Possibly the best beach on the island. Very wide, long, nice sand, with waves. There are rocks out in the water though, I saw one poor lady had cut her foot on the rocks.

July 11, low season. Windy day, sea a little rough yet about 10 divers/ snorklers can be spotted frm shore. Conditions too dangerous for me. North end of bay has smaller waves.

Kantiang Bay is definitely a hidden gem on the island. It is quite secluded and unfortunately no direct sunset view, but the sceneries are beautiful! There are a few famous bars here to relax. Good to have a stroll, especially at sunset time!

Excellent choice if you're looking to get away from the crowds. Absolutely stunning beach, just huge - with amazing soft sand. Unfortunately as with many beaches these days it falls victim to the amount of pollution we have the world over and does get a lot of washed up debris plastic. You will need your own transport - we hired a 250cc which managed fine but you might struggle on a small scooter. Couple of places down here to eat and stay. We stayed at the Bamboo Bay Resort which sounds a lot posher than it is! very happy with everything there, food was great, the rooms were good compared to Thai standards. Its all set on the side of a hill so involves a bit of uphill walking. Would definitely go back.

Crystal clear waters on an immaculately clean beach welcomes the visitor. Seems to be a popular place to moor yaughts and shuttle boats from the 5 star resorts transport there customers to and from the bay.

So so. The beach is very wide and have several river mouths, and they are pouring out on the beach with wastewater and trash. Another bad thing in my opinion is that there are NO single tree on thee whole beach where you can hide in the shade. You need to buy a parasol or rent one and a sunbed if you want to hide the sun. Otherwise a really nice bay.

Beautiful and well kept. The locals are amazing and so kind. Please take care of the amazing people who live here and cater to the tourists everyday with a smile. Thank you for having me 🙏

The 360° Viewpoint at Koh Hong offers impressive panoramic views once you reach the top — the surrounding islands, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliffs are a photographer’s dream. That said, the climb is quite steep and involves a lot of stairs — definitely not for everyone, especially in the heat. There’s no shade along the way, and the steps can be slippery if it’s rained, so proper footwear is a must. While the view is rewarding, the effort required might not feel entirely worth it for some, especially when the island below already offers plenty of scenic spots. A decent experience overall, but manage your expectations and come prepared.

A short 15-minute climb takes you to the top, where you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view — absolutely worth the effort. It’s also home to the only clean beach in the area that’s truly suitable for swimming and playing. A perfect spot for both a light adventure and a relaxing beach day!

Gorgeous views to the Andaman See. The stairs are quite steep but if you climbed already to the Tiger Cave, to reach this viewpoint won’t be difficult.

It's a hard, sweaty climb. You need good functional knees and a lot of sunscreen. Drink water and take it slow. At least the stairs are modern and equal. The view is fantastic! It takes about 20-25 minutes at a moderate pace to reach the top. After you go down, i recommend the nearby beach

Best Place to visit and have photo shoot. Our travel guide was See Sea Andaman Travel and had a great experience with them.

Absolute beautiful spot. A great reward after climbing almost 500 step ladder. Take a deep breath and enjoy a beautiful panoramic

Beautiful view and good way to get some exercise and sweat alot.

✨ Phra Nang Cave Shrine – Where the sea meets the spirit 🌊 Hidden at the edge of Railay Beach in Krabi, this sacred cave tells a story older than time. Locals believe it’s home to Phra Nang, the princess goddess who protects fishermen and grants blessings to those who visit with faith. Colorful offerings, wooden carvings, and the sound of waves create a magical calm inside the limestone cliffs. 🪷 Every corner feels alive with legends and prayers carried by the sea breeze. Here, nature and belief blend into something truly peaceful — a reminder that beauty isn’t just seen, it’s felt. 💫

Kayaked here from railay beach, in about 20mins! Beautiful and secluded, blazed a huge J under some beautifully positioned palm trees etc for some well needed shade. The water was beautiful, clear and warm and definitely worth the kayak trip to this beach! Also possible to explore both the caves at either end of this beach so well worth spending a day here if coming from Ao Nang.

It takes 40 minutes to walk from Railway beach. It is much nicer than Railway beach. Along the way, you get to see some interesting rock formations and there is a rope you can climb (need appropriate footwear, as it is muddy and slippery) but there is a nice viewpoint and a lagoon at the top. Once you arrive at the beach, you can see monkeys and some lizards. People rock climb there too which is interesting to watch

Beautiful beach accessible from Railay East. Caves , rock wall climbing and chilling on Beautiful Phra Nang beach are key attractions. Go early or face massive crowds when securing a spot on the beach. No restrooms Handicap possible. Final take ..RECOMMENDED BUT AGAIN GO EARLY.

Awesome beach. Beautiful fine sand and lovely water. Sheltered in a bay so no big waves really to be concerned about and a great place to either sunbathe or swim. Sunsets are beautiful. Well worth the visit.

Tucked beneath the cliffs of Phra Nang Beach, Krabi, lies one of Thailand’s most mysterious and sacred spots — the Phra Nang Cave Shrine, also known as Princess Cave. Legend says an Indian princess was once shipwrecked here, her spirit now guarding the cave and granting blessings to those who come with faith. Inside, you’ll find hundreds of wooden lingams — offerings symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and safe voyages. The mix of ancient belief, sea breeze, and divine mystery gives this cave an energy you can feel in your bones. 🌊✨ #PhraNangCave #PrincessCave #KrabiThailand #ThaiMythology #SpiritualThailand #FertilityShrine #WondersOfThailand #TravelLegends #KrabiDiaries #ThailandCulture

A quiet beach of your own with few tourists making it a can’t-miss spot in Krabi. This pristine beach stretches afar from famous Pranang Spirit Cave till the end of the beach with high limestone cliffs. Beautiful Soft sand and clear sea water with multicolor green to blue sea will make your day the most relaxing one. Be sure to spend a lot of time lingering leisurely. During low tide you can simply walk to Happy Island just across the shore.

We booked a ferry from Krabi to Railey Beach. There is a little booth near the docks that sell the tickets and tell you the hours that the ferries run. Once a wooden dragon boat is full it heads out. The boat ride was awesome. Open air and smooth. It was one of my favorite parts island hopping during our trip. When we arrived we wondered until we found a hotel that served breakfast. There was a reasonably priced buffet and we ate there. We spent a few hours at the beach, swimming and enjoying the sun. We saw the rain coming and decided to head to bar and grab a drink. Overall it was a great day, and I highly recommend.

We took long tail boat from Ao Nang at 8:30. We were there before 8:00 but if a group came, they had priority. It was a bit chaotic how the boatmen were organizing the boats. After 30 min we could board. It took 15min and cost 100bhat per person. We were 12 on the boat. When coming back there was 1 more couple waiting. Each of us paid 200 baht and we could go immediately back. West Railay beach is nice with stunning views. Inside the “village” it’s already a bit messy. To go there for 1-day trip ok but I wouldn’t stay there for longer. For cat lovers just check the pictures 😻

Really gorgeous beaches, yummy food, wildlife, and almost everything you need. Cool hippie vibes by the west side. I enjoyed the place and was only there for a few hours. Would love to come back and stay on this side of Krabi for a few days.

Beautiful spot. The swim area towards the cliff has a quite rocky bottom and is shallow at low tide. Further towards the boats the bottom has far more sand and is a nicer walk out to swim.

Railay beach is so beautiful. Especially during the sunset days. They have beautiful long tail boats and the scenery looks wonderful. You can get the long tail boats from Ao Nang to Railay Beach at 200 return. Last boat is at 6.30 PM. Get a boat so you will catch the sunset.

Gorgeous beach but recommend carrying beach shoes to avoid getting hit by rocks especially when going for a swim. The water is nice and warm and sandy patches are good on the beach.

The beach is really relaxing with magnificent views. Has lots of stuff to do, do not stay there for 1 day, stay for more. There is so much to do and see. The first priority place that I'll recommend to you if you will go to Krabi. You can only get there by boat. Its a piece of land surrounded by mountains and cliffs. You will need to pay if hotel doesn't provide a free boat to your destination.

Lovely 😍 The beach is great to walk, or sit and relax. It's clean thanks to the Trash Hero volunteers! Quite active with the little tour and fishing boats! Great views 👍

Well the place gets busy by the night and graceful by the morning but always has a vibe there’s always a good view of islands but sometimes due to high tide you have to skip beach days.

