I'll never travel to Melaka without this trip planner again
The Krabi City Seaview hotel is a modest establishment that features simple yet comfortable accommodations and an informal restaurant with panoramic ocean vistas. During our three-night stay in two of their unpretentious rooms, we found the 2-star property to be ideal for our needs. The balcony room we stayed in offered breathtaking views that have left a lasting impression on us. Its location, which is only a ten-minute walk from Krabi city center, was also convenient.
We had 2 rooms and stayed 3 nights. As a 2 star hotel it is perfect. Especially balcony room. It has a awesome view never can forget. Good location about 10 minutes walking to Krabi city centre. Cleanliness is ok but bathroom in see view room (without balcony) need urgent renew. Stuffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast serves semi buffet but good quality and sufficient. I will come back here for sure.

Only 10min walk to night markets. The hotel is next to the park with nice view of the river/sea gate. Room is clean, old style furnitures.
Something to consider:
- no elevator (but low stairway)
- in room: no slippers, no complimentary water
- in bathroom: quite small, slippery if wet floor

No windows open very poor ventilation just a rented room
Dan Ward — Google review
Room smelled, there is no sea view from the rooms, to be fair there is no view at all from the rooms. Cockroaches in the bathrooms and ceilings falling apart. There's no staff at night at the reception so when I locked myself from the room at night there was nobody to open the door, and no phone number to call. At least it was very cheap.
Leal lil — Google review
We choose this place because is near the pier (about 800m). If you don't want to be underground without the window, don't choose the cheapest room. It was really dark and small. But maybe for one night with low budget can be ok. Up the roof is small place where the breakfast is served and from here is very nice view.
Ladislav Kocián — Google review
Please don't go there. First of all it's way too expensive for what you get. The only good thing about this place is the short distance to the nightmarket an the nice receptionist. The first room we had had such a dirty shower and toilet. And the room was smelling like mold. So we got another room with at last a somewhat cleaner bathroom but still you didn't want to touch the shower. It was still smelling like mold and we foud some mold on the bedsheed. We endet up sleeping with a plastic sheet over the bed because we spend way too much on this hotel.

A truly budget hotel but with great river views. Quiet position, located in Krabi Town on the riverside. 5 minute walk to shops, restaurants, street food and coffee shops. Hotel really needs some TLC but OK for the money. Rooms spacious and clean but basic. Bathroom also large but in need of some decoration! No safe in room. Top floor rooms (5th floor) have best views. You will need to book a 'deluxe' room as this appears to be their 'best'. Breakfast very basic with no Thai option. Served on the 5th floor open balcony which is nice. Very friendly staff. River Pier just 5 minute walk for access to Long-tail boats and ferries to all of the islands.

Kuala Lumpur, the bustling capital of Malaysia, offers more than just the typical tourist spots. Instead of the crowded Jalan Alor and Chinatown, foodies can explore Pudus ICC hawker food centre and Connaught garden food market for a taste of authentic local cuisine. For stunning city views, skip the Petronas Towers and head to one of the many rooftop bars. Nightlife enthusiasts should opt for TREC over Changkat for a fun night out.

Bang Pa-In Palace is a majestic estate that was initially established in the 17th century and later restored during the 19th century by kings Rama IV and V. This opulent summer residence of the Thai royal family covers an area of 19 hectares and boasts a diverse range of architectural styles, including European, Chinese, and Thai designs.
Great place with lots of historical monuments that speak the stories of Thailand's history. Definitely a good experience to have. Buggy cars are available for hire. Recommend to bring an umbrella as it can get quite hot under the sun. There is a very strict dress code, no shorts, tight jeans or jeans with holes, nor singlets allowed.
Benjamin Wong — Google review
Summer residence of the royals. Large area and many buildings. European inspired design throughout the grounds. There’s a building with Chinese designs. Can walk around freely for the most part. Most buildings you can’t enter. There’s a huge pond where you can feed turtles and fish.
Ryan Zhou — Google review
The place is nice and picture worthy. We rented a golf cart so that we could really see all the houses in the compound. Unfortunately you can't enter any of the houses. The weather was unpredictable at this time, alternately raining and very hot and humid. So the golf cart was very convenient. Nice refreshing drinks can be purchased as you end the tour.
Mae Perez — Google review
This is one of the palaces used by the royal family to receive foreign dignitaries.
The palace grounds are vast, and the sites open to the public are pretty.
A good stopover to spend an hour or two on the way to Ayutthaya. I would recommend spending a bit of time at the onsite museum as well to catch a glimpse of noteworthy artifacts (note that photography is not allowed in the museum).
Ethan Tan — Google review
This is a beautiful palace. At the entrance after you pay the entry fee, you have two options on how you want to visit the place, either walking under the sun or renting a golf cart that it cost 400 bathis. If you do decide to do your tour on a golf cart remember that you need to leave your drivers license at the rental place until you bring back the cart. The building are beautiful but some of them needs some renovations or touch up on paint, some are very deteriorated. Also you are not allowed to enter in any of the buildings. Is a beautiful place that is worth it to visit.
Julito R — Google review
I don’t think this place worth to visit. They have 35 buildings inside and only to allow to come in 4 buildings, and those are not important. So, mostly it’s just walk, walk, and walk or you can pay for golf car bring you around. The information wall and leaflet is very poor. I hope some low-budget traveller can avoid this place.
An Do Truong — Google review
This place is well maintained, quiet and clean. Good place for walking. Many tour guide include this place in their package but this place is not so interesting. Main palace is under construction now, Dec 2022. You need to wear long pants to enter, you can buy thai designed long pants at souvenir store beside entrance if you forgot to wear that. It costs around TB100.
Yosuke — Google review
This is one beautiful place to visit. The summer palace is a place to see. It's around 46 acres and it had 39 things to see. Inside it's a series of buildings each different and each beautiful. The landscaping, and bridges, are great places for pictures. They have this building that looks oriental with these beautiful intricate design doors. I recommend checking it out. One of the awesome things about the palace is that you can rent a golf cart and drive around the property. They do ask for a driver's license. The place had good shade all around. Big trees and a shady walkway. This palace grounds is different from any of the other palaces. It's very pretty here.
Judy Sun — Google review
This place is gorgeous. You can really see the different architectural influences in the sections of the palace. Super hot, so you have the option to either walk, bike or golf cart around, but it's walkable. I enjoyed having a little introduction to the place and then allowed to wander on our own. If you're in the area definitely give it a look around.
Christianne Reyes — Google review
This Renaissance, Rococo and Chinese-inspired palace is a sight to behold! It is absolutely beautiful, combining the best of all three cultures: Thai, Chinese, and European.
Unlike what others are saying, I really don't think renting a golf cart is worth it. We only had 45 minutes to see the entire thing and in about 15 minutes we'd walked all the way to the end comfortably. We didn't have as much time as I'd wished to stand and behold, but that definitely means that, unless you are physically handicapped, a golf cart doesn't seem worth the price (honestly, even if it was free I still wouldn't take it).
Ivo Fernandes — Google review
Beautiful Palace grounds, bring your drivers licence(yes) and a form of ID, so you can rent a golf cart for an hour. Cost of cart, 400baht. Although it’s hot you must cover yourself when entering. Legs and shoulders and arms. Long sleeve top and bottoms, not even 3/4 pants allowed. Simples. They have stalls outside that will sell you thin clothing for this.

What a great time this is. The history and architecture are amazing.
Bang Pa-In, located in Thailand, is renowned for its stunning architecture, particularly the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace. Visitors often praise its picturesque gardens, ornate buildings, and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the area offers a glimpse into Thai history and culture, making it a worthwhile destination for travelers interested in exploring the country's heritage. However, like any tourist destination, it's advisable to check recent reviews and consider factors such as crowds and weather before planning a visit.

I fell in love with this place. It's so pretty and well maintained. If my memory recalls correctly, this is the summer palace built by King Rama X. You'd have a chance to view the architecture from different countries in one shot.
SS Chua — Google review
Even though the location is not as large as Ancient City and you can walk around, but I tell you, take the golf cart for rent. It's THB 400 but it's super worth it.
This is really a beautiful place with European style building. The breeze really calmed me and the clean air was such a paradise. Sadly you can't enter every building tho.
Sandra Salzani — Google review
I was not allowed in with shorts even though I have been to actual temples wearing shorts. I had some long pants to change into.
Once you get in, you realise how big the place is and have to pay 400 Baht for a golf buggy or walk kilometres in the sun.
Many of the buildings are very nice but the gold pavilion was covered for renovations.
The grounds are well maintained and it is worth a look.

We rented a golf cart for our party of four since one of us had a walking disability. Initially, we were not able to rent the cart since I didn't bring my physical driver license and passport. But, luckily my Thai driver was able to speak with the office and let us rent the cart. There is a nice museum in the middle of the palace ground (but with no AC). The visit to the palace took about an hour.
Sam Lee — Google review
Bang Pa-In Palace is like a fairytale escape, nestled a bit away from Bangkok's buzz. With its stunning architecture and serene gardens, it's a must-visit. Be warned, though – it gets pretty hot exploring the grounds. To beat the heat and cover more ground without tiring, consider renting a golf cart for 400 THB. It's a comfy and stylish way to get around. Just remember, you'll need to bring your driving license and identity card, as they'll be held as a deposit at the rental office. It's a small price for a lot of conveniences and the chance to fully enjoy everything the palace has to offer without breaking a sweat.
J Cheung — Google review
Also known as the summer palace, bang pa-in palace is spread across a large area. There are golf carts you can rent to make getting around easier as the sun can be scorching. The architecture is surprisingly European as King Rama V had it done in this style. There's an intricate building done in Chinese architecture at the back.

Very picturesque beautiful scenery.
You can also buy bread buns to feed the hungry fish in the lake, if you so wish.
Arrive early and you will miss the school tours and most of the tourists.

jsnider303 — Google review
Buildings are good, I just hope they have more things to see and information to share especially since it's a residence of royalties.
You can rent golf cart (max. 4 people) for 400 BAHT -- I don't recommend if you'll have time to roam around since the vicinity is small but definitely a must for groups with old people and kids to avoid heat too.
Strict when it comes to dress code so come prepared. Entrance fee is 100 BAHT for foreigners.
Their toilet are clean and well-maintained which I like.

This palace was known as the summer palace for the Royal family first built in the 17th century. However, the Palace was destroyed. King Rama IV restored the palace in the mid-19th century. The complex is well preserved, and the grounds are beautiful to walk. None of the buildings were open, but I still enjoyed my visit. The dress code is very strict. Male and female guards are at the entrance approving or disapproving your attire. There is a shop at the entrance for you to purchase what is needed. Certain types of cameras are not allowed either. If you don't feel like walking, you can rent a driving cart. I noticed that people walked past things like the walkway leading to the entrance to the summer palace. There was a sign with a car in a circle with a line through it. They thought it meant do not enter. The message was for driving carts not to enter. The lake is in front of the summer house. It would be dangerous to have carts and people in front of the summer house because there is no railing.

Safari World Bangkok is a popular zoo and entertainment park in the heart of Bangkok, drawing both tourists and locals alike. This expansive 480-acre park, established in 1988, offers an immersive experience into Thailand's diverse wildlife. Divided into two sections - Marine Park and Safari Park - visitors can explore a wide range of animal habitats. The park features safari rides, marine attractions, live feedings, and thrilling stunt shows that cater to both education and entertainment.
Wonderful place to visit for day out. Very refreshing and green. Great maintainance and wonderful animal shows. Great view. Wonderful safari.

Nice zoo! All animals are energetic and beautiful here. You can see how they care about the animals by creating the most wild-like environment!
Also, the feeding activities are very interesting (but pricey😓). You can feed baby tiger, giraffe, kangaroo, camel, and etc.
Randy Chiu — Google review
It's a great place to spend the day, loaded with a variety of shows and animals. Macaws, a Walrus, Meerkats, Kangaroos, an Owl, Turtle, Pelicans, Flamingos, and more were there. I attended the Orangutan show, Spy Wars, Elephant show, Dolphin show, and Sea Lion show. While the Dolphin show is considered the highlight, I personally preferred the Sea Lion show. Additionally, the Elephant painting was quite interesting to see. I skipped the cowboy show as it got too hot. I would recommend bringing a cap/hat, umbrella, and sunglasses if you're visiting in the hot season. A major drawback here is that they don't allow food or drinks inside; you have to purchase them inside, which is slightly more expensive.
Later, I visited the open zoo adjacent to the park. You can see it when you go to the Giraffe feeding area - carnivores animals are kept in another section bounded with electric fencing. It was nice to see the animals roaming around, but as it was very hot, even the tigers were inside their puddles.

Exploring Safari World in Bangkok, Thailand was a fantastic adventure, and the shows were undeniably a standout feature of my visit. The entertainment options were diverse and thoroughly enjoyable, catering to a wide range of preferences.
The variety of shows, from animal performances to thrilling stunts, kept me engaged and entertained throughout the day. The level of skill and coordination displayed by the performers, coupled with the unique blend of wildlife interaction, added an extra layer of excitement to the overall experience.
One of the highlights was witnessing the incredible intelligence and talents of the animals showcased in the performances. The shows not only provided entertainment but also offered valuable insights into the natural behaviors and abilities of various species.
Moreover, the interactive elements allowed visitors to feel more connected to the wildlife. Whether it was getting up close to the animals or participating in activities, the shows at Safari World created a sense of immersion and engagement.
The seamless combination of entertainment and education made the experience not only enjoyable but also enriching. I would highly recommend Safari World to anyone seeking a day filled with fun, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of wildlife.
One can feed various animals or take pictures with them all at the prices mentioned there. The shows are timed so make sure to be mindful about the time and reach the show to watch fully.
Aiswarya B — Google review
A very good place to visit. The shows they're playing is good we had no time to see the sea lion show due to our time schedule so please try to enter the place in the morning itself, we saw dolphin show, elephant show and one spy war show these all were really good.We can see every animal living in the forest and they are all together living in one compound. Only lions,tigers and bears were separated from them for a longer life for other animals 😅. It's a wonderful experience. We can ride with our own vehicle and that's a good thing. Only thing to remember is to close the windows and not drive fast inside this perimeter .

