Thai happiness
This is the best tour you can do around Krabi! Experience Thai happiness as you float through the mangroves. The positive vibe of the guides made our day perfect. We would love to come back again!

Overall a nice experience
We had a nice experience going on this trip. The blue lagoon, Koh Sam Sao and the national park with the viewing point are beautiful. Some activities felt a bit rushed (snorkelling - the location was nothing special, kayaking - was very short but fun). They will also try to sell you water shoes on the boat and make you feel like you need them (especially since they take your shoes away when initially boarding the boat) but you do not need them and eventually, they will return your shoes :)

Great day!
It was a great day out on a boat fishing, Jo the deckhand was very helpful and cooked a fantastic yummy lunch! Lots of little fish caught, would be perfect for families with kids! The only downfall was out transport to and from the wharf with our driver going to 3 wrong hotels to pick people up and him picking up a hitch hiker on the way back, which I thought was a little bizarre! Overall a great day and would highly recommend.

Excellent day out at the Anthong Marine Park
The trip was excellent value for money. All the staff were super helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and we felt safe at all times. The trip was very smoothly timed and organised - we didn’t feel rushed and lunch was delicious! Constantly offered water and cola which was so appreciated. Amazing trip to see the beautiful Marine park - would highly recommended Mr Tu tours

Great private tour
We took the tour on Aug 31st and it was only me and my boyfriend. We are so grateful they did not cancel the tour and were still able to get us through the whole experience. Our tour guide picked us up at our hotel and drove us through a lot of local farming fields and always making sure to provide great local facts. The raft house hotel was better than what I was expecting. There is only a ceiling fan but this was enough as it was not hot during the night. All food was exceptionally great and abundant. Cheow lake is such a beautiful lake and it is worth visiting.

Fun & informative cooking class
Fun & informative cooking class! The teacher and staff were extremely helpful. Nice options to choose from, although would have liked Phad Thai as an option. Great ingredients though- very fresh & locally sourced. You choose 4 dishes as a group which was a little surprising since we were paired with a larger group. We worked it out though. Also, in the group there were vegetarians and some with allergens and they were extremely accommodating to all providing great suggestions for options. A fun way to spend an evening. Prepared to be full and takeaway for later enjoyment!

Best Thai cooking class and experience
We had a wonderful time at Chef Apple's Thai cooking class. Her expertise and enthusiasm made learning both fun and easy. We explored a local market, cooked classic dishes like Pad Thai, and enjoyed a delicious meal together. Apple's personal stories and tips added depth to our cooking experience. Highly recommend this immersive and enjoyable class! We are family of 6. All the family live it. Suggest to Come hungry 😀

Convienient way to travel from Hua Hin to Koh Phanang/ Koh Samui islands
The bus started from Lomprayah office in downtown Hua Hin. We were told to report 15 mins prior to departure which was scheduled for 0845. Our luggage was tagged for Koh Phanang with orange tags and the others were tagged with different colors depending on where you are alighting. The bus took us to Chumphon jetty where we alighted and waited for the ferry. The journey to Chumphon took about 3.5 hours. The bus was comfortable BUT the toilet was extremely stinky and the smell permeated the whole bus. While waiting at the jetty we bought lunch of which there was a wide variety of Thai and western type of food. Then when our boat was ready, we boarded and our luggage was kept separately. The Catamaran ferry was fast, GPS clocked it at 49 kmph, and we reached Koh Phangan after dropping off people at 2 islands at 1600h.

A Gastronomically Fun Time!
Such a great experience for our trip to Krabi! Started with a pick up direct from our villa. We were the only students so we had all the attention from Chef Mew! She was sweet, kind, attentive and patiently imparted her knowledge of Thai cooking to us! She and the staff even prepared a little birthday surprise for my girlfriend and presented her with a birthday gift! Truly a memorable experience plus a digital cookbook to continue dishing out our Thai favs when we get home! Highly recommend!

Horrible experience
This was just such an awful experience. We boarded at Railay and got off at Phuket. It was hot which is expected, but no breeze as no air can flow through the sealed windows. Think squished shoulder to shoulder with others and sweat from strangers everywhere. can’t see out, even though we asked to sit up front where my husband can see so he didn’t get sick, reception told us that would be ok, but at second stop we all as to sit down the back next to the motors with black smoke and fumes all we could breathe in. No view you just sit looking at the people opposite you who seem equally uncomfortable. I would not do it again that is certain

Snorkeling trip to Similan islands

- Pick-up: somewhat early but on time, careful driving and clean vehicle, no flexibility on preferred departure and return time as group dependent
- At the pier: well organized industry for processing vast number of tourists, longish waiting times, clean amenities, fair food
- Boat trip: fast, modern and well crewed, treats on board, safe and clean snorkeling gear
- Sites: two snorkeling sites and two at the beach stays. Beautiful underwater, overcrowded on the surface (expect at least half a dozen of other boats with each around 30 snorkelers )
- Lunch break: poor to fair, beach overcrowded see above
- Staff: professional, caring and nice
- Value for money: fair if you don’t mind a crowd

Dear Bonus_n_Howel Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the boat trip itself, with its modern amenities, friendly crew, and beautiful underwater sights. We appreciate you acknowledging the professionalism and care of our staff as well. We understand your feedback about the waiting times and crowded beaches. As you mentioned, these can be unavoidable factors with group tours due to industry processing and popularity of the destinations. We do try our best to balance timely departures with ensuring everyone gets on board. For future reference, we do offer some private tour options that may provide more flexibility on timing and potentially less crowded areas. You can find more details on our website! Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Nice snorkeling

We were four people on a day trip. We got a price of 2200 baht per person from a local tour operator in Khao Lak close to our resort. Thus DKK 440 per person, which is far cheaper than the price if booked from home.
We had a really nice day. It was interesting to visit the harbor nomads on the similan islands (monk). We could easily spend more than half an hour there.
After that we had to go snorkelling. The water was nice, but unfortunately there were small firemen who stung at the place we were snorkelling. Our kids didn't want to snorkel after that. Later we visited several other snorkel sites. The last place was very beautiful. We saw barracuda, moray eel, nemofish and many others I don't know the name of. The guide jumped into the water first and checked that there were no firefighters in the water.
Thank you for a lovely experience.

Sensational Snorkelling

Nov 2023 • Family

Similan National Park snorkelling tour was absolutely sensational, this trip is a definite must. Our two boys 11 & 14 are utterly amazed with the array of fish species and we were fortunate enough to see a beautiful turtle. The food hall upon arrival & return provided a simple meal, with an additional drinks provided throughout the day. It was well organised with information provided prior to departure.
