点评:After spending an afternoon at the adjoining Rita’s salon being pampered for my birthday, we booked an all inclusive adventure day of tubing on the river and sightseeing in Khao Sok (a dip at a waterfall and hot springs (way too hot at 45 degrees), fed monkeys, took photos at a Buddha statue, had lunch and bamboo coffee). This was the R2 program without the jungle walk (subbed in the hot springs because the kids didn’t want to walk. I would drop the hot springs in the future).
We were a party of nine (aged between 10 and 43) so they kindly arranged for a private tour which meant we had a minivan to ourselves and could go at our own pace. The driver and tour guide were both friendly and knowledgeable. The service was great and I appreciate being able to adapt the activities depending on the weather and the abilities of those in the party (we had four kids aged between 10 and 14).
Bewty, our tour organiser, went above and beyond to ensure the experience for myself, family and friends was faultless, much appreciated. We had to reschedule our tour owing to the rain which was no problem for the tour company but I understand the tour operator was less amenable to changes and kept the tour running despite the awful weather. I appreciate Bewty pushing back to ensure we had better weather conditions before heading out for the day. This meant we were able to go on a much sunnier day where the rain miraculously cleared up and the sun shone.
In addition, Bewty gladly, and unbeknownst to me, arranged a birthday cake for our dinner that night. I heard it was her day off but she still went out of her way to pick up the cake and dropped it off to our resort in Khao Lak…adorable!
Would use this tour company again.
P.S. I did feed back to Bewty, that the tubing company need to be better with providing instructions to novices like us. A safety briefing at least would help prevent some from getting snagged by branches. Some instructions on how to finish the ride would be good too. We eventually worked out that you have to grab the rope and pull yourself onto the river bed. Depending on the current, this might need a bit of muscle. We were totally fine and the river was relatively calm considering the downpour of rain in the preceding days. However, I felt the need to tether myself to my 10 year to avoid him getting swept away and snagged by branches. My 13 year old managed all on his own with no issues.
翻译:在毗邻的 Rita 沙龙度过了一个下午,为我的生日精心准备后,我们预订了全包冒险日,包括在河上漂流和在 Khao Sok 观光(在瀑布和温泉中畅游(45 度太热了),喂猴子,在佛像前拍照,吃午餐和竹咖啡)。这是没有丛林漫步的R2项目(因为孩子们不想走路所以换成了温泉,以后我就放弃温泉了)。
我们一行九人(年龄在 10 岁到 43 岁之间),所以他们很友善地安排了一次私人旅行,这意味着我们有一辆属于自己的小型货车,可以按照自己的节奏旅行。司机和导游都很友好而且知识渊博。服务很棒,我很高兴能够根据天气和聚会人员的能力来调整活动(我们有四个孩子,年龄在 10 到 14 岁之间)。
我们的旅行组织者 Bewty 竭尽全力确保我自己、家人和朋友的体验完美无缺,非常感谢。由于下雨,我们不得不重新安排我们的旅行,这对旅游公司来说没有问题,但我知道旅行社不太愿意改变,尽管天气恶劣,但仍保持旅行进行。我很感谢 Bewty 的支持,以确保我们在出发前有更好的天气条件。这意味着我们能够度过一个阳光明媚的日子,雨奇迹般地消失了,阳光普照。
此外,Bewty 很高兴地在我不知情的情况下为我们当晚的晚餐安排了一个生日蛋糕。我听说今天是她休息日,但她仍然不遗余力地拿起蛋糕并将其送到我们位于 Khao Lak 的度假村......可爱!
会再次使用这家旅游公司。
附:我确实向 Bewty 反馈,管道公司需要更好地为像我们这样的新手提供说明。安全简报至少有助于防止一些人被树枝绊住。一些关于如何完成旅程的说明也很好。我们最终发现你必须抓住绳子并将自己拉到河床上。根据电流的不同,这可能需要一些力量。我们一切都很好,考虑到前几天的倾盆大雨,河流相对平静。然而,我觉得有必要把自己束缚在我的10岁以内,以免他被冲走并被树枝绊住。我 13 岁的孩子独自一人处理一切,没有出现任何问题。
