Traveler Reviews
Very educational We loved it The guide Panom was very good from start to finish The Tattoo was everything I wanted Thankyou
Our guide, TBA, picked us up from our hotel at exactly 6 a.m. After a short coffee stop, we reached the temple in about an hour. He was very kind, explained the process clearly and took great care of us throughout the experience. We could not really choose our designs, but this is also part of the traditional Sak Yant experience. Each tattoo took around 20–25 minutes, and everything went very smoothly, including the monk’s blessing at the end. The temple itself is impressive, very large and overlooking the river. Our only minor disappointment was that we would have appreciated a little more in
All good. Mr Sakka is a nice person. Easy to understand and communicate. The tattoo process is quite fast, and straightforward, not much of a “religious/ ceremonial” experience, is more about just getting the tattoo. Which for me was okay. The temple we went to is nice also, beautiful. but still some parts in building construction phase.
This was a great experience! Our driver was also very good!
it was a fun experience overall. we even had a storaway cat come with us afterwards lol.
Sakka is very helpful and picked me up at 6:00am in the hotel. We stopped in cafe for preparing the Holy Tattoo (sak yant), Sakka gave a lots good suggestions. It was good to arrive the temple Wat Bang Phra at 7:40am so that we can be the first one for the san yant luckily. The sak yant took around 20mins including the blessing from Arjan. And we left at 8:20am, so that we can avoid the traffic, and back to Bangkok hotel at around 10am. It would be appreciated if I can do a bit sightseeing in the temple Wat Bang Phra and spend more time there.
Tour was amazing Guide was pleasant and informative
Amazing experience! The guide was great and took care of everything. The tattoo is awesome! I highly recommend this experience.
10/10 It was a really special expirience. Know that you can do more tattoos if you want on that datey you just have to pay for them there. (One is included)
Smooth and well-organized experience. Communication was easy from the start. Our guide Sakka picked us up right on time at 6:00 AM from our hotel. We had a breakfast break, and he clearly explained the entire schedule. He also showed us pictures and helped us choose the Sak Yant tattoo that suited us best. Very satisfied with the experience and would recommend it
Such a lovely experience! We had to wait for the flower person to arrive so we could buy the flowers and incense for the gift for the Ajarn ahead of time. The master was great and the whole experience felt very relaxing and spiritual. Very happy with it!! The only unfortunate thing was that it is a holy day in Buddhism so the monk didn’t come down to do the additional blessing but understandable!! X
My driver Sakka was incredible, full of knowledge and information. He made this a very memorable experience I won't soon forget.
