Then we went for lunch with a amazing food buffet, with lots of Thai food including both spicy and mainly non spicy food. Lastly we visited the famous monkey Temple, where we saw real monkeys up close but they weren't aggressive at all. However ever as our amazing tour coordinator, nikom, warned us to never feed them and…”

“Overcrowded “luxury” cruise – more Ibiza-style floating canteen than sightseeing We booked this James Bond catamaran trip because the description promised a luxurious experience with a beach stop, kayaking and a visit to James Bond Island. After being picked up by a “VIP” taxi, we were dropped at a very run-down waiting area before boarding the shuttle bus to the catamaran, which felt like a poor start to a supposedly luxury trip. In reality, there were around 90 people on board and it felt crowded and noisy the whole day. We had allocated tables with tight bench seating, and in our case we were seated facing backwards, which was another…”
