Central Thailand Tour: Lotus Pond, Temple & Thai-Chinese Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★

5.0

What an amazing experience!

This tour was really special because it showed us around places that we would never find on a tourist map. Prayutsook is such a wonderful guide. She gave us so much useful info and we learned a lot about Thailand. She is also very friendly and has a great sense of humor, which makes the trip even more special :)

The Lotus Pond was stunning, the food was some of the best we've had in Thailand, the ceramic factory is like an outdoor museum, and the temples were magical. Thank you so much for this unique experience!

Polly was a wonderful guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She brought us to all the major Ayutthaya sights, and also to some places we never would have known about ourselves. We learned a lot about Thai history and Buddhism, and Polly was happy to answer our many questions. She lined up a lot of interactive activities for us, which gave us some very educational, fun, and meaningful experiences. She's also a great photographer!
