some and also demonstrate how Rubber is collected and used from the large ammounts of Rubber trees in the area. The best bit is obviously the Elephant ride and not only is the ride good some of the views you are shown on the route are stunning. The day is great but don,t just expect an Elephant ride as there are other things that take place. Do not also think that the educational things are boring as you move from one thing to another at a fair old pace so Children won,t get bored as the guide is excellent and makes the stops interesting and involves all. You get to taste, smell, touch various things. I would reccomend this trip to all ages.
