“Ouaou! Hot Springs were amazing! We were quite early in the morning, so there weren't many people. It was beautiful, the water was warm and pleasant. The guide provided all the information on how to go in safely. Also there are 2 pools with hot water where you can relax. Then we went to the Emerald pool, which is beautiful. We had to walk about 1 km to go but the scenery is fantastic and the wooden path is easy. The pool was amazing but unfortunately overcrowded. But definitely worth a visit. Finally we went for kayaking. The river was beautiful, but there were so many woods at the bottom…”

“Too long! Do not do Kayaking and Water Pools in the same activity. You will easily lose 3 hours or more in transport without it being said, the 2 activities are in opposite directions. And kayaking, a more or less interesting round trip with a guide who only speaks Thai.

The natural swimming pools were beautiful to see but really distorted by the high traffic. And the guides, apart from our names on a sheet, did not give any more information. We would have liked to learn more about the…”
