Nature tourism - Gay was an excellent tour guide. Her bright and bubbly personality was very engaging. Gay was eager to share information about Thailand and ask about our own lifestyles. The scenery was just gorgeous and the whole day ran smoothly. Nature tourism at its best.

Cheow Lan Lake - don’t miss it! - Our day trip to Khao Sok National Park was fantastic. From pick up to drop off, the day was very well organised. Our guide Gay made the day incredibly special. She ensured we all got to know each other a little, took lots of photos, shared information about each destination and answered our questions Cheow Lan Lake is a special place to visit. Make the time to go if you are in the Khao Lak area.

A great day - Our trip with Gay was a real highlight. Everything was superbly organized – from the relaxed and comfortable ride to the careful planning of the entire process. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful views we were able to enjoy on the way. We had enough time to admire the scenery and take many great photos that will remind us of this trip for a long time to come. The atmosphere during the ride was pleasant and stress-free, so we felt completely comfortable. You can see that a lot of emphasis is placed on quality and the well-being of the guests. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we can only recommend – we would travel with Gay again at any time!

Amazing Tour and Guide - The experience from the beginning by email with Toto to the hotel pick up was excellent. Toto’s communication has very quick response times and well written English. Upon pick up our super friendly Guide, Oil and Driver, Bubu (?) made for an exceptionally good day. With only a small group of 5 it almost felt like a private tour. Oil’s local knowledge, warm and caring personality and ensuring you were happy and looked after through the whole day. It was raining when at the Emerald Pool so the experience not the same as all post card photos but I really enjoyed the canoe ride through the stream. The Rajjaprabha Dam view point was spectacular but nothing compared to the breathtaking scenery aboard the boat darting across Cheow Lan Lake. The cave visit was certainly not how imagined, if you went past on a boat you’d miss the entrance. Once inside it was very spectacular but a little dark, perhaps some lighting could be installed for safety like many caves do around the world. Oil gave each of us a torch, this was very useful but perhaps head lamps might be better so that you can use both hands to hold on to rocks when moving about. The floating lodge for lunch was great, food not wonderful but I was hungry so I ate it. Given number of persons there at one time they need more toilets or change rooms if you choose to swim. Oil was a very good photographer and always happy to take a photo of you, as a solo traveller this means a lot. I’ve been to many parts of the world but this day trip was up there with the best. For scenery, service and guide.