Ao Nang Beach is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The water is calm, the sand is clean, and the views make it even more stunning. I loved walking along the beach, especially during sunset — the sky looks magical. The area is also very convenient with lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. Local people are friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. A perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the true beauty of Krabi. Highly recommended!

The town is quite peaceful. The beach is located across the town drive. Clean stretch of beach with beautiful shell and the beach is landmark. Loved the location and the scenic beauty. My personal advise is to stay in a hotel closer to beach and night market. You are always in the heart of all activities.

Lots of tourists and touristy stalls; the beach itself wasn’t very nice. The Monkey Trail was good, though, and the sunset view from the beach was nice. Ideal for a one-hour visit during sunset, but nothing more.

Super clean Beach. Minimal tourist at morning time. The road near the beach offers variety of shopping at reasonable prices. The prices are better than Ao Nang night Market. Best time to visit is before 8 am . Amazing views at the beach.

Ao Nang Beach in Krabi offers an absolutely fantastic experience that makes it a must-visit location. It truly is a beach for all hours, combining stunning daytime relaxation with vibrant evening excitement. ​During the day, the beach is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the clear waters. The conditions are excellent for swimming, offering a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. ​As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms into something magical. I highly recommend taking a long night walk along the sand, where the air is relaxed and the view is spectacular. The highlight of the evening is definitely the mesmerizing fire show performances that light up the beach—it’s a great way to truly feel the vibrant Thai atmosphere. ​Beyond the beach itself, the proximity to the bustling night market is a major draw. You can easily transition from the beach to enjoying delicious street food and browsing local goods. ​Overall, Ao Nang Beach provides a great, comprehensive experience, and spending time here, day or night, is highly recommended.

Spacious parking and toilet available at the entrance. Entry costs 50 TBT per person. The temple looks amazing, those colours, symmetries, fascinating. The stairs are tough, 309 meters up in 600 meters, very steep with tall stairs. There is toilet along the way as well. The view from the top is amazing, definitely worth the effort. There is free water waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs, courtesy of the temple.

Keep in mind that the sun goes down by 6:15pm. We got to the bottom at 6:30pm and they had locked it. Even though there were still people up top. It’s not impossible to jump over the side fence, but if you are going to take awhile to get down because of your fitness level, consider that you will have to jump the fence a bit if you’re locked in. Worth the steps. My husband and I did it in 16-17 mins. We are both fit and were still breathing hard. It’s only hard because the steps are steep and some are taller than others. We went on a rainy day too so the heat didn’t ruin it. Beautiful view, very peaceful. Went on a Wednesday in October We saw a lot of water bottles left around at the top and we dumped them and recycled them. There is a bucket for them. Please don’t be those people that bring garbage and leave garbage up there. There were no staff when we were up top.

Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) Review: Great View After a Hard Climb ​Wat Tham Suea is a temple visit where you must climb a mountain. To get to the top, you walk up 1,260 stairs (309 meters). ​The stairs are not all the same. Some parts are easy, some are medium, and some parts are very hard and steep. It is a real challenge for your legs! ​But when you finish the climb and reach the top, it is truly worth it. You will see a very large, beautiful golden Buddha statue. The view of the green jungle and big rock mountains (KRABI) is amazing. This feeling of seeing the idol and the beautiful scene makes the hard climb worthwhile.

The trek has very steep steps all the way to the top, so I wouldn’t recommend it for elders or young kids. There are over 1200 steps, and completing the climb and returning can be challenging if you’re on a tight schedule of a tour package. However, we managed to finish the round trip in about 1.5 hours. Overall, a rewarding experience but definitely demanding—plan accordingly!

It’s an amazing place located at the top of a mountain. You need to climb over 1,260 steps to reach it . quite tough, but definitely worth it for the experience. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Krabi mountains. It’s highly recommended for those who love peace, nature, and spiritual vibes. The temple provides free drinking water. So, carry a bottle with you . you can refill it before and after the climb. It’s a must-visit spot, not far from the Krabi bus terminal.

The views from the top are fantastic! That is, if you can reach the very top of the observation deck with the large Buddha statue. You'll have to climb 1,256 steps. If you're not in good shape, the climb will be very challenging. At times, the steps are very steep, almost vertical, and the height can reach up to 40 cm. But if you can climb all 1,256 steps, the stunning views will be worth it! The descent is also challenging!

Views are amazing at the top, even in wet weather. The stairs are no joke though, so wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Took us about 30 mins to get to the top. The temple at the bottom is quite impressive as well.

Great walk. Please note its 400baht no atm etc nearby so you need take cash. The walk is great this is my second time here. The pool where you can swim does get very busy so i highly recomend leaving very early they say it opens from 10 but when we got there there were already heaps of people walking back i would say try and get there around 9am min. Also do the full walk past the swimming area to the blue pool its a great walk and worth the visit since while your there. No many people do it so its relaxing and only takes 15min enjoy

A place for nature lovers. A little bit far from Krabi but good to go there. You walk about 1 km from the entrance to emerald pool and you can walk more to the blue pool. Everything is beautiful. You feel the jungle. Its worth the effort.

We got there 10 minutes before opening (which is at 8:30) but they let us in anyway. There are 2 routes to the emerald pool, one scenic through the swamp (1000m) and one following the road (800m). We had the pool for almost ourselves for about 20 min, then it got busy real quick. The rocks are extremely slippery but the water is very pleasant. Blue pool opens later and it is another few hundred meters walk to get there.

So pretty, you have the choice of taking a nature walk to see all three pool or to take a straight road to the emerald pool, the nature path is 1km and the straight path is 800m, I personally reccomend taking the nature path and taking your time, the walk itself is beautiful and you get to see all the pools before having a nice swim in the emerald pool. It's also close to the hot springs that you can enjoy on your day trip

What a magical place it is! The water was super beautiful! You just can’t take your eyes off it. Emerald pool and blue pool both are amazing! And it’s a must to go in the pool . It’s an whole experience

My friend and I had an amazing experience at the Emerald Pool in Krabi. The nature trails offered beautiful scenery, and the reward was a refreshing swim in the truly crystal clear, vibrant water. It’s a stunning natural wonder that you absolutely must see! ​We booked our seamless one-day trip through Klook and highly recommend it for an easy excursion.

This place is pure paradise. The water is a stunning emerald green and crystal clear, and there's a unique hot waterfall that cascades into a natural pool. The walk to get there is just as amazing, taking you along a comfortable path through a lush, vibrant green jungle. It's a breathtaking and memorable experience that I highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend a day trip to this park, with its huge lake, when you are visiting the Khao Lok area. We had a guided day tour (which I would recommend to see everything) and it was a memorable and enjoyable trip. We stopped at the Three Sisters limestone formations for some photos, and cruised around the lake. We stopped at one of the numerous and unique floating hotels here for lunch, and did some swimming and kayaking. Definitely add it to your list of “must dos” when you are visiting Khao Lok.

One of the highlights of our stay in the area, definitely worth booking a trip to see Khao Sok and Cheow Lan Lake. Fantastic scenery! It’s easy to book a private longtail boat on GetYourGuide. We had a hire car and drove to the park from Khao Lak.

Definitely a must-visit when in Thailand! 🇹🇭✅ My husband and I rented a private boat for 3 hours, including a swimming stop for an hour, and we truly enjoyed the trip. The beauty of Mother Nature gave us goosebumps — absolutely breathtaking! 😍✨

Khao Sok National Park is an absolutely stunning place — one of the most beautiful natural spots in Thailand. The scenery is breathtaking, with dramatic limestone cliffs, lush jungle, and a peaceful lake. There are plenty of activities like canoeing, hiking, and boat tours that let you truly enjoy the nature. Everything feels calm and magical. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature and adventure!

I would definitely recommend doing a 2 day 1 night tour as you get to see loads of the national parks sights and you get to wake up on the lake which in my case was spectacular. However be prepared for very basic overnight conditions but it made no difference to us.

A beautiful park, I'd definitely recommend visiting if you're in Khao Sok!! Although everyone speaks about the lake tours as if this is the only activity in Khao Sok, we found this amazing park full of beautiful scenery of many types - a wild jungle, divine waterfalls & stunning rivers. Entrance fee is 200 baht per person, and you can either enter on your own and walk until a limited point (about 6km back & forth) or you can take a guide and walk further. If you do decide to take a guide, make sure to book them in advance. We decided to walk on our own, so we have more privacy, and it took us about 3 hours long, including some stops on the way, and dipping in the amazing Wing Hin waterfall. To conclude, if you're looking for a more unique and custom made experience in Khao Sok, this is definitely a most visit.