This is an amazing place and a must visit place when in Thailand. There are various shows such as Dolphin, Orangutan, Elephant, Spy /Stunt, Open zoo / Safari. The shows are amazing and well planned. This is a full day activity, so ensure that you take caps, water and all items for the entire day.
There are Indian Restaurants and various food options available inside. We went to a restaurant called Savanna which offered a Indian buffet.

Fun and elegant experience with nature and it’s wild. It’s well maintained and each n every animal is taken care of. No usage of drugs. No torturing of animals. Shows that happen in Safari World shall be conduct in ENGLISH rather than their own national language, so that everyone including the foreigners can understand whats going on. Must visit place in Thailand.

Went here today this is what I thought of the place
1—-managing a park I will give them -10 , you turn up the ticket counters are a mess someone people are following politeness and lining up and other just walk in and go up to the counters so there is no one from management ensuring the smooth flow of people doing the right thing
2— extremely very busy park we went on a Friday and you have to really push people if you wanna watch a show very very busy
3—-they say no bottles and food allowed because they want you to buy their overpriced water and drinks and food
4— all the animal parts you go to every single one of them they wanna make money from you by selling you a bucket of food for 150-200 local currency
5— not the cleanest park I guess it’s a huge park and may be less staff don’t know
6—- the animals did not look healthy to us it was a hot day and they were all grasping for air may be not enough shady areas for animals
7— they had few shows we watched 4 of them you have to make sure you really rush to get good seats or else forget it don’t bother even watching them
8— every single thing inside the park you wanna do you pay extra
9— parking is free
10- safari park now that was. The best part of the trip
11- will highly recommend do not go in the zoo bus paying 100 local currency per person you won’t have a good time at all
12-we rented a car and went inside the safari in our rented car best experience ever
13- certainly I would say they could improve the park
14- tiger lions areas was the best worth it
15- drive your own car you can park in the tigers encounter and just stay in your car and watch them a very good experience indeed
16- there is a seven eleven right next to the exit so you can go get your normal priced drinks and food
17- you would need the whole day easy .
18- we came across some polite staff and some very very very horrible staff that was not a nice thing to do see specially towards kids so that was not a nice thing
I would certainly recommend the place worth. A visit

I literally have no suggestions they are functioning with such magnificence. Good Luck to all the crew and workers.

You have to visit this place if you are visiting Bangkok with family and kids. Huge zoo area, neat and well maintained animal cages. The ride at the entrance will give you experience of roaming in the jungle and witness wildlife in their natural habitat. The experience is amazing.

If you love wild life, you have to visit this place. Especially if you have kids. So many shows to watch. Elephant show, Dolphin show, Orangutan Show and most favourite Sea lion show. You need a lot of time to explore the entire park. Wonderful experience for a family outing. Most shows are in Thai language. Thats the only drawback.
Amit Beloshe — Google review
It was a busy day at Safari World. They offered a bus for an extra 100 because walking inside the zoo isn't allowed. Maybe renting a car is better for seeing the animals. The animal shows are a bit crowded, making finding a seat difficult. If you want to feed the animals, you need to pay extra for their food. Also, they don't allow outside drinks or food.Despite the challenges, it was definitely worth it.

Safari World was a blast! Loved the stunt and animal shows, especially seeing the animals chilling in their natural spots. The elephant and dolphin shows were my absolute favorites.

Located within the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, also known as Wat Phra Kaew, is a must-see attraction. The temple houses a revered 26-inch emerald Buddha statue and is considered one of the most sacred temples in Thailand. Legend has it that this precious statue originated in India and brings prosperity to the countries where it resides.
We were lucky enough to go to the grand palace and the temple of the Emerald Buddha, while Thailand is still empty due to covid restrictions and a slow restart tourism. It was absolutely incredible. There were probably less than 100 people on the entire premises during our visit. It is spectacular and well worth the visit even if the crowds were much denser. If you take the boat, finding entrances somewhat tricky so do your research.

Even as local, I still can't get enough of this temple. It's elegant craft and detail worked that's go into building this temple is absolutely astounding. It can get very how during the day (especially during the Summer) best time to visit is very early in the morning when the temple just open. It's also good to try to avoid the crowds. Make sure to take the time to enjoy the wall painting along the temple.

The inside of this temple is as impressive as the outside. You can visit as part of the Grand Palace entry.
You can only take photos of the outside of the temple, but it's well worth taking the time to sit down inside and drink in the details. The free brochure they give you at the ticket entrance has a good quick read on the history of the Emerald Buddha.

Cool to walk around in the royal palace area! So much to see and explore! The details is so beautiful! Loved my time here! But you should know that it is extremely crowded, so you have to force yourself through a lot! And it is a bit expensive with 500 baht

The time that was taken to construct these temples is heavily felt upon approaching this place. I took advantage of the prayer rooms, the outdoor prayer stations, and taking in the beauty. I met people from all over the world and had great exchanges. As a Christian, I was still able to respect and appreciate another religion and how our beliefs and faith bring us together in such a positive way.
Tips:
-Dress modestly
-Wear socks because some places prohibit shoes
-DO NOT get a Buddha tattoo

Located on a hill with a beautiful location, you can overlook the coastal city of Pattaya. The temple was built with unique architecture and is very typical of Thai culture. Very beautiful and dignified. The tour guide shared about the culture and spiritual beliefs here. The pagoda stands out with a majestic large golden Buddha image. 2 dragons spit out a 7-headed snake. A spiritual place you should visit once!So beautiful!..

Not to be missed when visiting Bangkok. The ticket includes entry to this temple and the Grand Palace (actually this temple is part of the Grand Palace). It includes also a traditional dance show at a nearby theater. It is worth watching it and there are free shuttles just outside the temple. Following Lonely Planet's advice I looked for a guide inside. There were no guides, except for a free tour run by the administration that I believe runs 4 times a day (10, 10:30, and another 2 in the afternoon). Unfortunately, I had hard time understanding the guide (the mask certainly didn't help), so I quit the free tour and followed the free brochure (they have them in several languages) and I was just fine going with that. Most of the people were with guides hired outside the temple and they seemed to do well. It gets quite warm during the day, so my advice is to be there early. There is a lot to see, plan for at least 3-4 hours (combined with the Grand Palace). One more thing, you can't take photos or videos inside the temple.

Was very crowded inside the temple. Would be a good idea to limit the amount of people inside at a time to allow a more enjoyable experience. Prayer can be difficult with everyone trampling around taking selfies and such, not to mention how loud it can be. 5 stars for Buddha, 2 stars for organization.

Everything here is well preserved, the emerald Buddha is kept in the ordination hall or bot.
No photos taken allowed inside the hall so no pictures of Emerald Buddha to share, but it’s magnificent and majestic. I’m proud to be Thai and once in life to visit there.
No shorts 🩳 or revealing outfit allowed there be prepared before step into the temple and after your trip has finished don’t take any taxi 🚖 from there it’s not ordinary taxi the cost way too high I recommend to take a bus go anywhere that far enough from that area then you can take a taxi.
On the way to get there no problem to use taxi or Grab but the way back is super difficult.

If you were to visit only one temple in Bangkok, it might as well be this one. As glamorous and grandiose as a temple can get. Without mentioning the beautiful gardens and scenery.
They change guards periodically and go marching in groups around protecting the palace. As long as you're respectful and don't break any rules, you should have a great time.
And if you happen to be a Buddhist or have similar beliefs, then you'll have a wonderful time.
Even kids might enjoy seeing the giants and sculptures all over the place.
Don't skip on the museum of the Queens fabric. No pictures are allowed on most of the classic dresses and outfits.

The most magnificent and gorgeous temple in Bangkok!
If you only had one day for your trip, definitely visit this temple.
The inside ornaments and design is stunning. The outside is garden is perfect. There are people praying and singing mantra, although I don’t understand Thai, it is a good experience to see this place is still practical in use.

We were lucky enough to go to the grand palace and the temple of the Emerald Buddha, while Thailand is still empty due to covid restrictions and a slow restart tourism. It was absolutely incredible. There were probably less than 100 people on the entire premises during our visit. It is spectacular and well worth the visit even if the crowds were much denser. If you take the boat, finding entrances somewhat tricky so do your research.

Very beautiful, culturally rich place. You visit here on a combine ticket that you buy for Grand Palace. Must visit place when you are in Bangkok. It provides for a history and the temple is so beautifully designed. The total price of the combined ticket is 500 Thai baht that includes visit to Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, Museum and the Thai theatre show.

Amazing thai architecture seen in this, the grand palace and the emerald buddha, both are interlinked!! For foreigners they charge a fee of thb 500 for both the emerald buddha and the grand palace!!! Kindly keep in mind no shorts, no torn clothes are allowed, your body should be fully covered!! If not you can buy a Saigon right in front of the temple!!! The place is huge and well maintained

Title: Timeless Majesty: The Grand Palace of Bangkok
A visit to the Grand Palace in Bangkok is a step into a world of unparalleled grandeur and history. The intricate architecture, vibrant gardens, and revered Emerald Buddha create an aura of reverence. The palace's diverse buildings, adorned with captivating art, provide insights into Thai culture and history. A symbol of Thailand's heritage, the Grand Palace stands as a remarkable blend of spirituality, artistry, and regal splendor.

Amazing place! Lots to see! Definitely worth the money!
Be careful; lots of tuktuk drivers will lie to you and say it’s closed. Just checked their website before and you’ll know for sure.
There is a common scam that they’ll do right and bring you to the lucky Buddha instead as it’s closed to tourists
Gavin Gauthier-Wiebe — Google review
Iconic tourist destination, filled with Thailand's cultural diversity, stories and much more.
The statues and golden Temple blinking in the mid-day sun is just an amazing sight. You have to look up close at the wall, the pillars, the statues to see the details, the complexity which artists put time into.
Around the main site, there is wall mural with so much stories, arts for you to enjoy. If you want to deeper understand the story behind the mural, rent an audio tour or get a tour guide to tell you its story. Magical.
However, be sure to bring an umbrella or you'll have a head-ache from the sun and the bright view of the golden temple.
Nguyên Tân Vũ — Google review
Is it nice to visit? Sure. Is it worth 500B? I absolutely don’t believe so, especially for a religious site where Thai residents can enter for free but tourists get overcharged. You will need to wear long pants and cover indecent exposed body parts to enter. There are vendors right outside to sell you those at a marked up price.
Ticket includes free admission to an art museum that closes on certain days and a performance show to a theater nearby where you can get free shuttle to at the exit if you have the ticket. I highly recommend going to the Khao show because it is worth 400Baht alone and would make you feel like the 500Baht entrance ticket is somewhat worth it.
The temple itself is pretty nice to see but it’s very crowded nearly everyday. You can see the palace mansion on your way out. There is also an air conditioned museum on your way out.
This would have a higher rating if not for the overpriced ticket.
Sam — Google review
I find it difficult to come up with words to describe the experience of visiting this remarkable temple. Its opulence is extraordinary, and yet, upon entering I was filled with a sense of tranquility such as I haven’t felt in a while. Perhaps the sincerity of many of those who entered to worship had its effect on me. Regardless, this is a temple that must be experienced to be understood. No photos are allowed in the interior. I believe that’s the way it should be.
Reginald Williams — Google review
It is nice temple with lots of paintings of story of Ramayana in thai style.
The emerald buddha statue is precious.
We stayed inside the main shrine and chant along with monks.
Narayan Kharel — Google review
One of the most important and significant Buddhist temples in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, this sacred site draws locals who come to pray with white flowers. I found this tradition truly admirable during my visit to the temple. Moreover, the atmosphere inside was incredibly serene!
The artworks adorning the inner walls are truly astonishing and one could easily spend half an hour simply admiring them. However, it's important to note that using a camera inside the temple is strictly prohibited. The Emerald Buddha Idol, a divine masterpiece, left me in awe. Knowing that such a beautiful artistic, cultural, and religious relic originated from India filled me with a sense of pride as an Indian. (information sourced from the internet) Situated within the Grand Palace complex, this temple is accessible with the same ticket purchased for entry to the Grand Palace.

Yes, this is a must visit. Visiting the Palace is a buy-one-get-two event. In actuality, you'll probably spend more time in the religious portion of the palace (~10% of the site) than in the remainder of the grounds. There is enough to see to keep you busy for a few hours. And it is worth the hours! You will need a map to explore all the nooks and crannies. We walked the entire wall, looking at the artwork. You may want to bone up on your Hindu mythology; there are a lot of mystical creatures and magical bows. Expert tips - Yes, gentlemen do need long pants, which are available on premises, and cheaper (with better variety) if you buy them at a local shop. There is only one entry up on the NE corner of the walled complex. Google Maps show it correctly. I would not try to visit another site on the same day - a walk through, especially on a hot day, is more than enough. I'd recommend staying up in Khao San Road for a few days and visiting the other major sites in the "old city" at a more relaxed pace.

Excellent experience overall, understand how rich Thailand culture and experience their history, Buddhism and architecture marvels. Emerald Buddha temple is huge and you feel very pleasant near the shrine of lord Buddha and the historic events carved around the temple walls. Outside of the temple has these emeralds, gems stone carved into the walls makes it more amazing. When you visit Bangkok this temple is a must to be in the list. If you are a historic person then must have. You can visit with family and kids. Buy the tickets at the temple, if you are a foreigner, the cost is 500 Bahts and get access to Emerald Buddha temple, Grand palace and Queen museum of arts and fashion.
Kiran Jd — Google review
Very nice Temple, it was the first temple that we visited in Bangkok from the list of 5, by far the nicest one. I really like that you have to take off your shoes before going inside the temple and they even show in front at the entry in the temple that you should not point your feet to Buddha.
The premises are wide, and there are lots of things to see, but it is very crowded.
We bought the tickets online so it was bit fast for us, they just had to scan it and in we were.

