Oum was a great guide! Really knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was great value for money and a great way to see Bangkok. There was plenty of time given at the temple so it didn't feel rushed and also a nice stop off at a local shop along the route to feed some fish. Would reccomlemd!

Interesting boat trip where we got a bit wet and couldn’t always hear our guide. Wat Arun was good with some information that was useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Place สาขาท่าเตียน
The price does not cover earphones, food and beverages and personal expenses. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
