2.00The company itself and the guide where okey, but the rest was just not what we expected. You get to the village and it feels like you (as the tourist) are at some attraction park, but you are just watching how poor these people are. We where there in wet season so it was less crowded. There where a lot of tourist boats floating by houses where litteral people live. We where feeling so bad and the rest of the group felt the same. You can pay extra for a small boat trough the mangroves (just trees). You are just a few meters from the bigger boats, so why?? I guess to support the locals? There also where some crocodilles in a cage, that is more often the case in Asian country’s. Here they also sell baby’s and heads of dead ones. Overall, please don’t go here. You will not like it!!
Flooded Forest tour is worth it

5.00Mr. Ry was very knowledgeable and added a good personal touch with his humour. Also took the mangrove forest boat tour (~5,50$), definitely worth it. I absolutely recommend booking the tour.

5.00Excellent tour with John and Tea. John was funny and very knowledgeable. The tour covered so many activities and the timing was well planned out. John told us all what to expect at each stop. The floating village was fascinating from the water as well as exploring on foot. We visited a classroom in the village and chatted with the children, plus took a tour of the area where the monks were training. This was followed by an optional canoe ride through the mangroves for $5 which was well worth it. The sunset on the lake with a beer topped off a great day.
Awesome experience! He...

2.00We did a half day tour , just too kill time waiting for the plane . I would imagine that this tour is value for money in high season ( October to March) when the mangoves and villages etc are surrounded by high water but in June it's just a village on stilts and a lake and nothing else.
