Bad world event
Worth doing to get the true understanding that people went thru

A Fabulous afternoons trip.
We were taken by our lovely guide Gay first to the Tsunami Museum which was my favourite part of the trip. Onto a Temple and finally to a Sunday Street Market to sample their wares. A great way to spend 4 hours.

Amazing Tour with an Excellent Guide!
Wonderful Tour with an Energetic and Knowledgeable Guide! We had a fantastic tour guided by Gay, a very energetic and engaging guide. She truly knows what she’s talking about and shares her insights from a personal perspective, which makes the experience even more authentic. She creates a great group dynamic and makes sure every participant feels involved. At the old market, we got to taste various local products, each time accompanied by clear and interesting explanations. During the temple visit, she provided excellent and insightful commentary. We were picked up right on time in a luxurious minibus and were well taken care of with drinks and refreshing towels throughout the tour. The booking process was smooth, and communication with Khaolak Planner was excellent. Everyone in our group agreed: this was a truly special experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing!
The tour was fantastic! First of all, the communication was excellent and we received a warm welcome. The guide (Gay) was very enthusiastic and could tell us everything, making her a real asset to the tour. Besides providing information about the three locations, she was also very informative and created a great atmosphere. The market was also fantastic. It wasn't a touristy market with just the same old magnet shops and jars, but a truly traditional market with a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour!

This was one of my...
This was one of my favourite tours so far, while I have been in Thailand. Our tour guide, Ms Chin was absolutely wonderful. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The Tsunami memorial was really informative and the staff once again, really helpful. The Sunday Market was brilliant. So much to see and eat and it was do cheap! The visit to the beautiful Buddist Temple made for a really serene experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough.
