A great tour. The temples are beautiful, but the tour guide, Katoon, took it from good to truly great. A former monk, his perspective was fascinating. I cannot recommend him strongly enough - smart, thoughtful and engaging.

Katoon spoke good English, was courteous and kind, and explained in detail what we were hoping for—a more detailed understanding of the origins and precepts of Buddhism, the background to the temples, and a better understanding of what we were witnessing. He was really helpful and we thoroughly appreciated the tour.

This was wonderful. Cartoon (sp) was so informative and devoted about sharing the Buddha’s ways. Wonderful advice for any human. First day in Thailand. A little overwhelmed about what to do for first day. This was a perfect introduction.
