This is a must see Temple just a grand as White Temple and not that far way from each other. They is no entrance fee. It is smaller but just the same you should visit . They is toilets and places to eat. You could easy spend a hour here or more. We hired taxi for the day 2000 baht to take us temple sightsee . We started about 9am and got back about 3pm. No rush . Not like tour groups being there as certain time. And taxi driver took us to hidden gem that only Thais go to, Not advertised on line.
Amazing day. It was really hot the day we went and I forgot to pack an umbrella and sunscreen. That was the biggest regret. The temples are packed and you will never get a picture without people in it so those photos you see online of people in front of the white temple and no one‘s there 100% Photoshopped. We did stop at this rainforest Café. I forgot what it was called and someone in our group had an accident and fell into the waterfall and rocks, so our tour was delayed a bit to take her to the hospital. The tour guide was amazing. I forget her name tho (sorry!). It is a very long day, but the lunch that you have is amazing one of the best meals I had in Thailand. People in our group were rude, and when we were told to meet back at a point at a certain time, they were late, and it turns out that if the tour takes longer than in the description that the tour guide has to pay the driver out of their own pocket to pay for his overtime. I felt bad and suggested she told the same people that were late to charge them, but she would have to pay and finally the third time they were late she said something, and I backed her up.
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!! Guide did not show up and this was the only reason we decided to leave Bangkok area. Lost money on flights, hotels, and other expenses while not being able to book another tour like it. Travel Everywhere Co.,LTD. is the local carrier and they did not answer phone nor emails till after 10am local time which was over two hours after original pickup time. Now on to Viator; you would think that a TripAdvisor company would vet these local operators which obviously is not the case. I have bought many tours and reviewed many places for TripAdvisor but I think those days have come to an end.
