Great day out! - Friendly guides, delicious food, beautiful surroundings! Be aware that this requires a 3 hour drive from Bangkok though, so take along some headphones.

Full day of learning about nature but also history and culture. - Peter was my guide for the day. He knows many things not only about the park and all the animals but also the whole history of Thailand and all about the culture. Did not get to see elephants in the park so he took me out of the way to see them in a preserve where I even got to ride one. Peter is also super prepared and his vehicle and backpack are stocked with many supplies for an emergency. He even has a little sling shot to fend off monkey attacks which can actually be a real thing. I felt very safe with him.

Great excursion! - Great excursion! We were picked up at the hotel in Bangkok. Our guide, Mr. Preecha, was really friendly, humorous, and helpful. It was a long ride to and forth Khao Yai but his stories made the trip easier. The hikes were not strenuous but one of the waterfalls had quite a bit of stairs. Highly recommend if you have some time in Bangkok.

Book this tour! - Mr. Tee was my tour guide and he was awesome! As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how considerate, professional, knowledgeable, and kind he was. He took hundreds of great photos for me from all the amazing sites. When we couldn’t find monkeys on the main monkey trail, he went out of his way to be flexible and took me to three other locations before we finally saw some monkeys! He made sure I was happy and having fun along the way and at every location. He was also very knowledgeable about Thai history, the terrain, flora and fauna, etc. The driver was also amazing. They had ice cold water ready for me after every little hike, a beautiful and traditional Thai lunch prepared halfway through the day, and even cold hand/head towelettes for me to cool down after each hike in the Thai heat! I hope to book a tour again with this company, and definitely would recommend Mr. Tee! The hikes were all very accessible for a wide range of travelers. Built in hiking paths to the waterfalls which was great. I went during the dry season, during wet season the waterfalls are even more powerful and flow more water

Enjoyable learning experience - Our excursion to the Khao Yai waterfalls on 3rd Jan 2022 was very enlightening and enjoyable, all thanks to Peter, our funny and entertaining guide, and Sean, our skilful and reliable driver. Peter shared with us different facets of Thailand, giving us a fresh perspective that we would otherwise not have seen. We also deeply appreciate their thoughtful navigation of the congested highways, giving us a very smooth and comfortable journey on the roads. Thank you Peter and Sean for a memorable outing!

Perfect day trip away from the busy city - First and most importantly, I'm not sure there is a better guide than Peter. He made the journey to Kaho Yai very comfortable and his knowledge and humor were amazing. He is a special person and I am proud to have met him. I took the day trip due to limited time in Thailand but there is plenty to see and do at Khao Yai for many days. Peter made sure I experienced as much as we could in our one day trip. Wildlife, waterfalls, banana cake and spectacular views aplenty. I hope to return some day with more time. Thank you Peter!

Khao Yai National Park with Peter! - My Partner and I went on a private tour with Peter to Khao Yai National park during our trip to Bangkok, Thailand June 2022 and had a wonderful experience. What made our trip memorable was that we had this experience with Peter. He was personable, genuine, caring, prepared, and shared his knowledge of the park and Thailand. It was clear Peter’s goal was to ensure my partner and I had a great experience during the trip. He gave us the space and time to explore the park, answer our questions, and discuss what we were hoping to experience with the trip. We were grateful Peter was our tour guide on this trip. We will request for him in our next private tour in Bangkok, Thailand.
