Great experience, chill and fun! - It was a pleasure to spend such a wonderful time close to the nature in the National Park with a great, experienced guide Pinporn- Angie. Angie is full of passion and enthusiasm, she spread the energy and good vibes, awesome sense of humor and music taste makes the journey fun and full of laughs. She is a great photographer as well! Highly recommend!

Indescribable Views - Such an amazing day with great views and a lovely mix of solo travellers. Our guide was so knowledgable and friendly and the drive to and from Bangkok was very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Fun hike through tropic forest - In this tour you will take a hike through the tropic forest alongside bamboo bushes and wooden bridges, see waterfalls and drive through the national park.
Our guide Angie/Pinporn was entertaining, answered all out questions about the local culture and took pretty pictures for us.
Tour needs a minimum of fitness, suitable shoes, water and maybe mosquito spray. Keep in mind that this is a wilderness trail. Street food can be had for lunch from the locals.

Beautiful nature - Beautiful nature and scenery. Saw a lot of monkeys, butterflies and some spiders. We took the hike tour, it was quite long for my 10 year old.
Be careful with the leeches.

Beautiful national park but questionable guide - The tour overall was nice, I liked the Khao Yao and the driver was friendly. However, the tour guide didn’t provide too much interesting information. She took some photos too, and she just wanted to send them afterwards in exchange for a 5star rewiew! That behavior itself is very questionable. I felt so pressured, the „example review“ she send me and that I „could use as an example“ was a pure hymn of praise and was not how I experienced her as a guide. She got very snappish when I said I will do that after my holidays and didn’t send me the photos of me(!!) first. I believe reviews are a feedback and a possibility to improvement. I rely on reviews when I book future tours and I want them to be reliable. She was clearly not interested in getting feedback as a guide, („just good for her career“) and even accused me of treating her badly, which was absolutely not true! Telling me when, what and how many stars I should give is highly unprofessional and adds an unpleasant note to the tour.

Felt rushed - There wasnt much time to relax and absorb the beauty of the park. It felt quite rushed. Also the hike was described as a easy straight path. Which it wasnt. There werre many trees in the way or having to crowl under bamboo. It was a little dangerous. Wish there was more time to just relax and slow down.

Long drive, little scenery, and big price - This is really far out from the center of Bangkok all for very little scenery. There were two waterfalls that were about 30 minutes of walking up/down stairs which were wonderful. However, the hike was long, rushed with little rest and nothing notable to see. The guide was not very informative. I don’t believe this is worth the price.

Bad reviews are true. DO NOT recommend TripGuru! - There is a reason why they have so many bad reviews.
I knew Trip Guru was probably quite crap before i bought the tickets but I was alone and the itinerary, date, and timing was the only one suitable for my schedule. I was hopeful and still very disappointed about the bad reviews being true.
1) The lady i talked to, lied. She hoaxed me into booking this trip by telling me there will be a chance to swim. There was no chance to swim at all as the water is just not suitable and do not swim signs everywhere.
2) First walk to the waterfall was so short and nothing special at all, you literally arrive at the waterfall then you'd have to go back to the car.
3) The car ride from the 1st waterfall to the 2nd waterfall was quite long and boring.
4) Spent more time in the car instead of outdoors. Spent 6-7 hours in the car, only spent a maximum of 3 hours walking.
5)Our guide was Angie and she was trying to cheat time by skipping sites. We were supposed to stop at a beautiful coffee shop but she skipped it because she has decided it is too expensive and we wouldn't need to go there so we could leave the park at 3pm (we were supposed to end at 430/5 pm). I insisted and she took us there reluctantly at the end which was very unprofessional. In the end, the cafe was amazing and the scenery was really nice and we nearly missed that.
6) There were really nice interesting spots on the way and animals to see but she did not give us a single chance to take pictures or take a look.
7)Angie didn't really give us that much background of the park nor the animals in there.
All in all, there is a reason TripGuru gets a lot of bad reviews, if you don't want to spend more time in the car in the traffic than outdoors or in town doing things, DO NOT GO. You will have a way better time just spending at least 1 night in the Khao Yai or the neighborhood around to fully experience country life. It is too far as a day trip, and TripGuru's route does not give you enough exposure of what the park really is like.

Dishonest - Dishonest. Company cut my tour in half, didn’t tell me ahead of time, brought me 2 1/2 hrs out of town and told me on the bus that I can choose to go or turn back, with absolutely no apologies, be careful the tour you choose, they are not all honest
