Temples, bats, and monkeys oh my! - This was a truly incredible experience. We visited multiple temples and then finally the monkey city. The monkeys are very friendly, they like to climb on you and then sit on your shoulder. I suggest emptying your pockets completely because the monkeys will check them and steal whatever they can from you. Overall, this was once in a lifetime opportunity that I highly recommend. Thanks to Piya our awesome tour guide we had a wonderful time!

My family of 7 in Thailand! - Absolutely amazing experience. My family and I loved it. Very informative and educational for all the temples. Our guide, Piya, was amazing. He told us a lot of details before we even left our hotel. Loved all the warning about the monkeys that he gave! Where we went for long was AWESOME if u like Thai food. 10/10 would recommend you do this if u go to Thailand, it was a wonderful experience!

Super recommended visit beautiful experience - The Guide piya really super helpful and great at explaining everything visited. Always willing to take pictures suggesting the most beautiful places to take them. It is advisable not to wear white during the visit as monkeys may soil clothes more easily. Super recommended visit.
