4.00Interesting place to visit and our guide tried to explain the significance of the site but we did struggle to understand. This might be helped by written literature. Boat ride and dinner was enjoyable.
Ok day

3.00We enjoyed the boat ride and dinner on the River was good. We had a little trouble understanding our guide so only got a little of the history. Was still a good day but might have chosen a different activity if I had the chance to do over.

3.00Can see why there are mixed reviews. The dance was literally just one girl just randomly doing it on our small boat. It was interesting to watch but a bit awkward. Dinner was decent, was a sort of help yourself type thing from shared plates in the middle of the table. You pay extra for drinks. We missed Wat Chakrawatrachawat. I don’t feel like the tour guide said very much. Overall pretty average tour. Like it’s cheap when considering it in GBP but considering prices you pay here, it seems pricy for what you get

4.00Lucky our tour guide was amazing. We got picked up on time from our hotel and then driven to all the key highlights. Lucky was great at explaining and also great at taking our pictures. She kept pointing out the good spots. The dinner was also great and at a Michelin recommended restaurant. Only reason I gave it a four is one of the reasons we chose this is because it also mentioned Thai dance - however we didn’t see that at all. Everything else was great!
