“Niranya and her friend where very good guides and the tour was absolutely worth it for 40€”
From Bangkok to Khao Yai National Park for a full day of forest trekking and waterfall stops, with park ticket included and small groups.
“The guide was very informative and pleasant. I’m sorry I don’t remember his name. The trip exhausted this 60yo woman, but I kept up and just slept in the van going back to Bangkok. Unfortunately the waterfalls were down to less than a trickle. This would’ve influenced my decision had I known, but it was nice anyway.”
Private 2-day Bangkok to River Kwai floatel stay plus Erawan Waterfalls. Damnoen Saduak floating market, bridge, museums, swimming.
“The guide Klint was exceptional. The floating hotel was an experience but dont expect any luxury. Erawan falls were beautiful!”
One-day Khao Yai jungle trek from Bangkok with an English guide, Thai lunch, key viewpoints, and Haew Su Wat waterfall.
“The park is about 3 hrs drive from Bangkok, so you will spend a significant amount of time in a van, however when you get there you will recognize it was worth it! I was lucky enough to be alone in my group, so I could spend lots of time talking to the guides, they also let us go slightly off track from time to time to be able to spot some gibbons. Amazing day!”

Full-day Khao Yai from Bangkok in a small group: hikes, waterfalls, ranger guide, wildlife chances, and park fees included.
“This is really far out from the center of Bangkok all for very little scenery. There were two waterfalls that were about 30 minutes of walking up/down stairs which were wonderful. However, the hike was long, rushed with little rest and nothing notable to see. The guide was not very informative. I don’t believe this is worth the price.”

Private Khao Yai day trip from Bangkok with customizable waterfalls, wildlife viewpoints, and a guide option, GSTC low-impact travel.
“Les excursions faites via GetYourGuide ont toujours été splendides et enrichissantes jusqu'à maintenant. Or aujourd'hui, l'excursion fut très décevante, nous en avons été bien étonnés. Nous avions pris l'option d'une visite dans le parc, personnalisable et avec un guide anglophone, mais nous n'avons eu rien de cela. Aucun guide, aucunes explications sur le parc. Le chauffeur bien que ponctuel ne parlait pas un mot d'anglais, nous a déposés voir seulement deux cascades et un point de vue que nous n'avons même pas pu choisir. Nous sommes restés à peine 3h dans le parc et avons dû payer l'entrée du chauffeur et de sa voiture en plus des nôtres.”