While I loved the park and everything about it, I'd like to bring to attention this boatman guy/ guide, and request all to avoid him to have a stress free trip. This guy speaks no English, and if he does, refuses to talk- as a guide, that is one of the major things one should do. He smoked weed/ some narcotic, made us pay for kayaking (which we had already paid for to our tour operator) - since it was only a 100Baht per person, the three of us who had booked the boat privately paid again because this guy refused to communicate. At the caves, he walked on at his own pace, shining the light randomly, and made to exit within 5 minutes. Thankfully we latched onto another group who had an English speaking guide to make sense of the wonders of the cave. We managed to click a whipping scorpion and a cricket with that group- a stark difference. After leaving the cave, he stopped in the middle of the water to light another joint, at which point we thought it a good idea to fly our professional camera drone for some photography. As soon as our drone gained some height, the boatman moved the boat forward, when we shouted at him with sign language to stop the boat. While landing the drone, since the boat had moved, the drone fell into the water, just short distance from where the boatman sat. Had he not been stoned enough, he could have moved his hand and caught the drone. The drone fell into the water, the boatman looked at the drone, looked at us, and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, your problem. The complain I wish to raise, is that this guy was so stoned, that if a human would have fallen off, he would simply have let the person drown, despite wearing a life jacket and knowing how to swim. Since we had to leave to catch our connecting flight from Phuket to Chiang Mai, we didn't have time to officially complain. In case anyone reads this, please ensure to avoid this guide. For your own well being.

We have been here with a guided tour in 3 small islands and 1 snorkeling spot and has been an amazing experience! The National Marine Park is pristine and you can visit from beautiful beaches to a breathtaking view points. We have managed to enjoy some relaxing time and to prove our self on really tough trails to reach the viewing points,but has been worth it! We have been so lucky to find monkeys with babies during one of thr trail and to see some huge and colored fishes in the snorkeling point. The emerald lagoon is amazing aswell! If you are here around you cannot miss this.

Amazing national park and must see when in the south of Thailand. Gorgeous views, clear water, many nice activities and many animals! Including cute monkeys. Do watch out that they don't take your stuff.

Absolutely stunning marine park with turquoise water, limestone islands, and breathtaking viewpoints. The scenery is incredible, both from the boat and from the hilltop trails. Snorkeling and kayaking are great ways to explore the area. Well organized tours and respectful handling of nature. A must-visit when staying around Koh Samui or Koh Phangan.

The view was absolutely breathtaking, a solid 10/10. But happy cardio to climb in 500 M. 🤪 I’m so grateful to have had the chance to experience such beauty in my lifetime. It really highlights how important it is to have a climbing partner who can encourage you along the way. 💗

Wide variety of activities to do from hiking to scenic viewpoints, swimming, snorkeling, hanging out at the beach, and watching wild life. Had a good experience traveling to this island from Koh samui via Grand Sea discovery.

Wonderful trip, we got everything we needed, they took great care of us, Mr. Thai was very funny and kind, and his jokes made the whole day even better. The hike to the viewpoint took 20–40 minutes depending on experience and fitness level. A must-do is kayaking (if you don’t go kayaking, you’ll end up waiting on a crowded beach). We booked it through GetYourGuide.

My honest review would be that I was not expecting this tour to be as exhausting as it was. I appreciate the operator and the tour guides, and the views are nice. However, the travel time from the pier to the first island is quite long, which already drains my energy. Then, the nature trail to the viewpoint is another exhausting one. The tour guides can mention in advance that if they are interested, they can hike. I cannot recommend this tour to those who are weak in endurance. Plus, I think the trail is not just 500 meters long. So, I decided to go down after the next stop. There is less time at the beach to explore and swim. The lunch provided is so-so. The kayaking was also too much with the distance. It was quite exhausting, and we were not informed that it would be very far, plus the waves were strong. If you can find another island tour aside from this, I recommend choosing that instead.

I went to the beach to snorkel. The fish are amazing here. I swam with all sorts including reef sharks. Only downside is the sand/grit on the beach is full of rubbish and cigarette butts. For the love of God get one of those machines that siphons the rubbish out. Walking down the beach was horrible.

We were only at the restaurant, being one of then only two choices in that beach. We got terrible sixk after drinking two fruit shakes there. Not sure if the place is so remote they dont get easy access to clean water/ice but we end up in hospital with IV medicine and antibiotics for a week. Can happen anywhere but maybe they can improve their sanitary standards.

I love this stay so much. Been here twice in a row. The rooms and the view are breathtaking. I love the balcony so much. 10/10 would recommend.

I honestly didn’t want to give only 3 stars but the lack of air con spoilt it for me. The room was pretty basic which is okay and it suited me fine. I booked as the sea view balcony over looking the bay sold it to me and as a consequence missed the lack of air con which was my own fault. I was also stitched up by booking.com by paying over the odds. Not a fact, just my gut feeling. Like a lot of Koh Tao, the access roads to places are very steep so if you are new to scooters, please take it easy. After 8 days I got to know the road/track very well and was comfortable with it, even at night. I did a 5 day diving course so didn’t have any time at the restaurant/beach area. It did look lovely and inviting but the restaurant closed at 18:00. The owner said it was because everyone left the complex to go into town which is a real shame for them as it would be such a lovely place to eat. I hope this changes for the owners and people come to dine there as well as the accommodation because it would be a stunning place to eat. Installing air con would have made a huge difference to my star rating and I really am sorry to only give you 3 stars as all the staff were so lovely too.

Only stayed at the restaurant, but loved the dish called ‘no name’. Make sure to order it with seafood!

Best place to swim in snorkel in the island. Cafe is quite cool 🙏🥰

Booked this place on the basis the snorkelling & diving were great however the weather for the whole Five days was nothing I’ve ever seen rain rain and more rain. Nobodies fault, we did note some of the other reviews and didn’t expect a five star however this place is so rundown and in need of some serious TLC. We were getting bitten so muck from what we thought was mosquitoes it was getting rediculous having taken so many precautions and having the net over the bed. Then the bits started to fester and realised they weren’t mosquitoes but either bed bugs or bed flees. We told the women in charge who we assumed was the owner and she acted like nothing had happened ?she did say it happened 3 years ago and they changed the bed ??? Not even an apology. The road out and in of the resort is dangerous with no lights at night so be prepaired and take a touch if you stay there. I’ve been going to Thailand for 20 years and this is the worst place I’ve stayed come 6pm when the restaurant closed these nothing to do trust me I mean nothing. Restaurant food is priced say 200 baht for pad Thai then you have to pay more for chicken and more if you want prawn and even more for sea food and would say the food is very average. The only nice thing about this place is the view from bungarlow room. But dose not compensate for bed flees my wife’s legs are a mess she must have been more sensitive than me . Needless to say we were do happy to get out of the place and looked round for other places to stay if you want to sample the beach and swim take a taxi or bike visit but don’t stay but be careful of the road it’s so steep.

We (the tourists) took the best part away years ago. Above the water everything looks clean and neat. Beautiful sunset etc. Underwater different situation. There is not much littering to be seen however most corals are basically dead. Same as Koh Tao all around the island the snorkel spots look like grave yards. Few fishes here and there. The years of extended underwater tourism with unprotected exposure to dum and ignorant people who would just stand on the corals took its toll. It’s a disgrace. Maybe too late the Thai finally introduced stricter measures. Best thing to do for us - not come back for 50 years

An absolute must visit when in Koh Tao. This island is absolutely gorgeous, the white sands, turquoise waters and the stunning greenery and scenery make this an absolute paradise. Instead of booking an expensive tour to visit here, we drove to the hotel Dusit Buncha and paid a few hundred baht to use there boat service which goes usually most hours and takes about 10 minutes.

did a three hour trip to this island near Koh Tao and it was absolutely worth it! It’s about 10 min with long tail taxi boat The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There’s also a viewpoint that you can’t miss. The most amazing panoramic views of the island and the sea. A must do when visiting Koh Tao!

