5.00We arranged a tour at night right from the airport because we didn’t want to waste a moment. We are glad we made that choice. Pick up was smooth. The driver (not a guide) took us to the countryside where our young guide met us. He showed us the incense workshop first. Since it was night time, there wasn’t much happening, but we made our own incense, and he took a million photos of us. It was fun and funny. From there we went to the hat village where is sister was working. Very interesting. We got to try the handicraft. Very kind people. It was a bit of a drive, but we felt it was a good way to spend our first evening. Otherwise, we just would have hung around our hotel. It lasted from 5-10pm.
Amazing tour!
