The Pranburi Forest Park is known for its vast and dense forests of mangroves and twisty trails that lead visitors to all corners of the park. With its pristine views and natural beauty, Pranburi Park is the perfect escape from some of the urban centers in southern Thailand. The nature reserve is an excellent day excursion from the Hua Hin area. Not only will the tranquil and majestic scenery surround you, but you’ll also get to see an abundant array of flora and wildlife, many of which are exclusive to Thailand. Khao Daeng viewpoint at 157 meters peak accessible by a trail around seven hundred meters from the headquarters. This viewpoint has an impressive 360° view over the surrounding valley and mountains. Long-tailed macaques and birds are common in the area. During June the Viewpoint is closed and we visit Chao Mae Tubtim Thong Shrine a beautiful viewpoint where you can clearly see the Pran Buri River and Pak Nam Pran Village.

          We liked the Artist village the most, lunch was fine as we had it in a local restaurant
          The trip was OK, with good comments from a guide. Artist village was a rasin on a cake. Not many locations have been visited, but also not so many POI are present

          Great experience
          Super experience. We were lucky and saw an elephant. The food was good and a nice addition to the day. I would say that the guides are not that helpful to explain what is going on but more helpful to spot fauna.

          River Kwai
          We travelled to the River Kwai and managed to see a lot of the main sights including the Cemetery , the museum, the Bridge and the death railway however, there is so much to see if we were to do this again we would take in an overnight stay to try and see everything, all said the trip was great fun.

          Great Day out in Petchaburi
          Day trip to the Petchaburi province. 1st stop the Kings Summer palace built in 1860 by King Rama IV. Next visited Tham Khao Luang cave is fully of Buddha images built by King Chulalongkorn the great in 1868 in honour of King Mongkut. Stopped for a very nice Thai buffet style meal including Thai green chicken curry, chicken, chilli & sweet basil, chicken cashew stir fry, sweet & sour chicken, toasted tofu, steam vegetables and rice.accompanied by a couple of large Chang beers. Final stop was Wat Mahathat situated by the Petchaburi River is a mixture of late Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin style with an adaptation of Kymer ancient monastery. Also incorporates a Buddhist ordination hall. All in all a great day out.

          Staff were great! Friendly and informative on the wildlife.
          Seeing elephants in their wild environment was so very great. The staff could explain all the details of the wildlife. Great experience overall.

          Wonderful experience - do not miss!
          Awesome tour and guide. The itinerary was full and perfectly timed. The railroad is a unique experience to say the least! Loads of shopping opportunities aon the river portion of the tour and our guide, Bobby, was truly excellent. Insightful, knowledgeable, funny, and excellent English language skills. The complete package.

          Time spent snorkeling too short,lunch in Koh was great /fantastic staff. Minivan trip needs to include a stop halfway.
          I think the trip was OK. Lunch on the island was very good. I think more time and a couple off different spots should be dedicated to snorkeling The trip to the boat snd back is quite long (21/2 -3 hours each way) I think you should incorporate a stop for breakfast & coffee, use toilets and stretch the legs about halfway.

          Great half day tour
          Picked up at 8.50 and back by 14.15. Great half day trip with 3 stops and lunch. Catered for vegetarian and had bottled water in the mini bus. Temple clothing needed for the kings palace but not the cave or summer palace/5 peaks. Guide was fabulous, gets very hot out at the stops so be prepared!

          A fantastic day out!
          We really enjoyed the whole trip, our guide Am was really interesting and brought the history and culture of Thailand to life. He was very patient with us as the trek up to the cave was hard work but definitely worth it. The boat ride and lunch were perfect too. Would highly recommend.

          Highly interesting, somber and engaging day
          This trip is well worth the time and money. If you are interested in WW2 then this is a must. Note it is 3 hours each way drive...

          Beautiful island, terrible driver of minivan
          We had to meet at hua hin clock tower 0645, despite it said 0700 in the tour guide. The minivan( not bus) was not marked with “koh talu tour” as promised. So we had to ask around. The minivan van was worn and dirty, and the shock absorbers were absent. Then the driver used least 40 min back and forth, stopes and talk to people to find the last to persons. He had no clue were to go. Then the driver began his madman's drive towards the boat. While he was talking in his phone. All the time. I know the driving culture is different here vs Europe but still. He also had to stop and refuel. I have experienced a lot of driving in Thailand. This was by far the worst. Actually we dreaded the return as we thought it was the same driver and car. When we arrived at the boat pier the arrangement was wery good. Also the boat experience and the Island of course. The guide could have done a little more, but he’s english was quite good actually. And the island itself is absolutely worth a visit. We were wery happy when we came back from the island, and there was a new car and driver back to Hua Hin I will recommend the island, not the first tour with minivan. The tour is quite expensive so I think the minivan should be better for a 3 hours tour.

          Nice day without elephants
          Saw one elephant in the distance. Our guide was wonderful as was our driver. It was nice to get out of Hua Hin and see the countryside. Dinner at a roadside restaurant was efficient and tasty. If you expect to see a lot elephants on this tour, you may be disappointed, as they were not roaming about on the day we were there.

          2 crepe places in Hua Hin market!
          This was a good trip, until the last portion The tour guide was knowledgeable, willing to change the order of the sites, etc. I would not recommend taking this, if you are staying further away from the Hua Hun center( I stayed north of the airport), because the tuk tuk isn't very comfortable for longer distances. But the problem I had was the dinner portion. They pay for your meal, but after you get your food, they leave you to eat and tell you to meet them at "the crepe place", which we had visited earlier. Kind of strange but I went to the meeting point and waited 40 minutes only to find out there was ANOTHER crepe place in the next block. So this put a bad taste in my mouth, as I was ready to leave after 4+ hours! The guide never contacted me to see where I was, but I contacted the tour agency and told them I needed to leave now!

        A lovely, well organised day out, we started at 8 in a car with our driver and Noi our guide. He was friendly, intelligent and intelligible ( we have had some guides on tours who’s accent completely obscured their words ) and was happy to chat about all sorts of topics inspired by the places we went to and even just drive by. The Mangrove swamps were so peaceful, and he never hurried us through allowing us time to watch the crabs and other wildlife. The boat ride tour was again peaceful and so beautiful and lunch on beach was superb. Overall a wonderful day out with the perfect guide, and dropped back at our hotel 8 hours later happily exhausted !
