A great tour

Published on Jan, 2025

It’s a very long day but really interesting. Our tour guide was very informative and we learned a great deal about the Burma/Thailand railway. Our meal at the waterfalls was very enjoyable and swimming in the beautiful pools was lovely.

Excellent experience.

This tour was a great way to get into some of the sad histories of Thailand as well as some beautiful views. Coming from the US and Germany, my partner and I had a pretty limited view about WWII in the Pacific. (It helped that the two of us had just been to Australia and visited the war museum in Canberra, so the Aussie losses in the war were fresh in our minds.) Our tour guide, Preecha, was super knowledgable and did his best to make an enjoyable day out of a brutal story. And, once we said that we enjoy local food and to support local businesses, he made sure we got to try the most important snacks (melon, rice cakes, coconut ice cream, you name it, we had a bite.) The Death Railway is still in use today, with a few trains a day on the weekends. We booked during the week so we missed this, but it was still so interesting to walk along the bridge. The waterfall was an excellent palate cleanser between the two other activities; the water is even more gorgeous than in the pictures, and it is one of the few waterfalls where you are allowed to swim if you desire! we didn't do more than stick our feet in to say hello to the carp that live there. We hiked up a few extra levels instead. We had an awesome time there. The final stop was to see the Hellfire Pass, which included a walk through an information centre with first hand accounts in video of the POW experience for Aussie captives. We had a short walk to the memorial on site after that, and the knowledge that we were walking through what had once been solid rock was harrowing, to say the least... especially considering January is the dry, cold season in Thailand, and at 32° C, my partner and I worked up a heck of a sweat just walking. All in all we had a very good time, and I could not recommend this tour enough if you are interested in this part of Thailand's history.

Must do tour with incredible views

Incredible tour with the most beautiful views. Our tour guide and driver were super accommodating and our guide was great! The van was very luxurious with reclining seats.

Great tour

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a really great tour. We wanted to get out of Bangkok and do something different. It's about a 3 hour drive each direction so bring something to do on the drive. The roads are very bumpy so I wouldn't recommend trying to read. The first couple of stops were about the Death Railway. It is pretty depressing, but an important piece of history. We stopped for lunch at 1430- so bring snacks, because it's a long time between departure and lunch. The lunch was phenomenal and so much better than expected. The waterfalls were a nice spot, but unfortunately we got there a little late and they would not let us go past level 5. We had just enough time to take a quick swim before they closed. The guide was great and made sure everyone was comfortable and had adequate restroom breaks. It was a very long day- 0645 departure and we arrived back at our hotel in Bangkok at 2000.

Incredible

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour guide, Ying was absolutely incredible. She genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience and get as much done as possible, even allowing us to eat lunch on the move so we had time to make it to the top layer of Erawan (which was beautiful and well worth it). Her knowledge was second to none and you can tell she has a genuine passion for her work. If you book this tour and get Ying you are in for a treat!