Is beautiful island to relax and go swimming, snorkeling, dining,more private than other islands guests have place to themselves most of time day trippers come between 10am and 3:30pm when all non guest have to leave the owners and staff are very friendly and helpful food is excellent and very high standard when only guests are on island it so peaceful and relaxing definitely reccommend it as a place to go if you want to get away from the busy overcrowded tourist spots you wont be disappointed definitely going back again next time in thailand

Had a lovely time island hopping from Koh Tao. The sea is so blue and the island is very beautiful. There is a viewpoint of the entire island. Very relaxing atmostphere

Amazing island with pretty corals ans nice beaches

Lovely little island for a couple hours on the beach and snorkeling. I was surprised they have a restaurant. You can rent umbrellas and chairs to get outta the sun. There is a hike you can do for a great view.

Touristy place with good view of the station. Price is moderate. Might not be a great deal but not a bad place to chill while waiting the train to come into the station Mango sticky rice is average Hot plate is available some noodles and other stuff Smoothies are great so as coconut

Nice.. new experience 😍

good~

Stopped here for a short snack and to watch the tourists. Food is average and nothing special. Prices are around 40 for each, sticky rice is 50. One woman is singing the menu to get attention. Pad Thai was ready immediately, the dumplings took 10 minutes.

Avoid at all cost, better still avoid this restaurant due to the service. 1. Mama Fried (tasteless and noodle overcooked), 2. Tofu Soup (pork still raw when served) 3. Pork noodle (edible if add more chilli powder) 4. Tomyam Gong Noodle (edible with fish sauce) 5. Omelette (tasteless but edible)

Great experince. Worth to visit. Saw.how the merchant closed their retail when the train comes. Many foods and fruits seller. Coconut drinks are cheap here.I bought some fruits and snack.

Very nice and cool experience

A lively and colorful market with a great atmosphere and plenty of photo opportunities. It’s quite touristy, but still an interesting experience to see the traditional floating stalls and local products. Best to visit early in the morning before it gets too crowded. Overall, worth seeing at least once for the unique setting and local charm.

4th October 2025: Mildly interesting experience, there are far better markets in the streets. We went as part of a tour. I wouldnt want to go out of my way to visit this place, as its a pure tourist trap. We did go at the start of the season so it wasn't too busy. Boats seem to steer you to their preferred vendor, and everything is alike. Still each to their own, and a different experience.

Visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The small boat cruise takes you along a lively waterway lined with countless shops selling a wide variety of local goods, souvenirs, and Thai delicacies. It’s fascinating to see how vendors sell directly from their boats, creating a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly captures the charm of Thailand’s traditional floating markets. The entire experience feels authentic and distinct — gliding through narrow canals surrounded by colorful stalls and local life. There are plenty of snacks and desserts to try along the way, including mangies, sticky rice, and other traditional Thai treats that make the ride even more enjoyable. For those looking for something unusual, you can even take a picture with a snake handled by locals offering photo opportunities. And if you’re lucky, your boat driver might take you a little farther from the main market area, where you can spot a wild monitor lizard resting near the water — a surprising and exciting highlight of the trip. Overall, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market offers a fun, scenic, and culture-filled experience that’s great for tourists who want to see a different side of Thailand’s local life. It’s definitely a must-visit for those who enjoy sightseeing, trying local food, and discovering the country’s traditional market culture in a picturesque floating setting.

This is the original floating market that is a couple of hours south west of Bangkok. Worth a visit if you have a day or two in Bangkok with nothing much planned. Probably best planned as a day trip paired with the Maeklong Railway Market. There are good and souvenir shops that aren't on boats as well so there is a variety of choices.

This place is full of traditional charm. I really enjoyed the local meals and bought many souvenirs. The water area could be cleaner to make it more attractive and eco-friendly. I’ll definitely bring my friends here — it’s one of the best places to visit in Bangkok!

Colorful floating market with many boats selling local food, fruits, and souvenirs. Interesting place to visit if it's the first time for you. Best to go early before it gets crowded. 800 baht for row boat 2 person.🙂

A famous and picturesque floating market. It’s worth experiencing to appreciate how trade used to take place in this area in ancient times. There are some amazing boats—especially the ones selling fruit—but most of the prices are inflated, and many of the items for sale can be found in any souvenir shop.

My 91 year old father returned to Thailand after 51 years to visit me and my girlfriend. We decided to bring him to this historic area seeing how he is a history buff. He served in the United States Air Force. He loved seeing and touching things he had read about or seen in movies. I am happy to create memories with him in this capacity.

4th October 2025: Historic location to visit, we visited at the start of the tourist season and it was ok, would imagine in high season the whole area is extremely busy. There is a POW camp on the other side of the river, the place is a total myth and tourist trap as no camp ever existed there. Plenty to see in the bridge area with the museum and cemetery in close proximity.

Very beautiful place not to Miss. Many people come here as it has a big history from world war. Magnificent Creation in those days. I like. There are many photos shots. Don't forget to bring your camera. Come when train comes. Very good. 2025 Oct

It is a nice place to visit, it is a must for those who care about history. Everything about the place says "old." Not very well maintained. The museum is mostly old and faded pictures. The bridge need some fixing. The train looks like it hasn't been updated since 1942. But, this is Thailand, not big on maintenence. The market is cool, but same old trinkets.

An amazing piece of history must see. The Thai museum is not that good but a better one is at the cemetery in town. You can ride the train across if you buy a ticket. The restaurant on the water is a little pricey for Thailand but a great view of the bridge. A recommend going if you can.

This place is a very scenic area, the river, the green hills in the background, and the old trains make it great for photos. You can walk across the bridge but just watch out for the tourist train that occasionally comes through. There are lots of food stalls, coffee shops, and souvenir stores around, so it’s easy to spend an hour here. I visited around 2 PM, it was not too hot, and the light was beautiful.

The River Kwai Bridge is a popular tourist spot. It's a great place to take photos, but if you want to capture the iconic shot of a train crossing, be sure to check the train schedule in advance—I missed the timing. The area around the bridge is filled with souvenir stalls, cafes, and restaurants. It was incredibly hot, so I only spent about 45 minutes there, taking a few photos before leaving. I did, however, have some delicious and reasonably priced soup noodles at a nearby restaurant. Parking is limited, so it's a good idea to plan ahead.

A peaceful and moving place that honors the memory of Allied POWs who died building the Death Railway. The cemetery is beautifully maintained and offers a quiet space for reflection. A must visit if you're in Kanchanaburi and interested in WWII history.

Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, also known as Don-Rak War Cemetery, is the primary burial ground for prisoners of war who died during the construction of the Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway. Located in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, it holds the graves of over 6,900 Allied soldiers, primarily British, Australian, and Dutch, who perished from exhaustion, malnutrition, and disease.

A sad memorial to prisoners of war who died on a construction of the railway. Most of the soldiers died in their 20s. Well maintained.

The Kanchanaburi war cemetery is a solemn place dedicated to the memory of the fallen during world war 2. There were many nationalities during this period but I believe majority of the ones buried here are either British or Australian. It's right across the death railway museum.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place of remembrance whilst also full of sadness. The place is extremely well kept and in pristine condition. Thankyou to the local workers here.

Visit this place to give respect to war sufferers, who lost their lives during world war 2. Similar cemetery is at Kohima , Nagaland , India where the Japanese were defeated by allied armies.

Visited on 11th November for the remembrance service. Well attended, solemn and respectful.

Such a variety of animals. Small but interesting! Highly recommended, for families with kids. There is lots of local/tropical animals as well as really special ones from Africa and the Amazon. The zoo is not really for profit and doesn’t really cost any money but sells animal food at reasonable prices , etc. I didn’t take photos of all of them.

Tiger Park in Sriracha is a great place to see tigers up close. The park is clean and well organized, and the staff are friendly and careful with safety. You can take photos with tigers of different sizes, from baby cubs to big ones. The animals look healthy and well cared for. It’s a unique and memorable experience, perfect for families and tourists visiting Pattaya or Sriracha. the place is not much crowded

ANY WILD ANIMAL WHO IS FORCED TO RIDE FOR ENTERTAINMENT (SUCH A BIKE?!) IS NOT A SAFE OR ETHICAL PLACE. These places operate on animal cruelty for their own monetary gain. Please do not engage with such places and put animal wellbeing first.

Great place for kids and even adults! Very spacious and clean. 100baht tickets only and best of all can use this to get the feeds for animals or photo taking. Kids had lots of fun!!

Very disappointed. Animals treated very badly (elephants chained, tiger hit). If you do go ask for ticket only 100bhat for adult, Free for children however they will try to charge you a lot at the entrance.