This is the most expensive ticket I have bought to visit a temple on my trip to Bangkok at 500baht. Although it was a beautiful place, I have enjoyed visiting the less popular temples in Bangkok. There are many tours going on so you keep hearing people explain things very loudly and situations like that.

The Grand Palace, a historic complex in Bangkok, was established in 1782 and is now open to the public as a museum. It features over 100 buildings constructed over two centuries, including Wat Phra Kaew, which houses the revered Emerald Buddha. The palace grounds are expansive and showcase stunning golden palaces, intricate Buddha statues, and more than 50 temples.
The dazzling, spectacular Grand Palace is undoubtedly the most famous landmark in Bangkok. It’s one must-see sight that no visit to the city would be complete without. It was built in 1782 and for 150 years was the home of the Thai King, the Royal court and the administrative seat of government.
The Grand Palace of Bangkok is a grand old dame indeed, that continues to have visitors in awe with its beautiful architecture and intricate detail, all of which is a proud salute to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Thai people. Within its walls were also the Thai war ministry, state departments, and even the mint. Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.

It's beautiful. The entry ticket is 500 baht. It includes the cost for 3 things. 1 of these things is at another location. The ticket is valid for 1 day for the grand palace and as far as I can remember, for 7 days for the other 2 things. It's better to keep 2 days to complete the grand palace visit. Unfortunately I went there on the last day of my tour and was able to see just the grand palace. The textile museum is also nice.

Amazing, lots of history and culture all in one place. The detail, and the vibrant colours are just superb. Well worth the 500 Baht. Only drawback is that it is so popular that you are always competing for space, or waiting for others to finish to take a photo, or having people walk into your shots.

Bangkok is one of the famous and attractive places among tourists and it is one of the highly recommended place for its tourist places.
Bangkok has so many places to offer and the list is so big that you can not finish in one tour. Among them few things you can not miss you you are in Bangkok.
Grand palace is one the places which you can not miss if your are planning your trip to Bangkok.
The Grand palace is basically the home of the king of the Bangkok and it is very nicely maintained. The place is full of the temples and the King palace with well decorated with varieties flower trees.
For locals it is free but chargeable for the foreigners.
Also to mention do not wear short dresses if you wish to go inside the compound.
We recommend to visit this place if you are in Bangkok trip.

It was a bit crowded on the day I attended, but that is to be expected at mid-day. Beautiful grounds, featuring artful topiary, breathtaking architecture, and the most epic tapestry that I have ever seen. It's definitely worth a visit, even if you're only in Bangkok for a couple of days.

Overall, it was a majestic experience. I highly recommend anyone visiting to borrow an umbrella near the ticket counter upon entering, trust me, it's a lifesaver against the scorching heat. The heat literally burns you. Don't forget sunscreen too.
The palace complex is vast and filled with rich history and intricate details, especially the murals that tell many captivating stories. To fully appreciate the art and architecture, consider getting a guide. While there's a counter providing free tour guides in various languages, I found that the English-speaking guides were not as fluent as I had hoped, making it tough to follow along with the history being shared. it would be wise to find a proficient tour guide or to do some research before your visit. you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in the grandeur and storied past of these temples and palace . Oh , and when you're done, the umbrella can be easily returned at a booth near the exit, which is quite convenient.
All in all, the Grand Palace is a remarkable site that you shouldn't miss when in Thailand. Just come prepared and you'll have a much more enjoyable and educational visit. 5 stars for the overall experience!

Stepping into the Grand Palace of Bangkok is like stepping into a fairytale. The intricate details of the architecture and the vibrant colors of the buildings are breathtaking. The palace is a true testament to the rich history and culture of Thailand. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is a must-see, with its stunning gold-plated exterior and intricate carvings. The palace grounds are vast and offer plenty of opportunities for exploration. It's easy to get lost in the beauty of the Grand Palace and forget about the outside world. A visit here is truly an unforgettable experience.

Great place to visit. A lot of cultural significance, past residence of past kings. It has a lot of history for Thailand. Worth a visit but foreigners have to pay to enter. The most important emerald/jade Buddha is placed in one of the temples, and the architecture was great. No shoes entering the temple, have to wear long pants and no sleeveless.

Absolutely stunning. Lovey to walk around in the middle of a busy city and feel like your in a super calm environment. It’s busy but it still felt spacious once your inside.
500 baht for entry and then your set.
Make sure you take pants that cover full legs, or there is a shop at entrance that sell for 200 baht a piece.

Grand Palace is super huge and stunning place for sure!
When you visit Grand Palace make sure that you have time, it easily takes 2 3 hours for me to discover! (I didn't discover everything) 😁
I highly recommend anyone to visit during your time in Bangkok.
Ticket costs 500 baht and you can easily buy from entrance.
NOTE:
Since the weather is very hot and humid in Bangkok, you will wear shorts but don't forget that you are not allowed to visit Grand Palace with shorts, you need to wear long pants and if you didn't bring anything there are shops just cross the road, you can buy pants for very cheap like 100-200 baht. It's very comfortable and you can visit all the temples with it too.

My first impression about this place is “ Wow, i guess that’s the richest king for you” 🤣🤑🤑🤑 I can feel the wealthy vibes all around this place. And I wonder where the royal family residing now if the palace become tourist attraction. It’s majestic and well maintained. I just can’t handle the heat. Please visit earlier in the morning or better in the late afternoon and bring your iced thai tea, electric fan or you can also rent umbrella there.

Stunning buildings & architecture at The Grand Palace. We arrived here at approx 10am & it was very busy & very hot. TIP: make sure you have some water, a hat & sunscreen with you. Also check to ensure you have the correct attire to enter or you will be made to buy clothing in order to enter. We collected a free map inside & also signed up for a free tour in English, which lasted approx 30 minutes & provided you with some interesting historical facts. Well worth a visit.

Due to the pandemic there were hardly any visitors here and so there was time and space to enjoy it fully. Beware of scams and sellers around the place. Just ignore whatever they tell you. Remember to dress properly or you will have to buy some ridiculous body coverings. The palace is amazing and a must see place. Good to get a guide book to appreciate it fully. Buy tickets online to save time.

The Grand Palace in Bangkok is simply mesmerizing. Its intricate architecture and vibrant colors create a captivating experience. Don't miss the chance to see the revered Emerald Buddha, a unique and spiritually significant sight (and the most important Buddha in the country).

Can't get enough of the breathtaking beauty of this place! 🤩✨ The Grand Palace of Thailand has been the official residence of the Kings of Thailand since 1782. The king, his court, and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. Don’t forget to explore the rich history and grandeur of this iconic landmark when you visit Thailand! 🏰🇹🇭

The view of the palace buildings in Thailand style architecture, all ornamented colorfully, right in the entrance, is just stunning and eye catching. People just kept taking pictures around, trying to find the best angle to catch the impressive view of the palaces, statues, columns and the towers.
The place was very crowded with many tour groups, each one with its own guide, all of them shouting quite loudly, to explain the characteristics of the buildings to their group.
The entrance fee is 500 baht.
When going back to the hotel, taxis around this place were asking abusive fixed price for the ride, much more expensive than when arrived there.
It is better to take a bus, in a bus stop near to the exit.
JB Lee — Google review
What a magnificent place to visit. There was a good size crowd to get in, but it was only a short wait for the tickets and the queue was moving quickly to enter the Palace grounds.
Dress code is strictly adhered to, but vendors outside can provide you with the necessary cover, at a premium price, if you are unaware or forget to dress appropriately.
Can get scorching hot inside as there is little air circulating and a lack of shade from the sun. Taking water is definitely worthwhile on a hot sunny day.
There is a free bust to transfer you to the free cultural dance performance at the theatre. The show starts at 1pm and you really need to be at the Palace exit where the buses are by 12.45

"Visiting the Grand Palace of Bangkok was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I was captivated by the intricate architecture, rich history, and stunning craftsmanship. Google Maps made navigating the sprawling complex a breeze, guiding me seamlessly through the maze of ornate buildings, shimmering temples, and lush gardens. Thanks to detailed directions and real-time updates, I was able to make the most of my visit, exploring every corner with ease. Whether you're a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply looking to immerse yourself in Thai culture, the Grand Palace is a must-see destination, and Google Maps is the perfect companion for your journey. Five stars without hesitation!" 💯💯🇹🇭

I think everyone must see The Grand Palace at least once. I really enjoyed looking at the architecture.
First - cover shoulders and legs, men must wear trousers.
Two - avoid the tour guides at the front gate unless you want one (you buy your own ticket once inside), just walk through and the guards will wave you through security after checking that you are dressed appropriately.
Three - there is a machine you can buy tickets with card if you want to avoid the line at the booth.
Four - there are drink stalls at the beginning, middle and a cafe at the end.
Five - the first gold part with beautiful art is only the beginning, keep walking and you will get to the rest of the complex.

Worth to visit as you can see the building built with unique architecture and specific details structures in every building. One thing is you can not wear the short pants or skirt inside if you’re wearing that, you need to buy the clothes that they sell in the entrance to cover yourself for the girls. It’s better to bring your own water there and hat as usually so hot there. 🤩

The place is absolutely amazing, buildings are gorgeous, a real feast for the eye. There's no question of visiting it or not when in Bangkok, it's a hard yes. Not giving 5 stars because if you're not part of a guided tour, there's absolutely no information for the visitor. And facilities like toilets need an upgrade.

Easily spent half a day here. We opted for the free English tour which you join inside. It helps to have read a bit of the history of the palace before hand. In some of the buildings you need to take off your shoes before entering. Definitely need a hat and sunglasses when wandering around outside.
Helen Law — Google review
An absolute must-see in Bangkok. It is a magnificent place full of art and beauty. You will want to stay inside for hours. There are many things to see, and everything is so pristine that it feels unreal. The ticket is a bit expensive but it also offers the entrance to a dance show which is fantastic and you can return to the Palace if you wish another time. I personally loved it, and I would no doubt recommend this place to anyone coming to Bangkok. I got the audio guide, which was very useful to understand everything. To enter one of the main temples, you need to remove your shoes.

Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand
Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is a significant landmark temple in Thailand. The temple grounds offer a serene atmosphere and are home to a massive 46-meter-long reclining Buddha statue. Visitors can explore historic art, statues, and colorful murals depicting over 400 images of the Buddha. Additionally, the temple houses a traditional Thai massage school.
A safe, religious and wonderful environment amidst the crowded passages around. Wat Pho is a very energetic, historical place and the presence of Buddhists in this place has made it a special place for foreign tourists. This is a spiritual space, but full of color. When I was here for photography, I was very surprised by the cleanliness and beauty of all the structures in this place. If you are going to Bangkok as an active tourist, I suggest you go to this lovely place

The highlight of this temple is the giant golden 150 feet long reclining Buddha. The surroundings of the temple have a few pagodas and Wat Pho is just within walking distance (approximately a 10-minute walk) from the Grand Palace.
Wat Pho is now a center for traditional massage and medicine but was the first public university in Thailand to focus on religion and literature back then.
Other than the reclining Buddha and pagodas, there is nothing much to explore in this temple. It is advisable for visitors to strictly follow the dress code for any temple in Thailand including Wat Pho. Women must wear skirts or pants extending at least to the knee and strictly not wear a top that reveals bare shoulders.

Really pretty temple especially near sunset and it felt really tranquil too, very low traffic noises. However try to leave some extra time so that you can visit the other temple across the river as both close at 6pm. Ladies can enter the vicinity but if you wanna see the giant reclining Buddha or the prayer room you have to have a cover for your shoulders, there are some shawls that you can borrow at these entrances for free and make sure to return it when you’re done.

A must do visit. The reclining golden Buddha in Bangkok is an amazing sight. 200 THB admission fee to enter the premises. Stunning Buddha, 46 metres in length & 15 metres in height, which just about fits in the building. Lots of other smaller Buddha's & historical pictures & ornaments in the surrounding buildings. Do make sure you wear appropriate clothing when you visit!

The vibe is extremely positive here and it’s a must visit place as this is one of the tourist attraction. This place is maintained well and is neat. There’s a separate place to offer prayers and to burn incense sticks. Burn incense sticks only in the dedicated area allotted.
If you are buying a small Lord Buddha statue, do not place it down as this is considered disrespectful and please maintain dress code here as you will be asked to otherwise no entry into the temple.
If wearing clothing which has Buddha print on it then the entry into the temple is barred.
Please dress appropriately.

A wonderful temple. Thailand's cultural heritage is as always fascinating and awe-inspiring. The territory of the temple is quite large, it will probably take about one and a half hours to appreciate all the sights. I liked the mosaic structures in the courtyard of the temple and the interior painting of the temples and the variety of statues the most. Well, of course, the statue of the reclining Buddha looks very cool, as well as the painting on his feet. The entrance ticket costs 200 baht, also with the entrance ticket you can get a free bottle of water from the machine.

The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is an amazing sight. The figure is 46m long and 15m high, making it the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand. It symbolizes the moment when Buddha entered Nirvana, marking the culmination of all reincarnations.🤩✨All over the temple complex you will see the The 99 Pagodas and numerous Buddhas everywhere. The temple complex is massive so make sure that you don’t miss any buildings or landmarks. Very unforgettable experience for me.

One of the best temples I’ve seen on my trip so far. The 4 pagoda are beautiful and you get to see the giant lying Buddha up close.

