We had a very good experience doing this wildlife tour with our guide Ruang. I think it’s rly amazing and cool how knowledgeable he was about the diff wildlife, like he could identify the diff animals by their cries or tell us about how diff plants propagate - truly mad respect! We learnt a lot from our guide, and everything was very smooth and well planned :) thank you for the great experience!

The tour was brilliant and exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, M, was passionate about his job. He always knew where to spot animals and capture amazing photos via his telescope. Thanks again!

Joom was an absolutely perfect guide! We saw so many things with her that we could have never seen ourselves. The addition of the telescope allowed for brilliant pictures and she was so keen for us to have an amazing experience. I fully recommend this tour, it was a truly wonderful time.

We had an incredible tour, we saw many animals including 3 elephants, monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, snakes, scorpions, lizards and various species of birds. Our guide was brilliant with a huge amount of enthusiasm and knowledge. I would recommend the 2 day tour fully, it was brilliant and we got so much for the cost.

Jum was a fantastic guide and made sure we had a fabulous 2 days. How she managed to spot even the smallest bird or snake as we drove along I don’t know! We saw gibbons, families of macaque monkeys, a rare leopard cat, porcupines, a civet cat, and many birds and lizards among other things. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

We enjoyed an excellent two-day, private tour, with our guide, Alex, who was not only an excellent wildlife and bird spotter, but also an excellent driver. We especially appreciated that he never rushed any of our wildlife observations; thereby allowing us to observe their behaviors, including (to name a few) those of an Asian elephant, white-handed gibbons, Great Hornbills, an Oriental whip snake, buffy fish owls, and red-headed trogons. In contrast, our night tour with a park ranger, was a disappointment. Lastly only thirty minutes, they drove far too quickly for us to really appreciate the few sightings of sambar and barking deer. We were fortunate, at the end of the night tour, when we met back up with Alex, that we saw two guars. We would rate our time with Alex as a 5 and our time with the park ranger as a 2.

Our tour guide M was very professional, fun and knowledgeable about all species of animals in the national park. He tailored the tour to our preference so that we were able to spend more time in the jungle searching for the animals we wanted to see, and knows exactly where to look for them. It took us some effort to find the white-handed gibbons but nonetheless we were able to see them in the jungle, thanks to M.

Can’t recommend the tour, and tour guide M more!
