It was absolutely amazing! We've been to a lot of places, but this one was a completely new experience. Our family was divided. Some liked the petting zoo, others enjoyed the temple grounds and fortune-telling, or the Thai house. I, for example, really loved the caves. They're truly a natural wonder. Mouths open, eyes wide. Our guide, Anton, explained each of the sights in detail. He taught us Thai numbers and how to read them correctly. He provided us with a ton of information—he sent useful tips to everyone's phones. Thank you! The day was a breeze.

Hello everyone! My husband and I visited Thailand for the first time, and we didn't regret it! We went on the Top 5 tour today (it includes a visit to a Buddhist temple, a boat and raft ride, and an underground cave tour; a visit to a local restaurant; viewing rare animals; a trip to a unique glass bridge; and a visit to a beautiful waterfall). We highly recommend it! From the first minute of talking with our guide, Dmitry, it was clear that the trip would be truly exciting! He provided engaging and engaging explanations of each sight, answered our questions with humor, and shared many interesting facts not only about the places we visited but also about the history of Thailand. I can say for sure that he is a truly unique person. When you first arrive in a country and immediately meet such a professional, you want to come back again and again! Dmitry, thank you so much! We will definitely come again!