Nice temple and near to the grand palace.
You need to wear proper clothes like no shorts, no revealing clothes ( above the knee,tube).
You need to take hat and umbrellas with you as the temperature is very hot and humid.
Advisable also to take extra shirts/clothes because you will sweat a lot and your clothes will get wet in just for few minutes!!!
Anyways,nice to visit when around the area.

We reached this place just before closing. The place shuts by 6:30. Because of this reason we got a very peaceful experience with very very little crowds. The budha statue is huge, and the scale can be experienced only in person. It is very hard to understand the scale from a photo. The place has a lot of cats also. This one of my favourite places in Bangkok.

Reclining Buddha is so big that we cannot see it at once and have to see it part by part. There are some spaces inside to view the part of it and you have to make a queue and wait until enjoying or taking pictures of it. I think building for this huge Buddha is so small that it is really crowded (hot as well).
Along with the size of this sculpture, it is also quite unique to enjoy the impressive patterns in his soles. Worth a visit if you visit Grand palace or place near this temple.

It is an interesting place to visit since it is big and stunning with beautiful structures. There are many super adorable cats here as well 🐈⬛🐈
Traditional Thai Massage is available
However it is very hot and full of tourists - big tour groups 🥵 Bring umbrella, fan and water 💦
Some of the tourists do not take off the shoes before entering the temple, as they did not observe the signage. This is frowned upon in Asia but there is no staff to advise them to take off their shoes.

Wat Pho is one of the most amazing temples we have visited. It’s must see. Make sure to bring a bottle water as you will spend hours there. There are tab water around where you can refill your bottle. The gardens around the temples are so beautiful. The inside temples are very calm and serene. We paid around $6 US dollars and it worth every penny.

Beautiful temple, open later than some of the smaller temples (closes 1930). Also known as temple of the reclining Buddha. It's actually a huge complex with multiple ornate buildings and stupas which are lit up at night. Spectacular to see day or night, can walk the grounds after 1700, but most of the buildings will be closed. 300B for entry.

This temple, in contrast to the bustling crowds at Wat Arun or The Grand Palace, offers a serene experience with plenty to explore. Personally, I found great enjoyment in my visit here.
The Reclining Buddha’s immense size makes it a challenge to capture the entire statue in a single photo. You can also spend 20 baht to get a cup of coins, and then putting coins into a queue of bowls.
The temple's layout is impressive, featuring four sets of towers positioned in different directions, each comprising four beautifully designed towers. Navigating through these architectural wonders is a visual treat.
Be prepared for a brief wait to enter the main prayer room as there is usually a queue outside. However, the experience inside is worth the wait.
To keep visitors hydrated, there's a convenient free water fountain on the premises. Overall, this temple provides a quieter yet enriching alternative, with its unique attractions and thoughtful amenities making it a delightful stop on your itinerary.

Stunningly beautiful temple! Visited at 8AM, minimal crowds for great photos. Pair with the royal palace or Wat Arun. Entry for foreigners is 300 THB, but worth it. Spend 1-2 hours exploring the grounds and architecture.
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a grand Buddhist temple situated on the west side of the Chaophraya River in Thonburi, Bangkok. Its iconic central spire is adorned with intricate tiles and stands out with its colorful and detailed design. The temple's history dates back to King Taksin's restoration in 1768, giving it a significant place in Thai heritage.
This temple is the highlight of Bangkok and maybe Thailand, and rightly so. The site is compact, so during busy tourist hours, it gets very crowded. Better visit early in the morning or just right before sunset as the air is more chill. There aren’t any roof so if it gets rained, then… oh well.
I wish there are more stories about the temple other than just a paragraph or two posted outside the temple.

Cool place. I am very glad that Thailand has such a respectful attitude towards its rich culture. The entire territory of the temple looks very beautiful and well-kept. The skill and imagination of the sculptors amazes me. The entrance ticket costs 100 baht, and also at the entrance, all visitors are given a bottle of water along with the ticket. You can also get to the other side of the river by boat for just 5 baht. I recommend to try to see the beauty of the temple when you cross the river by boat.

Great place to visit, not expensive (100 thb cash) and complimentary water is included with your ticket. We had to take the boat to and from the temple which was easy enough. Make sure to walk fully around as there is more to it than the main temple. You can hire traditional this outfits to be photographed in which seemed popular

Wat Arun is absolutely a place you should visit when in Bangkok. I arrived before sunset, around 5 pm, as they close at 6 pm. It’s on Friday. Be ready for crowds if you come around this time. The weather is already not too hot, and the sky displays its prettiest blue and yellow colors. Outside the entrance gate, you'll find many shops that rent traditional clothes for taking pictures, all of them beautiful. The temple has many intricate details. As the sun sets, the sky transitions from orange to pinkish-purple. It’s also recommended to observe this temple during sunset time as it looks majestic.

Wat Arun is a jewel of the architecture so characteristic of Thailand. The temple, according to the luminosity, to appear white and all in embroidery with the many details which decorate it. It's rather extended and it's necessary to think of going on the right of the temple when one is in front of it, there are splendid Buddhas to be discovered and other temples in the complex.
I strongly advise to go there early in the morning because it's quickly taken by many instagrammers who spend hours to be taken in pictures at the same place, making then the taking of picture of the temple complicated ...

One of the most iconic temple in Bangkok. It is a very beautiful and spectacular temple. It is best taken pictures during sun rise or sun set. It is very well maintained cleanliness. This temple can get very touristy as it is very photogenic temple. So ensure to get there early to avoid the crowds. At the entry of the main temple there are many tourist dresses in traditional Thai dress, so at time it get difficult to take pictures on the lawn of the temple.

Love the temple and the overall experience. The temple are actively used so there will be some sections that is forbidden to enter. There's a market here selling Thailand souvenirs like shirts, fridge magnets and key chains. The temple is so magnificent and beautiful, as the restoration was recently completed in 2017. There is also a costume rental for tourists that wants to get photographed in traditional Thai attires.
Tamado Sitohang — Google review
Incredible architecture. The temples were well maintained and so rich in history. I think they did a great job with ensuring that the temple remains a place of worship for locals yet a place for tourists to experience and learn about their religion, culture and history. Guides are available (might be at a cost). Tickets were 100 baht each.
Tips for visitors,
1. Bring a hat or umbrella - it's really sunny
2. Follow temple rules on proper attire - If you need a long skirt or shawl for covering up, you can borrow one from the temple.
3. Wear easy to slip on and off shoes - you'll be required to take off your footwear to enter the temples
4. At the exit, you can take a boat across the river to visit another famous temple.

Beautiful Buddhist temple. Very easy to get to from across the river by ferry. The ferry leaves every 5 minutes and costs only 5 baht. Extremely popular but still easy to visit with no waiting. The ticket price of 100 baht includes a small bottle of water. Clean restrooms are available on the premises.

This place (can be) crowded. However, this is actually a cool temple. Yes it costs a little to get it, but it's really worth the view. You can pay a little extra and dress up in a period costume for some pictures, however given how crowded it is, be prepared to share your photo with about 5000 of your newest best friends. The steps are very step, be careful! You want to also be aware that, given the amount of people here, you need to watch your wallet. Also some people are more concerned with getting a good photo than they are with their own personal safety, as a result on these steep steps; accidents can happen. There's a gift shop inside, but most of the food and drinks are more expensive than outside.

Wat Arun Temple in Bangkok is undeniably stunning with its intricate architecture and rich cultural significance. However, the overwhelming crowds can diminish the overall experience, making it challenging to fully appreciate the serene beauty of this historical site. Consider visiting during off-peak hours for a more tranquil visit.

Although I waited for while to visit Wat Arun, I'm happy that I was able to make time to share my experience with a childhood friend. There is so much to take in here. The ground are quite expansive and the buildings too numerous to list. It is best to look at my photos since a picture is worth a thousand words. We arrived early in the day to avoid the heat since there is not a lot of shade to protect you from the searing sun. There are drinks and ice blocks available to cool give you a respite while waiting for your return boat to your point of departure.

As a photographer, I get really excited when I enter a place that is full of beautiful structures and different colors. Especially when I realize that it is one of the most important places in the city and has a part of the history of that city. Do not forget this wonderful place when traveling to the beautiful city of Bangkok. fantastic.

This is one of the must-see temples in Bangkok. It’s very well kept and there are events held in the evening on the temple grounds. There are a few shops selling traditional Thai dresses for women and there are several boat docks that can take passengers to the other side of the river for a cheap price. The temple itself is beautiful and you can ascend the main central spire to get a good look at the Buddha relics within and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend checking this place out on your trip to Bangkok.

Absolutely beautiful temple. There is detail on every part all the way up which was a sight to behold. We really enjoyed walking round and taking it all in. Well worth a visit! I arrived wearing shorts as we didn't first plan on visiting but they provided fabrics for free for while you were on the grounds. Food and drink available on site.

Amazing and iconic architecture. Definitely visit this and marvel at its beauty once you're in Bangkok.
Note:
100 Baht fee for foreigners.
Please wear modest clothing (t-shirts at least, fully covered legs).
Do NOT show any tattoos, especially if it's of the Buddha himself.

This is one of the best landmarks in Bangkok. Wat Arun also known as Temple of the Dawn. You need to cross the river to visit this place where you need to spend 10 baht to and fro. This is the place having relics of the budhha. The architecture is stunningly beautiful. One should visit and have lots of photos. This place ticket price is 100 baht for foreigners.

Gorgeous temple and grounds. Give yourself an hour to be able to meander and explore every angle properly. Fairly busy but still incredible to see and find your picture spot. We did this on the way to grand palace since the stop there from the river is closed. You have to come to Wat Arun and transfer to a short river cross to get to the palace.

A beautiful and unusual temple, mainly outdoors. A real must see and the traditionally dressed Thai visitors bring some amazing additional colour to the temple. You cannot go to the top but it has so much detail to admire its still a definite place to visit.

Must visit Wat Arun when you are in Bangkok! Entry free cost $200 baht and they close at 6pm. Seeing the temple in person upclose is truly extraordinary and also awe inspiring from afar during sunset when the temple lights up.
Really busy and there are a lot of costume rental stores nearby that you can dress up for $150 baht and hiring a photographer is additional!

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a temple that you should not miss. However, I am giving it only a three-star.
Pros:
Wat Arun boasts a striking and iconic structure, best appreciated from the boat as you cross the river. The temple's exterior is adorned with vibrant porcelain tiles and seashells, forming a captivating mosaic that glimmers in the sunlight. The central prang (tower), surrounded by four smaller prangs, stands tall and invites visitors to climb its steep stairs for panoramic views of the river and city.
After you purchased a ticket, they stamp your wrist and give you a complimentary bottle of water, a thoughtful touch that sets Wat Arun apart from other famous sites in Bangkok..
You can also borrow traditional Thai clothes and even hire a professional photographer to help you get the best pics once in Wat Arun.
Cons:
This site is pretty small and it becomes way too crowded once most of the visitors have photographers taking photos for them. It is difficult to enjoy the place if you are constantly reminded by others “not to block the photographer”.
One improvement could be providing more detailed explanations about the temple beyond its physical structure. This would enhance visitors' understanding of the historical and cultural significance of the site.
For those who are not going to hire a photographer, 30-35 minutes may suffice to explore Wat Arun. Despite the drawbacks, the temple's stunning architecture, the unique mosaic, and the opportunity for panoramic views make it a worthwhile visit. Consider visiting during less crowded times to fully appreciate its beauty and historical value.

I suggest more safety precautions such as wearing a safety belt or helmet etc. are required for those who wants to go up to pagoda/prang(very high and very steep stairs) .

One of the lost beautiful places we've been so far, the attention to detail and these buildings is something else. Extremely hot day but well worth it as you nip in and out of different temples and see the amazing sights from thousands of years ago! It almost takes your breath away see how high the buildings are and how steep the steps are, one of our favourite places of the day
James Hinchliffe — Google review
A very famous temple in Bangkok so when you visit you will see a lot of tourists. The pagoda has many tall towers with very steep steps. The highest ancient towers of the pagoda are only accessible on the lower floors, the entrance to the upper floors is locked. Here, many female tourists rent ancient Thai costumes to wear for photos for 300Bath. Entrance fee to visit the temple is 200Bath. Boat ticket from BTS station is 30Bath/way. The worshiping areas are located behind the main pagoda. The architecture of the worship area is beautifully plated with gold. However, the boat waiting area is a bit small and cramped. In Thailand monks are highly respected. On public transportation, monks are always given the highest priority.

158 Thanon Wang Doem, Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600, Thailand
The Ancient City, also known as Muang Boran in Thai, is a vast outdoor museum that spans 240 acres and is designed to resemble the shape of Thailand. It features over 100 miniature replicas of famous Thai buildings and sites, including temples, palaces, pavilions, and stupas. These replicas are meticulously placed in geographic precision to their real counterparts. The museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore historical sites up close and gain insights into Thai history through these accurate representations.
This is certainly a must for anyone visiting or living in Thailand. The Ancient City is the largest outdoor museum in the world, preserving Siamese true heritage. The Ancient City allows both foreign and Thai nationals to appreciate the history of Thailand. There are 121 sites, some are reconstructed on a scale of about 1 in 3 while others are as big as the original. One can hire a bicycle, an electric bike or even a golf cart to travel around the plus/minus 200 acres. If you have your own car, you can enter the city at a fee.

Massive museum park with stunning architecture! Make sure to set aside a whole day if you want to get the full experience. The self-drive mini-cart is the best way to get around IMO. There are also bikes for rent if you want to burn calories while exploring the park. The guided tours are great but only stop at a few locations. Overall, one of the best experiences in Bangkok for architecture and history buffs. As a bonus, You will also get to see some local wildlife around the park.