Good compact small farm. Highlight is to hold the little lion.

A nice mini zoo, the entrance fee can use as money to buy food and water along with food for feeding animals. The zoo is not that big, with a great atmosphere and many places to take a photo. You can ride a horse and elephants. The riding horse fee is 2 rounds for 200 Baht, 30 mins for 500 Baht. The coach is very nice and teaches a lot of tricks before riding.

Ancient City is an amazing place to explore Thai culture and history in one spot. The park is huge, so renting a bike or golf cart is highly recommended — it makes getting around much easier. You’ll see replicas of Thailand’s most famous temples, palaces, and historic sites, all beautifully maintained. There are lots of spots for photos and you would require about 1-2hrs if you rent a vehicle.

Enjoyed my experience here today. Some thoughts: - THB800 entry fee for adult foreigners, reasonable when you see how extensive the site is. - Worth getting a golf cart if you’re not on your own (perhaps even worth it if you are there individually). The cart rental costs THB350 for the first hour then THB100 for every additional hour. It gets really hot in the afternoon and the shade the cart provides will make it worth while hiring. - The more impressive replica buildings are generally to the left of the site and the impressive recreation of ruins across Thailand are to the right. I suggest making your way to what’s your preferred style earlier in the day before the intense heat tires you. - Probably plan for at least 3-4 hours. If you want to see most of the attractions, it might take you the whole day.

This is such a magical place to visit. Although, quite far from Bangkok, if you do not have any other plans, you can stop by and explore the place. If you would like to explore by yourself, you can book for the golf cart or the bicycle. If not, you can book for the tram where it usually stops at each point and the driver would give a short description of each places. We bought our ticket online which is quite convenient. And its recommend that you brought some bottled water and hand fan as it can get hot. We went there in late October. There were so many things to see and take pictures for the insta 🫡 It can take up half a day if you're planning to go at each point. And there's some small restaurants if you're hungry. But unfortunately, no halal ones. So, if you're a Muslim, do eat before coming here or bring a small snack to fill your stomach a bit. Oh, but we bought an ice-cream before entering the place

Amazing place, but the elephants are a heartbreaking sight. The Ancient City in Bangkok is a beautiful and very well-maintained park where you can see replicas of Thailand’s most iconic temples and historic sites. The area is huge, so renting a golf cart is definitely worth it — it makes exploring much easier and more enjoyable. The only downside is seeing elephants kept there for tourist entertainment. For me, it was uncomfortable and sad to watch. The place itself is truly unique and worth visiting, but I wish animals were not used as an attraction.

Our first stop in Thailand, reason was we wanted to mostly take pics and IG worthy shots and skip the touristy downtown temples. Huge open Air Museum with lots of attractions, took us about 4 hrs to go around the whole complex riding a golf cart. I advise booking online for better prices. We booked through Kloook. 10/10

I only had couple of days in Bangkok and the Ancient City experience allowed me to get a good overview of the types of architecture, temples and learn a bit of the history. Lots to see and photograph. We hired a golf cart for ease of getting about, handy in the heat and random rain showers. Didn't try the floating restaurants (but read that they're good) but did have the iced coffee at the souvenir shop and it was strong and great tasting.

What a place! The amazing experience was that we could drive our own golf cart. Stop according to our likes. The place is massive. Even a whole day is not enough to explore this. We need places like this in India. The way they have built this place is mind blowing.

This is Bangkok's most important landmark 🇹🇭. After visiting the Grand Palace, don't miss this temple, which is featured on the Thai 10-baht coin. I was so happy to wear traditional Thai clothing. The interior is beautiful, and the pagoda is huge. Everyone comes here to take photos in traditional Thai clothing. You can rent traditional Thai clothing at many shops behind the temple, with prices ranging from 100 to 500 baht. Admission is free for Thais and about 100 baht for foreigners. Open time from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you've already visited the Grand Palace or Wat Pho, you can take a ferry across the river to this temple.

The Temple of the Sunset is a must-visit. It’s very beautiful and worth exploring to learn about its history. Originally, it was the first thing ships would see in the distance to know they had arrived in Bangkok. If you have time, go to the opposite riverbank and watch it light up at sunset—it’s a stunning sight.

I absolutely love coming to this place. From the narrow streets outside with all the super local spots, to inside at the temple. Its amazing and the energy is something to feel. Outside you can rent traditional Thai clothing to venture in and have photoshoots done (amazing experience btw). They have great food places around. You can access Wat Arun by car or boat (recommend taking the boat in atleast once). Traffic can get bad depending upon the time of day. At night this place is insanely beautiful viewing from a distance as its all lit up. Must see spot for sunrise and sunset. Bathrooms easily accessible. Entrance easy going and quick (you get a free water). I always visit whenever I am in BKK.

Beautiful temples and Chinese-Thai heritage. The stones, carvings, marbles, paints and colors are simply breathtaking. Had a beautiful experience. Bring e-fans, fans, umbrella and hats. Wear your sunscreens. Gets hot and crowded. Entrance fee for foreign visitors is BAHT200 each. **If you will not be in traditional thai costume, please be mindful of your attire.

We only experienced Wat Arun from the boat, but it still made a huge impression. The temple rises beautifully over the river, and the details on the spires are stunning even from a distance. It’s one of those places that instantly catches your eye. If you’re doing a Chao Phraya River cruise, make sure you slow down and really take in the view — it’s unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back and explore it properly!

We visited Wat Arun, a beautiful Buddhist temple located by the river. The architecture is stunning, and climbing the temple gives amazing views of the surroundings. The entrance fee is 200 THB per person. It’s a peaceful and culturally rich place, definitely worth spending some time exploring.

what a huuuge amazing temple! went there and experienced the thailand traditional costumes and took some pictures just how tourists did 😆☝️ 200bath for the entrance fee, very recommended to go there early morning or in the evening. the sun is no joke the other day we went for a cruise dinner and pasaing by the wat arun at night and its really beautiful pictures turned super good!!!

Wat Pho completely surprised us! From the outside it looks impressive, but once you step inside, you realise just how big the temple grounds really are. There’s so much to explore — from the beautiful pagodas to the peaceful courtyards. We also learned a lot while walking around. Wat Pho is actually considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and you can see murals and inscriptions that teach about healing, meditation, and ancient Thai medicine. It’s such an interesting place if you enjoy culture and history. But the absolute highlight for us was the Reclining Buddha. I was honestly in shock when I saw it — it’s HUGE and absolutely stunning up close! The gold, the details on the feet, everything… it’s breathtaking and impossible to capture fully in photos. Definitely one of the must-see temples in Bangkok. Beautiful, educational, and unforgettable. Photos do not do it justice!!

The temple is first on the list of six temples in Thailand classed as the highest grade of the first-class royal temples. Wat Pho also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha,a 46 meters long and covered in gold. Its sheer size and serene expression are truly awe-inspiring, and no photo can quite capture the sense of peace and reverence you feel standing before it. The temple is breathtaking — rich with history, stunning architecture, and incredible detail in every corner. Wat Pho is also home to beautiful stupas, peaceful courtyards, and the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. The temple is considered the earliest centre for public education in Thailand. It houses a school of Thai medicine, and is also known as the birthplace of traditional Thai massage which is still taught and practiced at the temple. A few helpful tips for fellow travellers: * Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter experience. * Dress modestly — shoulders and knees should be covered as a sign of respect. Totally, a must visit place in Bangkok along with Grand Palace.

This beautiful Buddhist temple complex is worth at least two hours of exploration, as it offers far more than its famous Reclining Buddha statue, with many peaceful and interesting spots to enjoy. It’s best to visit in the early morning when the weather is cooler and the crowds are smaller. The grounds provide free drinking water fountains, free restrooms, and shaded areas where you can relax before continuing your visit. The temple is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, giving you the chance to experience an authentic treatment; a one-hour oil massage is recommended for deep relaxation, and it’s helpful to request a blanket because the air-conditioning can be quite strong. Keep in mind that tickets can only be purchased with cash.

A must-visit in Bangkok! Wat Pho is home to the impressive 46-meter-long reclining Buddha and beautiful temple architecture. The entry fee is just 200 Baht and includes a free bottle of water. The complex is peaceful, well-maintained, and full of photo-worthy spots. Go early to avoid the crowd and don’t forget to wear respectful clothing!"

