Beautiful experience - A beautiful experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Sunsanee is a wonderful teacher and person and my partner and I were lucky enough to have her to ourselves on the morning of our tour. Thank you so much for sharing Buddhism with us - something we can all learn from and take with us. khàawp-khun khâ from Sydney, Australia 🙏🏽

Good experience if you want to know more about budism - This guide is very friendly and available to answer all of your questions. It was a good experience, if you want to know more about budism, history and rituals. I was hoping for an experience more spirituel but there was a lot of people around me in the temple and we moved constantly trying to understand the local environment, but it was perfectly normal, she wants to show the maximum in one hour and a half. And not for me, but for others maybe it was very spiritual, it depends the person of course. I thought it was a bit expensive for the time, but she buys you lots of things to do in the rituals and also it was almost a private experience with few people by your side, in my time there were only 3 of us. That's why I even understand the price.

Authentic Spiritual Experience - Outstanding experience. This was a highlight of our trip to Thailand. We toured many temples in Bangkok but never like this tour. We were lucky enough to happen to witness the celebration of a 20 year old becoming a Monk. Such joy, from the family and friends with music dancing and rituals. It was very moving. After this delightful surprise we continued on with our tour and were able to experience more of the customs and spiritual side of Buddhism. We participated in a prayer service to include being taught how to fold the lotus flower, lighting incense and being blessed be a monk. Each step of the way was explained which gave us insight into the customs and stories connected to the rituals. It was a very authentic spiritual experience.
