A blissful morning experience - It was a great experience. I really enjoyed every moment of it. She is well spoken and I loved how she talks with passion of the culture and religion. She provided everything for the ceremony and at the end she was so thoughtful that we got even snacks. The ceremony and rituals were well explained with simplicity. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you, it was wonderful!

Best Authentic Experience - I would highly recommend booking this experience! Sunsansee was such a great guide, her english was excellent and she shared her knowledge on the temples and religion. She was able to answer any questions we had with detail. There were no other tourists at the temple at the time we were there and the experience made us feel more like locals than your typical tourist. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that has an interest in learning about other religions and wants to step outside of the typical tourist style activities.

Excellent your full of history, information and inclusion - This was such a lovely day to start our day. The tour is very early so you can a. Beat the heat. B. Beat the crowds and C. Take part in a morning buddest ceremony. Our guide Sundanese was brilliant. She gave us so much history about Buddhism and thai rituals and we even had the honour of being a part of the morning ceremony. We got to fold our own lotus flowers, offer food to the monk, take part in a release ceremony and much much more. All of us (ages 44,43,15 and 11) found it very interesting and special. Certainly recommend a visit to this beautiful place with a tour from such a lovely lady

Excellent . Avoid the tourists and book with Sunsanee - Sunsanee was really sweet. She offered a relaxed, respectful and authentic observation of Thai/Buddhist/Hindu rituals and traditions. From start to finish the whole family were engaged and my children 11 & 15 really enjoyed the morning experience.

Perfect start to the day - Such a lovely way to start the day. Perfect blend of Thai history, education about Buddhism and an opportunity to personally engage with someone willing to share their own experiences. Highly recommended

An absolute must-do, especially for Westerners looking to learn more about Buddhism. Stunningly beautiful temples. - A beautifully serene and peaceful educational experience. I shed tears as I listened and participated in her “tour”. The early start makes this visit so perfect because you beat the heat and you avoid the throngs of tourists arriving as many many tour busses show up just as you’re leaving. I feel so fortunate that the monks allow us to quietly invade their space for this experience.