Wow!! Amazing temple!! The most special and beautiful in Bangkok, you have to stop and go inside. The complex is amazing in its beauty. Even if you are in town for a day, you have to come here. It is simply amazing in its beauty and you can't miss it. The reclining Buddha is also amazing. We saw large Buddhas, but this is on a different scale, simply amazing. Breathtaking.

Another example of the artistic brilliance of the Thai people Built in the 17th century, this temple is still majestic and well maintained. There is a statue of Buddha lying down with one hand on his head, it is beautiful to see.There are many shops in this temple & They keep the bathrooms very clean. The only problem is that locals are allowed in for free but foreigners are charged 300 baht.300 Thai baht is not a big amount for Europeans because their national currency is powerful. But it's a burden for those coming from countries with weak currencies. Airfare from the country, hotel accommodation and money exchange. Tourists come here by spending money in many ways. The government should provide some concessions to them.

Very beautiful and big temple! Second time here and it amazes me just like the first time. The reclining Buddha was stunning. Wasn’t a line when we went, admission to the temple was affordable, only $300 baht. Cash only if you plan on going! They have clean restrooms. Be ready to take a lot of photos and videos!

The Grand Palace in Bangkok is truly a stunning place to visit! The complex is full of beautifully decorated, colorful buildings that are impressive in every detail. The entrance ticket costs 500 Thai baht, and although it’s one of the most popular attractions among tourists, the visit is still very pleasant and well organized. You can visit the entire area in about one to one and a half hours, depending on how much time you spend exploring each spot. In some buildings you must enter without shoes, so it’s a good idea to wear something easy to take off. Overall, it’s an absolute must-see — one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks and definitely not to be missed! 🌟

Visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok is an experience that transcends mere tourism; it is a profound journey into the soul of Thai culture, history, and spiritual artistry. From the moment its majestic spires come into view, you know you are approaching something truly extraordinary. The intricate details that adorn every surface, from the gleaming gold leaf to the vibrant, mosaic-laden facades, are simply breathtaking and surpass all imagination. The undisputed highlight, and a sight that will remain etched in my memory forever, is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). The reverence and serenity within this temple are palpable. To witness the sacred Emerald Buddha, meticulously dressed for the season, is a humbling and deeply spiritual moment, even for visitors. The surrounding galleries featuring the epic Ramakien murals are not just decorations; they are a colossal and captivating storybook, depicting tales of good versus evil with stunning artistry. While the grounds can be crowded, its vastness allows you to find moments of quiet reflection in smaller courtyards. It is essential to dress respectfully, as this is a sacred site, but the effort is a small price to pay for the privilege of entering. Yes, this is one of Bangkok's most famous landmarks, but it completely earns its status. It is more than a collection of buildings; it is the living, breathing symbol of a nation. The sheer scale of craftsmanship and the palpable sense of history in every corner is awe-inspiring. Allocate at least three to four hours to fully appreciate its grandeur. A visit to the Grand Palace isn't just a check on a bucket list; it is an essential, unforgettable, and profoundly moving encounter with the heart of Thailand.

The Grand Palace is stunning and absolutely worth visiting. Even though part of it was closed for a royal funeral ceremony, the experience was incredible. The golden details, murals, and overall atmosphere are unforgettable. Dress modestly, arrive early to avoid crowds, and buy tickets only at the official entrance. It can get very hot, so bring water and take your time exploring. A true highlight of Bangkok.

It is undoubtedly the most famous tourist attraction. One of the most beautiful temples I have ever seen. Beautiful courtyards, a place with history. Entrance fee is 500 TН. Last entry time is just before 3:30 PM. I recommend you visit it before noon. You will see the brilliance, beauty and effort with your own eyes!

Definitely worth a visit. Get there early to avoid the queue and just ignore anyone outside offering to help. Do remember to cover up, long trousers or full skirt plus shoulders covered. Also try the queen's textile museum it's fascinating and would be a visit by itself anywhere else. You need about 3 hours to do it all.

There’s so much to take in here. The architecture is incredible, and the murals are captivating even if you don’t know their full story. Seeing some of the girls dressed in traditional outfits was a nice touch too. You could easily spend a couple of hours exploring the place. Tickets were easy to get on location.

I’m Bangkok people ,I visit this place almost 100 times hahaha never get bored every time that i come here.This place is a source of high-class Thai art inherited from the Ayutthaya kingdom period🇹🇭 everything is so beautiful that it’s called the city of angels. For practical information -Thai people (Free) just show ID card at entrance -Foreigner 500 THB/ person One important thing for visiting is that you must dress appropriately, especially for women don’t dress provocatively 😊

A wonderful temple complex! Very well maintained, because it is the religious place of the royal family. All the buildings are amazingly decorated, in bright colors, with extraordinary meticulousness. It looks like the palaces from childhood stories. Very crowded, rigorous control at the entrance, with scanners and military personnel. You need about 60-90 minutes to visit it, together with the Royal Palace (this is only the outside)

Wat Phra Kaew – Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Bangkok One of the most sacred and stunning temples in Thailand! 🌟 Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) is located within the Grand Palace complex and is truly breathtaking. The temple houses the famous Emerald Buddha, and the intricate details on the walls, roofs, and statues are mesmerizing. Entrance fee to the Grand Palace is 500 THB, and modest clothing is required — shoulders and knees must be covered. Sarongs are provided if needed. 🧥 The temple is very clean and well maintained. Photography is allowed in most areas, but respectful behavior is mandatory. 💡 Tip: Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Don’t miss the chance to admire the golden decorations and murals telling Thai legends.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the most stunning and spiritually significant places to visit in Bangkok. The moment you enter the complex, the level of craftsmanship and detail is breathtaking. The golden structures, intricate mosaics, and beautifully maintained grounds make the entire area feel special and deeply meaningful. The Emerald Buddha itself is much smaller than I expected but still beautiful. The atmosphere inside the temple is quiet, respectful, and serene, giving you a moment to pause and appreciate its cultural and religious importance. Even with many visitors, the environment still feels calm and well managed. The complex is spotless, well organized, and easy to navigate. Staff are present to guide guests and ensure the dress code is followed, which helps maintain the dignity of the space. It is worth taking your time here because every corner has something beautiful to see. Overall, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is a must-visit landmark in Bangkok. It is visually stunning, historically rich, and offers a peaceful experience right in the heart of the city. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to appreciate Thailand’s spiritual and artistic heritage.

Visiting the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, or Wat Phra Kaew, within the Grand Palace complex, was the single most profound and memorable experience of my entire trip to Bangkok. To call it a "tourist attraction" feels almost inadequate; this is the spiritual heart of Thailand, and you can feel its sacred energy the moment you step inside the temple grounds. The anticipation builds as you walk through the majestic white walls, and then you see it—enshrined high upon a golden pedestal within the magnificently decorated ordination hall, the Emerald Buddha is a vision of serene and powerful beauty. While its size may be smaller than one might imagine, its presence is immense. The sheer reverence in the air is palpable, with hundreds of visitors sitting in quiet contemplation, united in awe. Learning about the ritual of the three seasonal gold robes, changed by His Majesty the King himself, added a deep layer of cultural significance to what I was witnessing. This isn't a static artifact; it is a living, breathing part of Thai monarchy and faith. The intricate craftsmanship of the gilded garuda and nagas that surround the statue, combined with the dazzling interior murals, creates a setting fit for a national treasure. The entire temple complex, with its gleaming chedis and mythical statues, feels like a celestial city. It is essential to dress modestly out of respect, and I highly recommend going early to fully absorb the atmosphere before the largest crowds arrive. The experience is humbling and transcendent. It’s more than just seeing a famous statue; it’s about connecting with the soul of a nation. The image of the Emerald Buddha, bathed in light, is one I will carry with me forever. This is an absolute, non-negotiable must-see for any visitor to Bangkok.

One of the most impressive temples in Thailand and an absolute must-see in Bangkok. The architecture, detail, and atmosphere are breathtaking. It can get very crowded, so it’s best to visit early in the morning. Despite the crowds, the experience is unforgettable and truly showcases the beauty of Thai culture and craftsmanship.

A breathtaking temple complex. The whole area has incredible buildings, some are not open to the public but you can still walk around them and enjoy the facades and architecture. Like any other Buddhist temple you need to take your shoes off to visit the Emerald Buddha which is magnificent.