Lovely experience. The temples and shrines are beautifully done to the smallest level of detail. I recommend renting a buggy and each person having a personal umbrella to cover from the sun. Don't forget your sun block and drink plenty of water. Took us a good 1 hour to drive through the entire park and made around 3-4 stops to experience the temple. You can easily spend half a day there but the heat was unforgiving at the time.
Amer Sharaf — Google review
Although the ticket is a bit expensive, it’s worth to go.
We drove in the place by adding 400b more for the car. It’s convenient and nice. There are also other choices like golf cab or bike which are also good. We stayed there for about 4 hours but definitely can be longer if you are not tired.
The maintenance is quite good. So you can really enjoy some good views. Snack counters and toilets are sufficient. Toilets are clean and with proper papers.
Overall, it’s a good experience.
Justina Lee — Google review
Very big and around 10km in total. You can easily spend whole day here if you want to explore and visit all the attractions.
Important:
1.Bring extra clothes as you will sweat a lot (free sauna).
2.Bring extra socks also as you need to remove your shoes/slippers when you enter the temples.
3.Take the golf car not the bike because it’s very hot and sunny, or else you will get grilled easily.
4. Bring hat,cap,umbrella and folding fans to protect yourself from the super hot weather.
5.Buy tickets online as it is way cheaper.
You can buy food and water inside so no worries.
Better to get there earlier so you will enjoy and no photo bombers.

One of the largest outdoor museums in the world, constructed by Lek Viriyaphant. The site is set over a large area and features some beautiful reproductions of some of Thailand’s iconic and mythical buildings that you are free to explore at your leisure.
It takes around 2 hours to traverse the park by golf cart, which I highly recommend for shade and comfort as it makes the experience more enjoyable and offers relief from the sun.
Quick tip: book your tickets online as it is half price. They will.l not always inform you of this when purchasing tickets on the door. We bought them online while at the park gate and they were available immediately.

Great halfway trip from Bangkok. Very easy to reach. Take the green line to Keha and jump on one of the pick-up taxis waiting at the station (they are marked with a 36 on the roof). The ride to the Ancient City costs 10 Baht. Once at the entrance, tickets are 700 Baht (400 if you have a Thai work permit or driver's license; there seem to be discounted tickets available online as well so that's worth checking out). You can rent an e-bike for 250 Baht (3h, every additional hour costs an extra 100 Baht but 3h is doable even with a coffee break). The park is massive and very well taken care of. Was there on a slightly cloudy Saturday, perfect weather for some sightseeing, still there were very few people in the park. There are small coffee shops and toilets at every corner, super convenient. Lots of great photo stops, history and Thai culture to be explored. Cruising around on an e-bike is great fun. There's a lot to see and only two of the sites were inaccessible due to maintenance work. Once you're done, bring back the scooter and cross the main street via foot bridge on your left so you can wave down one of the pick-up taxis (again, 10 Baht, marked with a 36 on the roof). A great and fun getaway from the city!

The park area is very large, so I recommend taking a golf cart to move around it. We took many beautiful photos. However, it seemed to us that everything looked very artificial and a little toy-like. The park's disadvantage is the lack of greenery and the fact that all buildings are made hastily from cheap materials. Also, many objects are under reconstruction. We spent 3 hours in the park and didn't see everything. We were advised to book tickets in advance to get a discount on the price.
Despite some drawbacks, Ancient Siam is a great place for photo shoots. We took many beautiful photos and enjoyed visiting the park. If you are looking for a place for bright and memorable photos, this place is definitely worth a visit.

4. It was worth spending all the time.

Amazing place!
You can learn a lot of most of the wonders of Thailand in just one Park and very very affordable price (even if you buy the package including a nice Thai buffet lunch). Be aware to come early since it will take you long to see all the the scenes in this park (more or less 10 km). You can find gardens, statues, temples, recreations of monumental buildings, real elephants and other animals, restaurants, a museum, and even a small Thai farm-village.

Do not miss this place. Its about an hour away from the city centre but can travel easily by the hreen line metro and shuttle no 36. This place has more than 100 monuments, from across Thailand. Some are conceptual as well. We didn't take any golf car or bus, but would recommend it, especially if you are visiting during the summer time. However, not taking the bus would mean more time at every site and no rush. There's also a restaurant inside, which serves buffet. For a better deal, buy your tickets in advance on Klook and its better to include the buffet. The place is huge so even if there are visitors, there's no crowd.

Absolutely enjoyed it. Get the choice to rent a bicycle or a driver at the entrance. The service is already included in the ticket admission. We went for the bikes as we want to be more flexible when it comes to stopping and taking it in as opposed to having to be considered for other people. Also, it was a good exercise and the breeze was very enjoyable. The park itself is huge! So many beautiful things to see. Pagodas, temples, statues, gardens, ruins, boats, etc. The lost goes on and on. We were the only ones in the massive park when we arrived at around 10:30am. Nobody, but workers that helped maintaining the place, did we meet, which kind of felt like a VIP experience but on the downside, the park and the people are depending on the tickets so we hope that there will be a surge of tourists or more locals soon. COVID really made it a lonely experience since restaurants towards the center or the other end of the park were not even operating. The people deserve to be imbursed for their hard work and need it more than ever now!

The park is huge and the buildings are dizzying. The scenic spot provides golf carts, electric motorcycles, bicycles, and of course you can drive your own car. Personal recommendation, if there are few people, I recommend electric motorcycles, and if there are many people, choose golf carts. The entire scenic spot is still under construction, and each building is imitated very realistically. Every building wants to stay in the camera, which is suitable for playing all day. If there are some scenic spots in the park, you can check in here, and the effect is almost the same.

Perfect place to explore Thai culture. Accessible by BTS. I recommend borrowing a traditional costume (directly in the park) and then your pictures will be absolutely awesome. We had an amazing half day there. Park offers a lot of visitor facilities, and you don't need to bring anything with you.

Quite touristy, many of the temples are not originals and are either replicas or built with some "creative liberty". A very fun place to go and ride around, but expect tourist fun, not an authentic Thai experience.
Definitely get your tickets off of klook! It's much cheaper. And get a golf cart if you can, not many of the temples are worth going in but it's very fun to ride around the outside. The complex is huge so it would be very difficult to walk. Fun, but manage your expectations.

Ancient City has been regarded as one of the largest open-air museums in the world. Visitors can see many significant places in Thailand, for example, castles, palaces, temples, and sculptures. Some are models, but some are the originals that were taken from certain places. The exhibitions in the Ancient City are divided according to regions for visitors to enjoy and appreciate the core of the multi-faceted culture. The experience gives the impression of traveling the whole country within a day.

This place was awesome! We did not have enough time in 2 hours to go through the whole city. If you have the whole day, you could skip the golf cart rental and walk the entire place. If you need to finish in a certain amount of time, then rent a cart and park on the areas that are designated for the carts and walk portions of the city or just drive through and stop at the main sights. Please note that there are a good number of places that require shoes off to enter and some areas where no photos can be taken.

It's a really cool place! I wouldn't add it to the main attraction list when I am short of time in Thailand. It's more of a nice to have type of thing.A variety of temple representation from across Thailand. Make sure you buy your tickets online to save some money. The golf cart makes it even better it adds so much more to the experience. You can also find elephanta there.I think there are only 4-5 sightings worth visiting the rest you can drive past them. I strongly feel that the exhibitions themselves need to be maintained a bit more thoroughly. The rest of the park is really clean and well maintained. The staff is great and really helpful. Had a great time there.

This is a gorgeously designed and beautifully maintained representation of Thailand. They have segments of native structures and depict different stories across history. A definite must visit if you're in Thailand. Traditional music and food is available throughout. Since the coverage is so much, they have a train tour or you can take in your car or rent a gold buggy/ bicycle to move around. It's better to book the tickets online. When you head to the online booking counter, they hand you a map for easy guidance

This is a very beautiful place. Definitely a tourist trap, but a worthwhile one. Don't make the mistake of thinking the e-bikes would be fun...get a golf cart!!! They do not exchange or refund even after only a few minutes. E-bikes are not comfortable at all!!! We wasted quite a bit of money, but were much happier in the golf cart.

Awesome display of Thai culture. Added benefit we found elephants. We fed the elephants but did not ride. Also bikes and golf carts to get around. So big we could never walk every where 1 day. Also, they are very honest. Made a mistake on my credit card that I did not catch. They actually sent someone to find us to get issue fixed. Not many places would do that. I gave 5 stars for each point made above. The staff and attraction were Awesome. Highly recommend.

This attraction ranks among the finest I have experienced. From the architecturally stunning buildings and statues to the serene water features, every aspect is impeccably organized. The staff also contribute to the exceptional quality of the visit. Given the expansive nature of the area, I highly recommend utilizing a golf cart or an electric vehicle for navigation. Attempting to explore this vast space solely on foot could be quite challenging.

Definitely not a place you can easily walk through due to its massive size; transportation is a must! Unfortunately, bringing your own bike inside is not an option, but there are convenient rental choices available. The facility offers numerous restrooms and eat stations scattered throughout, with a buffet entry fee of 280 baht.
The attractions themselves are impressive, providing opportunities for great photos. Additionally, there's an option to rent traditional costumes for a more enjoyable experience. I appreciate their unique approach, as the exhibits are far from being too simple or generic; I’d say that there's a nice touch to every detail. Not every attraction is a must-see, after spending about half your time there, you'll likely grasp the overall concept and can enjoy the beauty from a distance as you drive through. There are certain areas where long clothes are necessary to cover your legs, but you can just borrow it.
4ish hrs is sufficient to explore the main attractions, drive through the entire area and take occasional breaks at the eateries. Might be different for a big family though, which is different from my experience.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo is an exotic destination that offers a unique experience of witnessing African mammals, tigers and apes in their natural habitats. Located amidst the hills and dense jungle, this zoo is divided into two zones - green and pink. You can choose to rent a tram or golf cart to explore the park. The animals are kept in their natural habitats, making it feel like you're on a real safari adventure.
I came here in the morning on the weekend. There weren't many people in the morning. Entry price is 250 baht for adults. If you come to Thailand, you should definitely come here. There are many animals inside. You feel very close to them as it is open zoo. You also have the chance to feed many animals. I fed an elephant and it was very enjoyable. There are also wild monkeys as it is an open zoo. You should pay attention to these. They can harm you or steal your belongings. Since the zoo is very large, I definitely recommend renting a golf cart. Not too expensive just 500 baht. 4 people can use it.

I like it, always nice to get some open air and interact with animals. some visits are up to the animals, are they sleeping, eating, playing. the set shows of the March of the penguins is constant and usually popular and can buy snack to feed them on stage. the swimming with elephants is always popular and when busy people need to que up early for the next show. feeding the elephants and giraffes is also popular and a good photo opportunity. this year traffic was down and there seemed to be less animals. they are also upgrading a couple of the parking lots. easy to park, can ride several available trolleys or rent a electric golf cart for a fee about 500 baht and up depending on size and time 4 seats or 6 seats a couple hours or more.
the carts are nice but the trolleys work well and you only need a cart to go to the big cat , guar, Australia section. the rest is close enough to walk easily.
watch out for the roaming monkeys. some are aggressive to snatch food or a purse out of your hands, will climb into carts looking for snacks. usually don't fear you and can chase a person out of a cart. if they see a cane, walking stick or slingshot they usually will leave you alone.
there are several well placed snack and restroom options.

When you enter the zoo, you think this is going to be an amazing place where all of the animals can roam around. Unfortunately, this is not the case for animals. The elephant show is too much! The chains before the show and so on are not okay - I wish my kid didn't have to see this.
Pink zone is very small, and after pink zone, there is nothing - the park seems to be abandoned at the end of the park - very strange feeling

Totally in love with this open zoo! This is my first time visit, staff is very nice and polite. We parked the car at parking lot, bought ticket, adult 150 THB each, and 80THB for parking lot. You can rent buggy 500THB per 2 hours (can sit up to 4) or EV 3 wheel bike 350THB per 2 hrs including insurance (can sit 2).
The zoo is very large, you can see and feed eld's deer outdoor. Many money! Be careful of you belogging, they love to steal things.
We rent EV 3 wheels bike and drove along the green zone, you can enjoy seeing hippo, sloth, capybara. They are all cute and look very healthy!
Overall i had a very good experience here and will definitely come back to see more shows.

1. It was a good zoo.
2. Some animals like seal and many others looked sad and almost about to die because of their isolation and drugs.
3. Golf cart is a must to roam around (extra charges).
4. The map of the zoo is available and the posters of the map too.
5. Feeding animals are also there but very sad to see them like that

Fantastic place to bring young kids and the family for weekends activities. Ensure to come to this zoo early in the day as it does get very hot after lunch hours. There's wide variety animals around the zoo and many of them, we can bring the young kids up close with the animals. Food and snacks sell in the zoo is selling at premium, hence I would recommend to bring some snacks for the family. The zoo is massive can and There's the zoo hourly bus that's goes around as well as you can rent the gulf cart to goes around. I would recommend to do planing well as it's impossible to see everything, best to prioritize and plan

One of Thailand's largest zoos contains over 300 animal species in the 2000 acre forest area. Buy the tickets at the entry or the new parking area and then take the free hop-in-tram bus or choose the golf cart (rates apply 550 Baht with the insurance for two hours). Go around the various themed zones and enjoy. Well-maintained, and the staff are kind to help. Every area has snacks, beverage stalls, food courts, 7-Eleven convenience stores, restaurants, and restrooms. You can drive the golf cart or your vehicle to zone 3. Children enjoy and have fun and exciting experience with nature.

A nice zoo for a family outing. The drive to the zoo was awesome; you have to drive around 5km in the depths of a rural area to get to the zoo and the air was amazing on the ride up. Golf carts of 4 and 7 seats are available for personal hire. There are 2 zones. Zone 1/ Zone blue is accessible by walking and golf cart. The majority of animals are there and are within their enclosures. There are monkeys running around so be careful of your belongings and not going near mother monkeys with children (they might bite ya >:3 ). Zone pink is mostly treaded by your own vehicle and has zones for different animals, i.e Australia zone and cat complex. It's a whole day thing and mostly outdoor so plan a whole day for this. Best for kids, since it's just a zoo and not much else. They do have animal shows which can be entertaining. Overall, a great place for a family outing.

