Wat Huay Mongkol temple is actually a complex of temples which is the home of the biggest monk statue in the world – the statue of the famous monk, Luang Phor Tuad. The famous monk, Luang Phor Tuad, was born 400 years ago, at the end of the Ayuthaya period, in Nakhom Si Tamarat, (in south Thailand). Luang Phor Tuad was famous for doing miracles and the Thai people believe his image holds protective powers to keep them from nature disasters and the evil eye. The monk, Luang Phor Tuad, is a holy man admired by many of the Thai people who come to pay him their respect from all over Thailand. Thai people also believe that carrying an amulet of Luang Phor Tuad keeps the evil eye away and brings them good luck. There are some small shops selling these amulets and some other memorabilia at the park.

We were elected promptly from our hotel lobby. The guide 'Amp' was very friendly and informative about the area we were visiting. Constantly pointing out areas of interest. The meal typical Thai, with a great view.
We had a last minute booking and therefore an extra charge, what we didn't know is that we had a private trip for it! The driver/guide told us a lot during the trip and responded to all our questions. Specially made a small tour change so he could show us more Thai agriculture. In detail, but without imposing, he told us about the faith and culture of Buddhism at the temple with Burda monk. The highlight was the breathtaking beautiful waterfalls where we also swam between the carp. At the end there was a delicious Thai meal at a beautiful idyllic restaurant. So don’t hesitate if you’re looking for another last minute trip.
A fully satisfying trip 👍with great experiences, 👍a guide who could really tell about everything and had answers to all questions.
A highly recommended excursion. Very good English speaking guide. Thank you “Creame” for the wonderful day. Have learned a lot and laughed 😄 Always happy to 👍 Von Horst and Simone
Very nice experience with eventually a splash in the cool clear water. After a climb, largely doable, sometimes some scrambling we reached level 4 of the waterfall. Here we fed the fish with black grains of fish food that we bought at the entrance. We swam among the fish towards the waterfall. It is not deep, some pieces of stone are a bit sharp, the water shoes came in handy. On the way up, a huge number of colorful butterflies flew. In short, beautiful! Definitely recommended.
Friendlystaff with great food and fantastic sea views Hotel super relaxing pool with sea view Lovely breakfast Room with terrace sea view Made stay fantastic
My visit to the Pala-U waterfall was nothing short of spectacular. A word of advice for future visitors: come early.
Thank you so much for your review. It's great to hear that you had a wonderful time at the waterfall. We appreciate your booking with us.
Noom was a very patient guide and wonderful children. The jungle walk and falls themselves are beautiful and the swimming was fun. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your great review about the trip to the pala u waterfall. I'm happy to hear that you had a great walk in the jungle and a lot of fun when you and you children was swimming in the waterfall. Thank you for your recommendation and for booking this trip with us
The nature and jungle is impressive, unfortunately our expectations were a bit disappointed as we hoped to see and discover more wildlife on this tour, especially elephants and monkeys! Elephants unfortunately did not show up and monkeys there was only a small school on the side of the road but also only because they were just being fed! In the jungle itself you only saw a lot of butterflies and a few lizards! The food afterwards was great! And our tour guide super nice, friendly and very educated! He spoke German, which is another plus point! Conclusion: all in all I found the tour a little too expensive! Even if the jungle experience was good!
Thank you for your review, even if it was too expensive for you. Unfortunately, it is the case that a private booked guided tour costs more than a group join tour because you only drove alone. In addition, as a registered travel agency, we have to comply with Thai regulations, pay taxes and insurance for all guests during the tour. We also have to pay the minimum wage to the driver and tour guide. Since the tour is designed as a jungle tour, there is of course the possibility to see animals, but this is not a guarantee. The English-speaking tour guide was free of charge to offer you a good private tour and excellent service. Nevertheless, I would like to thank you for your booking.
Trip was worthwhile. Guide was very informative. Took us to a number of cultural sites and then to the scenic hike. The waterfalls were picturesque, but challenging to get into the water with the fish and the slippery rocks. The lunch overlooking the hills was delicious. The drive was picturesque. We saw a whole group of macaque monkeys on the way.
Thank you so much for your review. I'm happy that you have a great trip and that you have a good time. Thank you for booking with us.