Visiting the Temple of the Emerald Buddha was one of the highlights of my trip to Bangkok. The temple is stunning, with its golden details, colorful murals, and peaceful atmosphere. Seeing the Emerald Buddha itself felt very special, even though the statue is small compared to the grand surroundings. It was quite crowded, and strict dress rules are enforced, but the beauty and spiritual significance of the place made the experience unforgettable.

The zoo is very pretty , fun and really big . Had an amazing time with my family . I recommend rent the golf cart which will make your trip even more exciting. Highly recommend to those who want to have close encounters with animals. You can buy feed for the giraffes, elephants , deer , capybara and experience feeding them . We had a wonderful day . Must visit 👍👍

Great zoo, a good place to spend the whole day. We bought a tour in Pattaya. Very huge territory. It's hard to understand on your first visit and impossible to walk around everything. Be sure to use the shuttles in the area or rent golf carts. I definitely recommend it! We fed lemurs, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, deer and a lion!

The entrance can be confusing as a foreign visitor. I prebooked a ticket on Klook, then had to redeem it at the small white house a short walk from the entrance. Then I could return to the entrance and turn in that receipt. Zoo is a bit run down but the animals are interesting! I walked but ran out of steam pretty quickly. The tram and golf carts look like great options because you can stop and get off and on frequently. Lots of bathrooms and snack places. Souvenirs aren’t great but they are available.

I only gave 3 stars as it states it's an Open Zoo, it is for some animals, but others are kept in cramped caged areas. You can rent a self drive Golf cart or small tuk tuk to get around (recommended) as it is spread out over a vast area, too hot and humid to walk around. There are public trams that make the rounds, you can hop on/off, but of course have no control of where you're going. Bolt taxi from Pattaya was around £5 each way, a bargain considering the distance. The carts and tuk tuks are also very cheap to rent.

This place is wildly fun! For the first half of it. You can rent a golf cart and zip around and for the second half you can take a vehicle to get from exhibit to exhibit. There is so much more there than just one adorable, fantastic, feisty little hippo. Go for Moo Deng, stay for everything else! So great!

One of the best zoos that keep animals feel at their homes. Although people are drawn by superstar Moo Deng, but this place has a lot to offer. You can spend one whole day comfortably and it worths your time.

It was a wonderful experience for me and my family. We rented a golf cart and explored the zoo at our own pace, enjoying the beautiful sights throughout the visit.

Worth to spend a day specially for kids. Much more cleanness needed by authorities near and around animal cages & living area. International buffet good for Thai & Chinese cushion only. Inside every fun activities are sold for tickets. Thats ok for funding. But flexibility is essential as money is not everything. 95% Staff attentive for all events are the best human resources there. Very active & innovative. One of Asian pride 👑️ Sawasdee🙏

Safari World is a fun place to spend a day, especially if you enjoy animal shows and light adventure. We were able to watch the Spy War, dolphin, and sea lion shows, and each one had its own entertaining moments. The bus tour was also a nice way to see different animals up close without too much effort. One of the highlights was feeding the giraffes, which was simple but memorable. The weather was good, so lunchtime wasn’t too hot, and there were shaded spots to rest. Just be ready for a lot of walking since the park is quite wide. Overall, it’s a good experience for families and friends who want a mix of shows, animals, and easy sightseeing.

Safari World Bangkok is a fun-filled, family-friendly adventure! 🐯🦒🚗 The drive-through safari was an unforgettable experience — lions, zebras, giraffes, and more, roaming freely around your car. The Marine Park is packed with entertaining shows — from dolphins and sea lions to cowboy stunts and Hollywood action. It’s well-organized, clean, and perfect for kids and adults alike. Food options are good, and there are plenty of shady spots to relax. Highly recommended for a full day of wildlife and fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at Safari World & Marine Park, Bangkok We had an amazing experience, especially at the Marine Park — all the shows were absolutely fantastic! Most shows happen twice a day, so plan your visit accordingly to make the most of it. Every show is worth your time and perfect for families. For better ticket prices, book through Agoda or other online travel portals — they usually offer great discounts. If you plan to visit Safari World, note that you can either drive your own car through the park or pay 100 Baht per person for the safari bus (in addition to the admission ticket). The safari itself takes about 30 minutes — it’s nice but don’t expect the kind of up-close tiger encounters you might see in promotional pictures. If you’ve booked a ticket with lunch included, you’ll enjoy a buffet meal at one of their restaurants. The lunch was really good — they had separate counters for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, which we appreciated. For feeding animals, the prices vary from 100–300 Baht depending on the animal. Restrooms are available at many places inside the park, which is convenient. A small tip — bottled water (500 ml) inside costs around 30 Baht, so it’s better to carry your own bottle. You can refill it during the buffet lunch. They played 2-3 indian songs during dolphin show. Overall, don’t pay too much attention to negative reviews — it’s truly one of the best one-time experiences you can have in Bangkok, especially for families and kids. Highly recommended! 🌿🦒🐬

We went on a group tour. Well this place is good for children and adults with 4 different shows that happen everyday (chimpangee, dolphin, sealion and elephant show). It takes you whole day. Giraffe feeding was 200 bhat each and taking a picture with eagle was 400 bhat each. We were fed indian buffet lunch(not recommended). We eneded up eating outside the buffet as it was very much unorganized. The resturants are all animal themed. The safari world is where you drive with you van or car inside a protected area. We did not enjoy it. However we got to see tiger, bear and more animals. The zoo was supercrowded as many tour groups and students from school were there when we visited. An okish experience.

My recent visit to Safari World Bangkok was, without a single doubt, one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Thailand. From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable, and the entire experience far exceeded our already high expectations. This isn't just an attraction; it's a full-day immersion into the wonders of the animal kingdom, brilliantly split into two distinct and thrilling sections. We began our adventure with the iconic Safari Park drive-through. It felt surreal to be driving through expansive landscapes with majestic giraffes gracefully wandering past our windows, herds of zebras and antelope grazing peacefully, and powerful lions lounging just a few meters away. It was like being transported directly to the heart of an African savanna, all while being in Bangkok. The animals appeared healthy, active, and well-cared-for in their spacious enclosures. After the drive, we entered the Marine Park, which is a vibrant hub of activity. The shows here are nothing short of spectacular. The Dolphin Show was a beautiful display of agility and intelligence, while the Spy War stunt show had our entire group on the edge of our seats with its high-octane action and incredible special effects. However, the most magical moments were the interactive encounters. Feeding the gentle giraffes, who eagerly yet politely took lettuce leaves right from our hands, was a heartwarming and unforgettable experience that we captured in countless photos. The park is impeccably clean, the pathways are well-signposted, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. We spent a solid eight hours here and still felt like we could have seen more. Safari World has masterfully created a perfect blend of education, conservation, and pure, unadulterated entertainment. It is worth every baht and every minute of your time. I cannot recommend it highly enough for families, couples, and solo travelers alike—it’s a true gem and a must-visit destination in Bangkok

A wonderful place with many animals to see, including tigers, zebras, and many more. The Terrest Giraffe experience is definitely worth it, but do note there’s an additional charge. And don’t miss the dolphin show, it’s absolutely fantastic! You can get all the tickets on the Klook app.

This place is full of history and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the ruins feels like stepping back in time, with every corner showing something interesting. The Buddha head in the tree roots is very unique and even more impressive in real life than in photos. It’s a beautiful spot to take pictures, learn about the past, and just enjoy some quiet moments away from the busy city. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the most famous temples in Ayutthaya, renowned for the most photographed Buddha head encased within the tree roots. Legend has it that a thief had intended to sell the Buddha head but was either forced to abandon it at the spot or the head was too heavy for him to carry further away, and so he had to leave it there. Over time, tree roots began to envelop the Buddha's head, and hence, this peculiar and unique landmark was formed. One can pray to the Buddha Head, but you must kneel and remove your shoes to show your respect.

A must visit in Ayutthaya City. It costs 80 baht for foreigners and 10 baht for Thai people to enter. The main attraction is the Busddha in the tree, but there are plenty of chedi, prang and other Buddha statues about. Talk a walk around Thai history and enjoy.

Nice ruins with some monks here. 80 bht entry for tourists, most ppl come to see the head in the tree. Cannot climb main large building as you can in the ruins next door.