Highly recommend renting your own buggy 500 THB and discover the zoo in the most exciting and convenient way. Before entering the zoo's big entrance, turn left and walk 2 minutes to the buggy station. The zoo is huge, walking is abit too much as there are many slopes, or you can take the public tram which runs very often. Many families ride the buggy with grandparents and kids, it is very adorable and fun. The animals here seem to be well taken care of as I noticed their living spaces are well built, clean and spacious. If you're on your way to Pattaya, this place is definitely worth a visit for 2hrs. There are many fast foods and refreshment stations inside with reasonable prices. There is a 7Eleven at the entrance. Easy to find toilets also, no tissue. Best to visit right after opening hrs to avoid the long queue at the buggy rental. You will need to deposit your ID for the buggy, and abit of good driving skill is highly recommended.

A very nice zoo. The monkeys walk around the park. It is very pleasing to the eye. It was disappointing to see that in part of the trip there were some cages that were a little empty. The advantage is that there are many food stalls throughout the park.

Better than Safari World! The golf buggy made it so much more fun and easy to get around the zoo in the heat! Love how some animals can roam around the zoo freely! Very recommended!
Nichi B — Google review
This is very poor value for money 350baht entry +500 for a golf buggy for 2, it felt more like visiting Jurassic park 2... There was no direction for the visit from the staff there.
There are hardly any animals in here compared to the past, many empty enclosures and there is no clear timetable for the shows which happen ~3x a day.
The enclosures are old, half abandoned, falling apart and the grounds are overgrown and unkempt. It felt like a ghost zoo.
We noticed one man zooming around on his moped the whole time shouting at the animals, waving a stick and throwing bananas into the enclosures to make it look Interesting. It was more disturbing.
Be warned the monkeys are roaming everywhere and will steal belongings if left unattended.
The caged cats look emaciated and show signs of stress, I left feeling so sad for the animals welfare/future.
I would have asked for a refund but by 4.45pm hardly any staff were around, I didn't see any near the exit.

This zoo is in the middle of Hills and real jungle ..animals are kept in natural habitats…there are two zones …green zone and pink zone. You can rent tram or golf cart to roam around..pink zone you can drive by yourself. They have most varieties of animals. Rhinos, white tigers and lions are most viewed. Admission fees for foreigner is 200THB and kids 100 THB..

Very big zoo, you can drive through on some parts, or rent a golf cart, there is tram.train too. There penguin, feeding and elephant swimming show. Lots of animals are open in the air. Some so close you can touch them. Great day out for a family with children.

Interesting experience at the zoo. Some shows included an elephant swimming and penguins walking to the stage to get fed by tourists or anyone who wants to pay money to feed them.
Very open zoo, did a lot of walking but preferably you should hire a golf kart or take the public round trip safari buses as each area is quite far from the other.
Place is still under construction.

+ You can buy cheap tickets when you arrive
+ You can rent a golf cart and drive around the whole zoo at your own speed.
+ Many animals to see, monkeys, deer, hippo, elephant, lion, tigers, birds, capybaras, giraffes and aquatic animals
+ Monkeys roam the zoo freely, don't get too close or they'll chase you
+ You can feed and interact with some animals. Such as penguins and giraffe.
Tantawat H — Google review
The space is beautiful and set in an already natural beauty. There is a lot of space and animals are a bit far from each other which makes me believe that it would've been nicer to see the animals with some more space. The enclosures are run down and sincerely too small, especially when there's so much space around.
A big chunk of the zoo is to visit by car seeing that each enclosure is 500m from the previous one. It would've been nice to see that info somewhere.
They basically feed the animals by selling the guests feed. Great business plan but still feels like a steal as every movement inside costs extra.
Not my favourite zoo, but not the worst either. I plan to return as I haven't had the chance to visit half of it and the kid loved it.
Pedro Bernardo — Google review
Best place to spend morning time with family. The park is full of green and feels more like in natural surroundings. Shows are in various areas and timings are different so better check in their website for more details. Renting a self-driving golf cart is best option if traveling with family.

Lot of monkey they are run freely around the zoo but they are super cute. And dont forget to watch the free show like penguin and elephant swimming. And here is really clean and the ticket is not expensive.

Could be better if more indicators signs would show where you are, where is the next place to visit. When you pay 300b for the entry, a paper map will be helpful. Chimpanzees or orangutans cannot be seen after 4pm, so you need to arrive early. Rent a golf cart because you will need to walk a lot!
Claude Xxxx — Google review
A nice place to hang out with family and friends. You can encounter animals closely. They have a good variety of animal species.
Renting a golf car which is 2 hours validated is the best choice to move around in the zoo.

We waited more than 30 minutes for the electric car. In the end we walked. The place needs cleaning (there seem to be penguins but the glass is dirty) the children liked the zoo, feeding the animals and the island with lemurs!!!

The Sanctuary of Truth Museum, also known as the Truth Temple, is an impressive 20-story complex in Pattaya that is still under construction. The entire structure is meticulously crafted from hand-hewn wood carvings, with a design style inspired by traditional Asian art and the grandeur of dynastic Siam. Visitors can explore the compound on guided tours available in different languages, where they can witness staff members carving intricate designs.
It’s not a historical spot to view, but very attractive and amazing. The museum started from the year 1981 and is still keep on making new constraints. There’s tour guides with different languages each hour which is included in the ticket. You can follow an one hour tour to get to know more about this place. Very nice experience of visiting

Gorgeous scenery. Lots and lots of good spots for photo taking. Walk in price is 500 bath, but it can go down to 365 baht if you booked online. Please be advised that you are required to wear something 'respectful', meaning you need to wear something of knees length. If the staff deemed your outfit to be inappropriate, then they have the option for you to buy or rent for (they'll return the deposit when you're done) skirts or oversized trousers of 200baht for you to wear on your duration of your visit. This place offers tour guide services for various languages: Thai, English, Chinese and Russian. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, but I'd say she was rushing the tour a little bit. Overall quite a pleasant experience.

Wonderful site. The location is fantastic. If you like an elephant ride, you can get one for 400B about USD 11 per person. The ticket comes with a tour guide. I stay around afterward to get photos and take a closer look.
Amazing work and spectacular vistas. Well worth a visit. Probably millions of hours of craftsmanship were involved in constructing this temple.
Sandy Singh — Google review
The Sanctuary of Truth is an absolute must-visit destination in Pattaya. This magnificent museum is entirely constructed from wood, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship. The sheer size of the museum is awe-inspiring, leaving visitors with a sense of wonder. The ideal time to explore the museum is in the morning when the ambiance is tranquil and inviting. Additionally, for those seeking a unique experience, an elephant ride is available near the temple, offering a captivating journey around the premises, albeit at a relatively high cost. Inside the temple, you'll discover a refreshment store as well

The level of intricacy and value of cultural art of this museum is remarkable! I’ve never seen something so breathtaking and original.
The tour guide was super informative in explaining every corner and philosophy of each sculpture here, although it was quite short, but definitely I learn a lot about the history of this temple. The wood carving is updated regularly and crafted with precision with their sculptor and adds the beauty of this site.
Worth to visit again for my second time!

This place is a sanctuary for the soul, providing a sense of tranquility and wonder. A must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and spiritual experience. I was captivated from the moment I stepped in, and I can’t recommend it enough. A gem that truly deserves all 5 stars.

There are so many little places within the structure that you can sit and reflect, sort of search your own truths. There are tons of tourists, and a lot of them don't abide by the rules because a picture is more important than the history and the building structure. I started off with the tour lady and then took a gap and went off on my own. There is a lot of construction taking place as it is a wood structure that requires constant fixing. It's beautiful and breathtaking. Every structure inside comes with a meaning, a description of why it's there and what it stands for. I read every single one. You need about 2 - 3 hours to go through the whole structure. Don't bother with the restaurant and food outside the building. it's a tourist trap and expensive. Just outside the gates are plenty of places that sell juice, water and beer, etc, for half the price. You will wait for your turn and it's language based. They are always on time which is good, especially in the blistering heat
Kelly Clarkson — Google review
A great experience. The structure is done using ancient Thai construction techniques which means not nails or bolts. Several different types of wood joints have been utilized in the construction process. The tour guide was excellent and spoke great English. All in all it was a great experience and the restaurant was also pretty good as well.

One of the stunning and spectacular temples. Fully wood carved by artisans. The amount of work done is incredible and the key quotes and messages inside the temple are quite motivating and philosophical. Also feeding the goats, deer, rabbits and sheep was really soothing.
Come during the evening time, you get beautiful sunset to take photo shoots.
Please do note you have to pay 500 Baht for tickets to visit the temple. But worth it !

A very beautiful museum and well worth a visit. The museum is made purely with wood. The carvings are intricate and real skillfulness to build it. Although it's called the sanctuary of truth, but I am not sure about the elephant rides on the premises. I have been reassured the elephants are well cared for. There are guided tours in different languages at specific times.

Amazing, so beautiful, and such powerful precepts. Highly recommend. Take a photo of every plaque in the temple because the sayings and meanings of each are particularly beautiful and they are not in the brochure or leaflet. And I can't find the book to buy anywhere outside of the gift shop

A must visit place at Pattaya. Fantastic place to go through. I wasn't thought this would be mesmerizing. This is a museum, that showcases truth of life. The entire museum is made of wood, that uses only wood-lock joints, instead of nails. You will get a guide there, in English, Thai, Chinese or Russian, which is included in the ticket price.
There's a refreshment store inside the museum premises. I would recommend, visit this place during the early morning session or in the evening. At noon there's harsh sunlight and heat.

1. They take people in batches.
2. Every batch has a guide who speaks the language (for me personally English).
3. They had a small version of a real sanctuary explaining there was no nail used
4. There were workers scalping the real wooden thing swhich is used in the sanctuary both inside and out.
5. The map was also given in our preferred language.

Sanctuary of Truth is a wooden giant structure filled with best scripture work all around and conveys the ways of living for human being. It does contains some stories of the Indian epic Ramayan, also earthly god representations and the tour guide helps us to understand the 6 truths of life. Not only that they will help us identify the owner of the museum intention of the structures why they are such way and it’s an incredible experience, must visit and if you love sculptures and love to explore epics, you would love to spend more time to understand them. They also show how this huge structure built without even using nails.. yes it’s amazing right .. visit to know more…

This is probably the grandest museum in this part of the country.
Entrance fee is 500 baht.
Everything is run smoothly. Organized tours are scheduled by language : Thai, English, Mandarin, Russian.
We waited our turn to follow the English tour.
The tour lasted for about an hour.
Everything here is about good and evil and life and death and about Buddhism.
Sculptures are beautiful and in wood.
It’s a beautiful monument !

One of the best places I've visited here in Thailand. Good scenery, good air, nice view, and also you can check the history of this place and learn while visiting it. I suggest that you must also visit this place if your here. And yeah. Don't forget that you need a ticket if you want to enter the museum.
For the museum tour don't worry there are different languages they offer when you join the tour
Vincent Intong — Google review
Entrance is 500 Baht and the activities are a separate payment. They accept cashless payments too. I’ve uploaded their prices for everyone’s reference. However, I forgot to take a picture on the time schedule per nationality for tour purposes.
They also have a restaurant inside with reasonable prices. I think it took us almost 3 hours for taking photos, eating and etc. it was pretty humid when we went despite the cloudy weather.
I just think that their activity prices are too high. For instance, riding an elephant is 400 Baht and you’ll be riding it for 10 minutes only. So it’s not a reasonable price in my opinion. So instead, just bought a basket of bananas for 100 Baht to feed the elephants, much better!

Outstandingly beautiful. Words can not do the atmosphere of this place justice. Very charged with a feel good factor. Strange but true it has a way of making you reflect on your own self beliefs. And how you conduct yourself in this world. Just an awesome place to reflect. The fact its made of hand carved wood only. And the amount of time it's taken to do is testament to the work ethic of the thai people who do it.

Mesmerizing temple! It’s interesting that the tour started with safety briefing and move down to the workshop area. Make sure to ask for the different timing for guided tour.

The best place to enter is on the 6.30 PM one. The evening entry price is 700 bath (normally 500 bath). The extra 200 bath is 100% worth as it looks amazing when all the lights are one.
The temple is extremely good, and you'll feel the energy.
Inside, you'll get to learn (you'll have an English speaking guide), who will explain all about it.
The temple has four parts and they focused on four gods (earth, water, wind, fire), and sculpted the history of how they maintain peace.
You should go there with atleast 1 hour and 30 minutes to see through it all.
If you love history and complex structure, this is an experience which is a must for you,
You will for sure say wow, and will be mesmerized by the art.

Must visit if you are in pattaya. Very peaceful place. The detail of the carvings is insane. The work there is never ending. They work on many pieces and assemble them and change out old panels also. The carving designs and stories are derived from many other countries as well. There is tour guide on time slots. Listen to the guide, there is a lot of time to take photos after that.

