Wat Pho Bang Kla and Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan are worth visiting. The former is known for the huge number of fruit bats living within its compound while the latter is unique in which worshippers bring boiled eggs to there for blessings. But the "Lord Ganasha Temple" is a big big disappointment and more like an amusement park. Special thanks to our guide Cindy and driver Ben for their services.
Good morning we are sorry to know that you did not like Ganesha Temple which is one of the biggest temple in the world. Thanks that you have appreciated our service, we have done our best. Believes and culture is actually belongs to local society and it is always unique- That's the definition of culture so please understand and experience a different believe system and way of life while you are visiting different place. i can still recommend it as one of the best place to visit and experience the same energy of Ganesha at different viberation. regards
I had great expectations for this tour, but it turned out to be a complete and utter disappointment. Our tour guide quickly turned this trip as an opportunity to purchase her personal groceries at the historic market where we were supposed to eat lunch. And while I am aware that being vegetarian might be a little challenging in some countries I did not appreciate being offered meat as my only option for lunch no less than 5 times. In the end no meal was received. After the meal fiasco, we were rushed through the rest of the day, with the hope that we would say that we'd like to skip any of the scheduled attractions booked.
This tour was amazing! Thanks to our guide, we were able to have a very enjoyable trip! Unlike the famous temples, we had the opportunity to visit several local temples, which was very fascinating. I wasn't feeling well at the time and couldn't have lunch, but the guide was considerate enough to give us some coconut milk. The guide's English was also excellent, and she provided various explanations at each tourist attraction. Sorry for the late review, and thank you for the amazing trip! I would love to participate again!