We visited Wat Mahathat as part of a group tour to the ancient city of Ayutthaya. It is a fantastic place that is full of history. It was the capital prior to Bangkok but was completely burned down by an invasion in 1767. This place just oozes history and it is a great day trip on a visit to Bangkok. It's about an hour or hour and a half by car or there are many daily trains from Bangkok that take one hour and are very cheap. This is also where you can see the buddha head that has been surrounded by the roots of the sacred banyan tree. You should definitely try to make the time if you're in the area. There are a number of other sites only five to ten minutes away also.

Beautiful place to visit. The Buddha head entwined in the roots of the tree is a must-see and truly a unique sight. Take your time to walk around the grounds, the peaceful atmosphere makes it worth exploring.

The remnants of the Ayutthya Kingdom. The Ayutthya Kingdom was one of the most thriving dynasties of South east asia before it was attacked by the Burmese Konboung dynasty. Wat Mahathat is one such remnant of the Ayutthya dynasty. The entry ticket is 50 baht for non thai national and dress code mandates covered shoulder and knees. There are a few gifts shops right beside the ticket counter where one can rent a scarf or trousers. The place is spotless clean and serene. One can feel the calmness and peace in the air. The place definitely lives upto the hype and is a must visit spot in Ayutthya. The Buddha head in the tree is the top attraction here. But the crowd here is well managed and everyone gets a chance to take a pic. Do carry umbrella and water while visiting. Late afternoon is the best time yo visit

Beautiful park - pristine and well worth visiting. Be mindful that as a foreigner, you will need to pay the tourist price for entry (400 bhat). Not a big deal but worth noting. Also be mindful that there are a lot of unmarked speed bumps so keep an eye out for these. Highly recommended

The National park is very beautiful. A wide open large space with a road running all the way through it. On our visit we didn’t get to see elephants but we saw large healthy dear and monkeys carrying babies. There are amazing view points and also camping points. You can also drive right through the park to an amazing waterfall. A very worthwhile visit. 40 Bhat for local people and 300 Bhat for foreigners. Still money worth spending.

Huge national park with many interesting animals. I'd recommend to book a safari with a guide, because otherwise you might drive/walk straight past the most interesting things without even noticing. Also you are not allowed to walk into the jungle on your own, which makes sense because although beautiful it can also be dangerous. Also make sure you bring insect spray and leech protection socks. And don't forget to respect nature.

Beautiful place with lots of wildlife. Although it was a very short wildlife photography trip for me, I got some wonderful photographs of wild elephant herd, sambar deers, barking deers, and pig-tailed macaques. Definitely coming back for a longer visit next time.

It's really worth a visit. Just watch out for wildlife if you were to drive after dawn. There are so many interesting spots, day and night, to enjoy the nature. If you are not really into camping, stay on the lower areas of the park. There are many fancy hotels and houses to choose from. More importantly, it's much easier to eat with varieties of foods. Just be aware that prices may be similar to Bangkok, or some places are even priceier.

We visit the khao yai national Park yesterday I search on khao yai national Park website the entry fees for foreigners is 200 baht even on the Internet it says 200 baht but they charge us 400 baht per person we are the group of many people so it become double the price that what we expected this is very disappointed Dual pricing scam for expats 40thb for Thai 400thb for foreigners even if you have a work permit ranger staff at the entrance told us to leave if we aren't happy paying 10 times more than locals. This is the worst experience and worst attitude we faced and we didn't see much wildlife in day time At night safari we see some but it's not worth it to pay 10× extra for that

I really enjoyed our nature trip! The views were stunning, the air was fresh, and it felt so relaxing to be surrounded by nature.

Bat cave was a great experience… the bats were never ending! However, what I loved was climbing the mountain and seeing the beautiful view of BB from the top 🌅🌾 LOTS of people, we couldn’t get a PassApp back to our hotel as there were no drivers nearby.

Come in the evening for bats before the sunset. Has some places to drink and eat + night market. Not far from the Phnom Sampov temple and killing caves.

I didn’t stay until evening to see the bats, but the daytime visit was already beautiful! The Buddhist carvings and the giant Buddha statue on the mountain are really impressive and peaceful. The place feels calm with amazing natural scenery. It’s a nice spot to learn about local culture, take photos, and enjoy the view. I’ll come back again next time to see the bats flying out at sunset! 🌄

Saturday 11the October: Nice experience to sit and watch millions of bat's exit the cave at dusk It does get busy around the seats in front of the caves with tourists and locals Still plenty of space to enjoy nature at it's finest, well worth the visit.

If you want to see the bat cave in Battambang, here you go! Thousands of bat flying out at the evening! You can also take a car riding to the mountain just around 2.5$-3$ per person! Local food selling around that too..

Great to see all the bats flying out of the caves - there’s a few bars around that you can sit at and watch them come out (get there earlier to get a seat). You don’t need to book in advance, we just paid entrance on the door. It does get very busy from 5:15/5:30pm so get there a bit before to get a good spot and not to be rushed around as the bats come out any time from 5:45-6pm

Got a private driver to tour battambong, the last stop was the mountain to see the bats, it was awesome, Street food great, monkeys are cute. And the statue is huge.

I love boats and I love the water but this trip was not a favourite and I'd recommend a different mode of transport between Siem Reap and Battambang. Seeing the floating communities and locals transferred via their small boats to and from the ferry was great but the length of the trip at over 6 hrs and the small size of the ferry are negatives plus at times it sounded like the engine was going to die completely! It was not in a great state of repair with loose wires hanging off! Its a narrow boat to negotiate some of the tight waterways it has to travel but it means you dont have much legroom from those across from you and the bench seats just have a thin cushion so not very comfortable. We stopped after 4 hrs for a lunch break but the food did not look great so I bought some packet items. There is a very small toilet on board that you kind of have to back into as its such a low ceiling. At Battambang we stopped well outside of town and had to disembark onto a muddy riverbank as it seems the local government has built a dam further upstream and banned boats from travelling further! Not sure if this is temporary or long term. As a result its a USD5 Tuk Tuk into town

The price proposed by this company for the boat transfer from Siem Reap to Battambang (or the other way) is really expensive compared to normal prices to the normal counter office, and even much more expensive than prices for local people. And absolutely no service justifying this price. A scam!

Interesting journey! See the floating villages! But seats are incredibly uncomfortable. The 6 hour journey took seven hours. Watch out for this unscrupulous tuk-tuk driver at the Battambang end! Not recommended to hire him for any length of journey. He's unnaturally happy, but his follow-up sales tactics leave much to be desired.

It was a good way of getting close to the floating villages AND getting from Siem Reap to Battambang. It took us close to 9h in end of February 2020 due to dry season and we couldn't reach Battambang but stopped before it. No aircondition but airstream from boat speed (23km/h max). Boat had sun roof and a small hole-in-the-flor toilet. No drinks provided on board. If you are looking for "local-kind-of-adventure" this is EXACTLY your thing. If not go by bus. Startet at ~7am in Siem Reap by getting picked up at the hotel with a pick up truck (with what else?! 😁😁 ) Drove probably 40min to an harbor outside of Siem (at Siem Reap River). Went over the TonleSap to Sangker River. Lots of floating villages on this riverside. Nice to watch. 👍😎 Had "lunch" at 12 in boat stop. You might want to bring your own lunch. After the lunch break the rivers gotten thiner and driving was not easy anymore. Jurney got a bit boring. Reached a place close to Battambang finally at ~4pm. There a tuktuk has to be taken and paid to get to your hotel (paid 5$).

Attention fraud! you get thrown off the boat 20km from Siem Reap in no man's land. Everything arranged. tuk tuk drivers are waiting on site and charge $5 per person to be taken to Siem reap. there are no other ways to get there. There is also no internet to call a vehicle with the Pass app. The boat it also not the same like on the picture.

For me it is fraud! I bought tickets from Battambang to Siem Reap. But, the driver stopped about 20km before Siem Reap, everyone had to get out and walk to the already waiting tuk tuks. For an inflated price you have to be driven into town for another $5. So in total I paid 35 euros for 6,5 hours on a small boat on which you can not move, with a short stopover and with fraud later.

Echo what everyone else has said. Wish I read these before travelling. It too us 11 hours door to door between BB and SR and cost $30 for first transfer and boat trip. They dropped us off 39 minutes away from SR and we had to take the tuk tuks available. They started at $8 each but when we complained dropped to $6 each. Just be aware before you book. It is a long and uncomfortable trip. The scenery is lovely but only for the first couple of hours. Then it becomess boring.