One of the greatest architectural masterpieces I've seen. The sanctuary of truth is an awe-inspiring work of art that truly celebrates Thailand's diversity of cultural heritage and religious influences. It shows the nation promotes its traditional values of kindness and virtue with far more than simple lip service. Here Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism/Taoism, and even Islam and Sikhism are given equal respect, along with reminders of both the blessings we receive and the duties we owe to our family and society. Simply being inside this place makes me want to be a better person.
Guided tours in many languages come with the ticket, definitely take advantage of it to understand the deep meanings behind the temple museum's many murals and sculptures.
Day — Google review
This is an amazing place that deserves 5 stars. My rating reflects the surrounding “attractions” that spoil it. The elephant and horse riding should be stopped immediately. Website and leaflet claim it to be “ethical” but the elephants are being chained by their legs and guided using metal poking sticks. The tourists ride it around in the heat of the sun. It stands in in big conflict with the message of peace and sustainability being commemorated in the museum.
Other downside are the tours. There is so much to be told about this amazing place, yet the guides have trouble reaching their guests as they have to compete with other guides and the workers on site. I would have loved an audio guide to which you can listen in peace and on your own, sadly there is no such option. Also no smaller private tours are being offered. The complex message of the creator of this place is not coming across and reaching its audience in conditions like that, despite the great guides doing their best.
As an English speaking person there is also no possibility to access the museum before 9:10 am, which is when the first English tour is starting, even with the site opening at 8 am. It is weird, as after the seemingly mandatory tour you can walk around on your own as much as you like. I would have loved the possibility to see the place at 8 a.m. when it’s still not crowded and then would have joined a tour later in the day.

The Sanctuary of Truth completely exceeded my expectations, it doesn't feel like part of Pattaya at all. The craftsmanship and scale of the building is unbelievable. It's totally worth the entrance fee (100 baht cheaper to buy from online vendors for next day entrance). It was really hot when we visited but there are free umbrellas to borrow. They are quite strict about covering shoulders and legs but knee length shorts are okay for men. You have to wear a hard hat inside the building as there is work going on overhead.
The only thing we didn't like were the chains on the elephants.

Amazing Architecture! Its mind blowing how they built it entirely of wood without using a single nail. It's been under construction since 1981 so you can imagine the complexity to get this to it's current state. Also, the different kids of joints using wood is very interesting to learn. A must visit if you're in Pattayya.

This is truly The wonder of this world. That's the only thing that come into my mind when I think about it. All made in wood by hand. The detail that all this sanctuary is made both in and outside make my jaw drop whole this day. Words can't describe the beauty and impression it makes when you're there. Base questions lying at the ground, planets, human behaviours as a pillars, main elements on earth as naves. Impressive. Definitely place to see and touch.

The Sanctuary of Truth Museum captivated me with its intricate wooden architecture, showcasing a harmonious blend of artistry and spirituality. The attention to detail in every carving left me in awe, reflecting a deep commitment to preserving cultural heritage. The sprawling premises offered a serene escape, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich Thai traditions. Knowledgeable guides enhanced the experience, providing insightful narratives about the symbolic significance of each structure. While the admission fee seemed justified, ensuring the site's maintenance and preservation, I found the souvenir prices a bit steep. Overall, a must-visit destination for those seeking cultural enlightenment amidst breathtaking craftsmanship.

A truly majestic wooden structure, what makes it unique is the requirement to wear a construction helmet upon entry. Visitors are initially guided through the construction area to witness the meticulous hand-carving process. Continuous maintenance and carving activities are ongoing, necessitating the use of safety helmets even inside the main hall. The entire building is constructed without the use of any nails; instead, it relies on traditional joinery, tenon-and-mortise, and wooden pegs. This construction method, is remarkably preserved here, presenting a spectacular sight.
Visitors also have the option to rent horse-drawn carriages or ride elephants around the building for admiration, priced at 400 NT dollars per person for a single ride or 800 NT dollars for two people on one elephant. The park also features a coffee terrace and a massage area for visitors to take a leisurely break.
Walking Street in Pattaya, Thailand is a vibrant and lively promenade that comes alive at night.

Nong Nooch Botanical Garden is a sprawling 500-acre attraction in Thailand, featuring a diverse range of themed gardens, elephant shows and rides, and dining options. Divided into three main areas, the garden boasts stunning landscapes such as the French Garden, Italian Garden, Stonehenge Garden, Butterfly Hill, Bromeliad Display Garden, Mammoth Garden, Flamingo Garden and more. Visitors can also explore the Animals Kingdom area with its diverse wildlife exhibits.
Great place to visit. It is very well done and great design. There is a covered sky bridge which reaches most of the main attractions. The sky garden is covered. Can get a bus to take you around which is good as walking would probably be too much for most. Highly recommended!

This place is part Disney, part Jurassic park and part botanical gardens. Wonderful place to spend an afternoon. It's about 600 acres so plan on spending a good amount of time to see everything. You have different ticket choices that give you different privileges; to see shows, ride the bus, etc, so do some research before you get there. They usually have some kind of specials but be sure to read the fine print. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Parking: It is not crowded. Not too many people during CoVid. Easy access to park in.
Place: It is very beautiful, nice, and amazing. I went here before. Some areas were under construction. But now the place is full of life and nature. I will come here again in December when everything is green.
If you want to find a garden or somewhere to look at flowers, this is the perfect place, especially for tourists. This place is one of the top 4 gardens in the world.
As an American, I will come here every time for my visit. There are millions of trees and flowers to see. For the whole day, it might take 3 to 4 hours to walk and see the whole thing.

What a wonderful place to be at. It's easily one of the most wonderful and beautiful gardens in the world. Beautiful and well thought of gardens and absolutely fantastic dinosaur valley for both young and old. The place is so clean and one can also purchase food and drinks here with a large seating area. My family and I loved every moment of it. Spent a couple of hours here and would have been there longer, but it got too hot and humid to proceed any further. It is certainly worth the visit and would definitely be back here as there's so much more to view and explore. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved it here. Well deserved top 10 of the world's most beautiful gardens. Spent quite a few hours wandering around jumoi g on and off the tour bus was a great way to really see any particular area without having to pound to many pavements.
The cacti garden was just beautiful.
Dinosaur valley was great the kids both young and old would love it.
The garden centre was very reasonable.
The butterfly garden was having a new model added to it but beautiful area all the same.
So many different elements to this wonderful place. I will definitely visit again. The man on the ticket gate was particularly memorable. Lovely. Man and staff in the gardens around the whole venue. They do great work.

This garden is shockingly huge and can see owners love for dinosaurs and many other animals life-size figurines dotted all over the landscape.
Buy ticket for the 45-min. trolley to get a overview and it makes 2 stops to allow exploring different theme gardens on foot, from cactus, orchid, huge rocks to French. Can hop back to the next trolley. Even 2 hours there only cover few grounds.
Plenty of food options and cool air-con. cafes serve cold drinks are a good way to hydrate and rest.
Pictures don’t do justice, must see with your own eyes. Adults and kids will equally enjoy it.

Great place to visit. The botanical gardens are nice, and the dinosaur statues are interesting. The other things to do there interacting with elephants and an interesting car museum, and I saw a shooting range there. They also have places to eat. It is worth a visit.

I've never seen more concrete and plastic in a place that is called "garden".
First, if you expect to see a botanical garden and maybe learn something about tropical plants, this is definitely the wrong place. What they have done here is basically destroy nature that has been there, cover it up with concrete and then put a lot of plants into pots and decorate everything with plastic animals and dinosaurs.
Second, the place is huge, but some areas can only be viewed from the buses (forbidden to walk in there or leave the bus) running around the place, so there is no time to look at the plants closer.
I also got no idea why anybody would place a car saloon in a "botanical garden", but there are two of them.
Third, there is evident animal cruelty happening in this place. We saw chained up elephants being held as tourist attractions, so that you can take photos or ride on them. A baby elephant was chained to it's mother, to make it walk along and on top of that we saw one staff member pulling the tail of the baby elephant to make it stop. So, if you love elephants definitely do NOT go to this place. There is also an elephant show (which we - for obvious reasons- choose not to look at).
The so called "Thai cultural show" was entertaining but very cliched.
Don't let yourself be fooled: this is a theme park with a lot of plants and plastic animals but NOT a botanical garden.

The place is clean and maintained very well. We reached the place by 10am so that we don't miss the shows.
Thailand traditional show was amazing and we all loved it. I would recommend getting a VIP ticket to occupy a seat towards the centre of the stage.
The Elephant show was nice.
Kannan Devarajan — Google review
This is such a huge place.
We set off by watching the show of various cultures. It is a great show. Then we went on for the elephant show. It was fun and entertaining. Then we had some refreshment, a coconut drinks to be exact.
Then, we went on the tram that takes us to visit the tropical garden of animals, cacti and many more. We spent about 4 -5 hours here and it was tiring.

Very interesting and unexpected experience. The gardens were very well landscaped with various dinosaurs positioned in the different themed gardens. area is HUGE. Not too crowded. Feels a bit like Jurassic park and did not expect this, looking from the outside
Offers a tour on a bus for a fee, which is beneficial for people who can't or don't want to walk much. Has restaurants and food court, though food isn't that great. Provides wheelchair for rent. Plenty of parking space provided.

Beautiful garden. Well maintained. They have excellent shows. Its a good one day thing to do in pattaya. We took a ride/ car to go to all the points. As its too big to walk around its better to take a ride.
Not too expensive and worth a try if you are okay with a little walking. There’s cultural show, different countries cultural dancing n all and there’s elephants show.

Beautiful gardens. Tastefully designed, decorated and maintained.
Take the bus internally to visit if you want to save time and don’t want to talk this huge place.
There’s also an Indian restaurant serving Indian food.
Its cheaper to buy a cumulative ticket (entrance, food, bus etc) if you are sure of what u want.
The elephant show is splendid. The cultural show is also good.
A good tourist attraction

Huge interesting botanical garden. Don’t forget to bring water & get ready to get sweat if you explore this area by foot 🦶. Ticket price 600 bath for tourist. And they also have ticket with bus ( you will use bus to explore the area ). They have many toilets & it was quite clean for female toilet. But my husband n son said for male toilet it was really smelly

Everything is commercialized. Staff is very rude towards the tourists, especially foreigners.
Entry ticket is too expensive and do not deserve. Shuttle bus is a big fraud. Before boarding they say, unlimited hop on and hop off. But, after second point itself they do not allow to board further except to the exit gate. I am forced to walk myself with my wife, as the driver thrown away my shuttle bus ticket into a dust bin. There's no staff to guide you or help you.
Most of the garden is artificial except one portion, where tourist entry is restricted and allowed to view only from the shuttle bus. Not allowed even to step out of the bus.
Thai Cultural Show is good. But, the elephant show was again a big fraud.
After collecting a separate entrance ticket for the show, it seems management is interested in commercializing the show, but, not interested in the actual show.
During the show, feeding to the elephants, selling the products is a big hinderence to the viewers in watching the show.
I don't say it's wrong. But, should be carried out before starting the show or after end of the show. Not during the show. It gives a lot of irritation when someone is obstructing the show continuously. Waste of money.
Car museum and collection of Cars in the museum is excellent. Except, car museum all other things are fully commercial.
Hope the Management shall make a note of my review and take corrective steps, especially on their Staff behaviour.

Very disappointing to see how they have the elephants... very sad, all day standing, tied at the neck and feet with very short chains, which completely limit their movements. I did not see them well cared for or treated. Their rights were totally violated, I felt that no one cared about them. They make them do tricks so you can take photos and the guys who ride them ask you then for tips. A horror.
Focusing now in the gardens are very well maintained, the plant production sector is very nice. The gardens do not have a description or origin of the plants.
Something curious is that everywhere there are figures of all kind of animals of different sizes, but they are not classified or described either. There is no logic.
Jenni Muñoz — Google review
Its a must-visit place when you come to Thailand, and please make sure you have at least half a day to actually explore and appreciate the garden (kids will go mad with the Dinosaur valley).
The garden is spacious, there are a variety of trees and plants for you to feel fresh. Also the sky walk is a nice experience for an overview of the garden.
The Dinosaur valley is a wow attraction, not only it has almost 1:1 Dino, but also there are many types from herbivores to carnivores.
Trung Nguyen — Google review
Great place, definitely a must see. Very detailed dinosaur park with literally hundreds of different dinosaurs. Uncountable collection of plants, noted as one of the top 10 best gardens in the world. Another big thing is the 2 x car enthusiasts museum, rare cars old to new. Elephants were sad to see all chained up but everything else was amazing.

I first visited these gardens in south Jomtien some fifteen years ago and they have expanded almost out of recognition. Some 1,000 baht (£21) entry for foreigners but cheaper for Thais. Make sure you get tickets for the additional shows and transport you want over the basic entry fee. Vast open car park and easy entry. Begins with an extremely impressive and lavish Thai history and cultural show almost worth the entry fee on its own that lasts about 30 minutes. You then move on to an elephant show. I'm not a great fan of the commercialisation of wild animals taught to play popular sports like football and basketball for entertainment but I was one of a very small minority.
You can buy a ticket to view the vast gardens by open-sided minibus which drops you off at various locations. Lots of secluded tropical gardens and water features which are very picturesque. We opted to walk around a lot despite the heat utilizing the overhead walkways which are being constantly expanded. At the end there is an array of dinosaur features. Not my thing but understand it's to attract families.
Make sure you have plenty of water with you as despite the mini-buses and refreshment booths dotted around there's a lot of walking involved. Quite a long day but overall enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend.

Wonderful place to spend a day in thailand. They have too much attraction to entertain a tourist. They have cultural show, elephant show , elephant ride, garden tours and etc. Can spend a whole day easily

This place is HUGE!! Booking a tour around the place is recommended.
We were all surprised and amazed by how detailed, careful attention is paid to make this masterpiece the way it is today. Lots of sights for photos with friends. We enjoy our time a lot here.
BUT the garden is seated quite far from city centre. Be aware of transportation fees and tolls (if you use highways).
Quang Le — Google review
Booked this as a last minute idea for something to do nearby another attraction.
Didn't expect what I was about to see....
Driving up I started to realise this place was quite big, it reminded me of visiting Disney world looking at the scale of the parking areas and the ticket booth was like an aircraft hangar.
At first I thought it was quaint, then walking deeper into the gardens I was mildly impressed, then after an hour of walking I came to the realisation that I have never thought that this many different types of plants could be in one location, it was flabbergasting if I'm honest.
As we walked through the areas, the dinosaur sculptures seemed impressive, not awkward and they looked well made, again as we walked further in and then ended up taking a bus tour we suddenly realised the scale of this place and the size of some of these dinosaurs, every single one seemed accurate to the size I expected Including the very very large ones which you needed to really step back to take photos of!
This is the best garden I have visited, the plants they have on display and in the nursing areas must be in the millions.
This is ideal for children, just don't go during the hot season.
The food was cheap.
Plenty of toilets dotted all over, disabled access also.
Would recommend a visit if you have a family or just like to see well presented gardens.

