Great trip! Although there is quite a bit of driving it is definitely worth it to see some beautiful areas of Thailand.

Oil was the perfect host enthusiastic and great fun. A lot of travelling but a full day of activities. Only disappointment was the swim in the lake not very clear and difficult to get on and off the boat

We are a family of four with teens and had a fabulous time. We were tossing up whether to tour to the islands but are thrilled we visited Khao Sok instead. We were in a small group of 8 in total and saw only a handful of other tourists. Our guide was lovely and the sights incredible. Highly recommended.

We had really grat time in Chitwan national park. Our trip guide were really grat person (Named Oilo). She told us lots of interesting information during the whole trip. At first we stoped at the parking with beautiful view on Chitwan valley, then we continued to Emerald Pool, where we were kayaking in the jungle and next swimming in beuatiful natural pool with really clear water. Next part of trip was Cheow Lan Lake, which was really breathtaking. There were so nice landscape. We visited the Bat cave, then we had lunch in floating houses (so delicious). At the end of trip we had time to swimming in lucit water in Chew Lan Lake. I absolutelly recomend this trip!
