The best trip outside of Bangkok to see amazing temples! Our guide Tanya, was so knowledgeable and accommodating, the driver was great! Anything we needed was available- water, cold towel, and everywhere we went, we popped up with a car to pick us up! Best part - sugar plum visits. I am gonna leave it a surprise for you to see for yourself! Don’t miss this.

What a great day - my husband and I were picked up from our hotel in Bangkok by our tour guide Mr Chan. He was a great driver, guide, spoke good English, made sure we had enough water and bathroom stops and went out of his way to make our trip amazing. Chachoengsao is about an hour's drive out of Bangkok, but well worth the visit. We visited a local market, saw some incredible statues and temples, had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, relaxed during a boat ride down the Bang Pakong River and visited the Wat Pho Bang Khla temple and Wat Paknam Jolo temple (golden temple). We really enjoyed the pace of the trip and also visiting an area that was not touristy. Thank you so much Mr Chan.
