the pick up time was 6 am. I called at 6:10am bc the driver did not come , the tour provider said the car broke down, they found a replacement car, the driver will arrive in 20 minutes, the driver actually arrived at 6:45am, the driver explained that he went to 2 wrong hotels, that’s why he was late. The driver claimed that he needed take a picture that has me and my friend in front of Marriott to report to his company the time he picked up his customers. We did not consent to this. The driver also took a picture that shows my friend and I been dropped off at the pier; after the tour ends, the driver dropped us off back to Marriott, he insisted that his company required him to take a picture to Show us been dropped off back to the hotel , he took a picture of us again ( with Marriott in the background). Does the driver just made up the story that his company asked him To present evidence when he picks up/ drop off customers? I believe this is not legal to take pictures of the customers without their consent . The tour company needs to explain this. We did not return to hotel till AlmosT 8:20pm, when I booked the tour, the tour operator did not clearly specify how long will the tour be.

Still beautiful in the rain

Fabulous tour. Very well organised and Oh our guide was excellent. Despite the weather not being the best, we still very much enjoyed the beautiful scenery and in fact the kayaking seemed quite magical with the raindrops on the lake and the mist in the hills.

10/10 would recommend

This is a must see in Thailand, one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life and the tour guide was amazing! Kao had so much knowledge about Khao Sok and the jungle and kept us so entertained. We stayed in the area an hour longer and didn’t feel rushed at all. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and that makes the beautiful scenery even more enjoyable. Thank you so much!