The area is very very big and there are a lot of areas to explore. Amazing park and really large lots of options to do. They also have spa if you don’t want to do things here. We also had lunch here and they have a buffet and lots of variety of food
What I hate though is that I feel bad for the elephant during the elephant show though, they ask for tips every show they do, they go around in elephants for the elephants to collect.
Gems King — Google review
Yes, one of the top gardens in the world!Pebble mosaic walls and hand crafted pots with people faces are amazing! Lots of huge old bonsais well located all over the garden. Countless big and small dinosaurs are everywhere. It’s so clean in each corner. The culture and elephants show are great. I say it’s not only a garden but also an art gallery of its own kind!

Ramayana Water Park is a sprawling family-friendly park located in the Silver Lake area, covering 184000 square meters. It offers an array of fifty water rides, including high-speed slides and lazy rivers. The park features three food centers with cabanas and bars suitable for all ages, as well as a stage for occasional celebrity performances.
I liked it a lot. People here saying it's a little bit expensive, but I don't think so. Just think of all the water, electricity, staff... Therefore it's totally fair. The staff was very friendly and helpful at any time. Silders are great, for small and big people, everyone can enjoy. One of my favourite was the freefall, cannot describe the feeling of the free fall....maybe only 1-2 seconds, but absoluty amazing. Totally recoy!

The water park was clean, it fits into Thai nature. It was beautiful to look at and some places were also good for relaxation.
I would not recommend buying a cabin (cabanas) - it is an ordinary cabin that is usually located right next to a busy place (where a lot of people move).
As for the toboggan and slides. They were fun and the staff were nice too. But most of the attractions didn't last extra long, Just few seconds. But I didn't mind and I still enjoyed it.
We recommend using water shoes!! After days of walking on non-slip roads, your feet will hurt!
It was nice to charge money on your QR code bracelet! I recommend buying tickets online! You have a 10% discount here.

We had an enjoyable afternoon here, entry pricing is reasonable considering what is available, lockers linked to your entry wristband means it is very secure and adding money to your wristband makes it easy to spend money.
The various slides have advertised closing times but what they don’t say is that entry is closed earlier than this. On the day we were there 2 rides were shut completely 45mins before advertised and 2 rides had their entry closed 45mins before they were advertised to be closed. You should make it clear exactly when entry to the slides actually stops.
The other thing that was disappointing was the ice cream parlour we ordered from. Both of us ordered waffle cones, the staff seemed to have no idea how to make what we ordered, what they made looked nothing like what we ordered and it took nearly 15mins to serve them (waffle maker seemed to be the issue). Photos attached.

The park still have place to improve more slides!
Keep Going, we will be back!
Must go if you are in Pattaya! I'm highly recommended!

Pros: Great fun for kids and adults. Not too crowded even holidays season on Jan.
Cons:
- Can't bring bottled water, but you can bring your own personal water. What sense is that?
- The photos their staff took for you is NOT FREE despite signs everywhere that state's free. In my country it would be misleading consumers, bait advertising which is illegal. Cost 400 Baht per photo or 1000 Baht for all photos in digital forms.
- 50% of the staff are not friendly and/or helpful!
- We should be given map of the park upon entry.

Great water park! We went on a Friday in the beginning of September at 11:30am and stayed until 5:30pm, and we saw maybe three other families the whole time! No lines at all.
Great selection of rides, a nice long lazy river, pool for different small obstacles, a pool for swimming/floating on a tube, really friendly staff, and good value to rent a cabana for the day to have a more private place to relax (700 baht). You need to also rent a locker to store your valuables for the day. They don’t allow food or drink into the park, and you load money onto one persons wrist band, to pay for food/drink throughout the day.
Overall, great experience, we stayed until opening to close! Would absolutely return

Fun Water Park Experience with Reasonably Priced Food and Drinks
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Review: During my recent visit to Ramayana Water Park in Pattaya, I had a great time enjoying the various rides and attractions. Although the park shows its age in some areas, the overall experience was fun and enjoyable.
The park offers a good selection of rides that cater to different age groups and preferences. From thrilling water slides to relaxing lazy rivers, there's something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the variety of rides available, and the park's cleanliness was well-maintained.
The food and drinks at Ramayana Water Park are reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. It's refreshing to find affordable options within a theme park setting. I had the chance to try some snacks and drinks, and they were satisfying and value for money.
Unfortunately, the pool party was closed during my visit. However, the owners made up for it by offering a free soft drink or water as compensation. I found this gesture to be thoughtful and customer-oriented.
To make the most of your visit, I recommend buying tickets in advance to skip any potential queues. When I arrived at the park around its opening time at 11 am, there wasn't much of a queue at all. However, during peak times, having pre-purchased tickets will save you time and ensure a smoother entry.
Ramayana Water Park attracts a lot of tourists, so expect to see a decent crowd. Despite that, the park is spacious enough to accommodate everyone comfortably.
In conclusion, Ramayana Water Park in Pattaya offers a fun day out with a variety of rides and attractions. The food and drinks are reasonably priced, and the owners' gesture to compensate for the closed pool party was appreciated. If you plan to visit, consider purchasing tickets in advance to save time. It's a great place to cool off and enjoy some water-themed fun!

What a beautiful water park. This place felt like you were in the Northern Italy, lush greenery, hillside and vineyards, views from the tops of slides, spectacular. Park itself really serene, spotless and so large, felt very spacious. The staff were absolutely fantastic, safety seemed on point, not always a priority in Thailand! Good price for residents even if not Thai, and super shuttle bus into the city.. oh, and food was good too...xx

We were there during the week on a Tuesday so the place was not so crowded. We could go on the slides how many times we wanted and didn’t have to wait for too long.
Most of the slides have a height requirement of 122 and minimum weight of 45 kg. Compared to Vana nava in Hua Hin the slides are a bit gentler and not too high. My two girls (8 and 6) could ride the slides by themselves if they sit together in a two seats ring.
There’s a big section for kids with lots of slides. We had a blast that day. Really recommend the place if you like water parks.

Expansive beautiful water park, full of greenery, maintained very well, we were seniors so just experienced the pools not the slides. The pools and surrounding areas has non slip flooring. Toilets clean, food and drink facilities well distributed around with a wide variety of food available. Beer and water is expensive at 149 THB for 300 ml and 30 THB for 500 ml respectfully. Opens 11 to 6. But IMO a 10 to 5 timing would be better.

The place is nice but they need to reduce the price for kids & need to give offers same as thai people its a business part of life style. If you has booking and your made mistake they don’t consider you made a mistake. The staff need to understand gusts requirement’s

A great place to spend a day. Very clean, lots to do for every age group.
Senior citizens above 60 it's free. You cannot take any food items even water, inside.
They check your bags and if you have any food or water, they will put in a bag, keep in a locker and when you leave they give back.
You have to buy everything from the stalls and Restaurant inside

This is a really great place, really impressed. Very clean and well maintained and it’s a very pleasant setting with a lot of greenery everywhere and plenty of seating and shade. It’s very well staffed and professional, and the rides are of course great fun. There is something for all ages. Food selection is varied and all very good quality… much much better than the overpriced low quality food you get in a UK theme park. Very well run place… highly recommend it!

Sai Kaew Beach, situated near an upscale resort, boasts of crystal clear waters and a tranquil atmosphere devoid of the noise from large crowds. Speedboats are a common sight as they cruise along the white-sand beach. The surrounding restaurants and beaches are located just a few kilometers away, making it convenient for visitors to explore different areas. Though the main beach area is fun to visit, most people prefer not to book hotels there due to its bustling nature.
Sai Kaew beach is perfect at this very moment, Quiet without the loud Chinese herds. In April sunny and crystal clear waters. Good food and drinks on the beach.

First beach you sea when arriving on the island. Only 11 minutes walk to the Pier. You can set on sunbathing chairs, but shading umbrellas does not protect you from UV rays. So better bring sunscreen even sitting under shade. While walking the beach, Smell of chicken barbecue, Koh Samet Island amblem over the end of the beach. If trying seafood restaurants would be better option. I find menu prices on sitting chairs is high. One grilled fish cost 550 for example, where you can get it 300-350 back in the mainland.

Absolutely beautiful beach. One of the best in Thailand. Was here like 20 years ago but liked it even more this year. Water is crystal clear and light green. Sand itself absolutely beautiful fine and white and doesnt burn your feet. So clean.
Vendors that offer their products and fruit/food in a polite way without being pushy.
It doesn't get much better.
Saturdays arrives MANY big motorboats with twin Yamaha big motors that are full with day tourists from China. Be prepared for a lot of screaming and behaviour that shows little respect to other tourists there.
Same thing on restaurants with plenty of leftovers and garbage on floor after eating. NOT EVERYBODY but a significant part that stands out on this very call paradise island.

Water is good for swimming and the beach is shallow not deep so safe for kids but watch out for the narrow zone jetskis can pull in.

Khlong Phlu waterfall is a serene tourist attraction situated amidst lush greenery. This tranquil waterfall features a sizeable swimming hole, which offers visitors the perfect opportunity to cool off in the refreshing water. To reach this natural wonder, tourists can take an easy 600 meter walk along a scenic path from the entrance. Visitors are required to pay an entry fee of 40 baht per person (for Thai).
Khlong Phlu Waterfall in Koh Chang is a splendid natural attraction worth visiting. Despite the 200 Baht entrance fee, the experience is quite rewarding. The waterfall itself is a picturesque scene, providing a tranquil and refreshing environment ideal for relaxation and photography.
Visitors should be prepared for a bit of a trek to reach the waterfall, as the path can be rugged. It's advisable to wear secure and comfortable shoes to navigate the uneven terrain safely. Overall, for those looking to immerse themselves in nature's beauty, Khlong Phlu Waterfall is a worthwhile destination.

Perhaps because I've seen much better waterfalls this didn't really do it for me. It's not bad, but had I known what it was like, I probably wouldn't spend 200 Baht (40 Baht for Thai) to visit. It lies at the end of a 500 meter trail through the forest with a small viewpoint of the river en route. It's popular with people wanting to swim in the pond at the bottom of the waterfall. Parking motorcycles at the entrance to the Park is another 20 Baht.

A pretty little park to visit... but make sure you visit during the right season. In April, we're far enough out of the wet season that there was barely a trickle over the rocks. We played with the fish and took some nice pics but saw little of the waterfall.
Ken S — Google review
Great way to spend a few hours. The waterfall is around 500m from the ticket office. We visited today and although it's the dry season, it rained briefly this morning, which made the path to the waterfall a little treacherous. It's over rocks and roots so is a little rough in just flip flops. We made it safely, but it's better to wear proper shoes if you have them.
The waterfall itself is lovely. The water is very clear and fresh. There's a pool at the bottom of the waterfall which is deep, and there are lifejackets available. The pool extends around 100m or so to some rocks, and by the time it reaches the rocks it's very shallow. So you have the option of just wading and getting your feet wet, or going for a proper swim.
The water is full of some very curious fish, who like to nibble at your feet. It's a nice, relaxing half-day trip.
Prices:
Parking (motorbike) - 10 Baht
Parking (car) - 20 Baht
Entry fee (Thai national) - 40 Baht
Entry fee (foreigner) - 200 Baht

A nice waterfall and swimming area. Access is over rocks, tree roots and it quite uneven so not suitable if you dont like small trails through the rainforest. Water is crystal clear with fish. The only toilets are at the entry so get changed into swimmers before u walk up. Takes about 25mins to walk all the way to the waterfall. Take water with u as there are no vendors selling anything nearby.

Entry Ticket 200 baht/person for foreign (40 baht/Thai people). We come here on July 2023 & the waterfall is falling heavily. From the entrance you may go trekking for about 30 minutes, and beware of slippery trails. It is a easy trekking trip for kids too. There are 5 stations but actually the concept of each station is not clear. Water is clear & there
are many fish, but it's also a little bit dangerous to climb & swim in deep water. Worth a try for a half-day activity on the island.

What a beautiful waterfall full of curious fish that will be following you in the water! This place is spectacular! We spent hours there and absolutely love it. The hike is very easy, basically anyone can do it. It's a bit expensive to get in as a foreign but totally worth it. A must see while in Koh Chang!

฿40 to park a car and ฿200 for non-Thai. Pleasant staff and the trail is in really good condition. The whole trail is shaded and only opens up at the waterfall itself. Not too busy but not empty around 13:00 and the fall is still worth seeing in the Dry Season. 40 minutes from car park to fall if you stop at viewpoints and take photos, 20 minutes if you don’t stop. Advisable to wear shoes as although the trail is fairly easy, there are parts that are momentarily steep or require proper footholds.

Swimming at the waterfall viewing spot (at the end of the trail) is not allowed but we could swim at the big clear pool or shallow waterfalls along the way there. Lots of Pluang fish in the area, some of small ones come to do fish spa for free! Dipping into cold fresh water is a great relaxing and fun acivity esp for kids. Quite a safe place for kids who are able to swim.
Also, parking lots at the entrance are available and convenient for cars and motorcycles. No need to park outside the National Park area (and pay more).

I write many reviews and I really am stuck on what to write here ! I want to be positive but it’s not made easy by the experience if I’m honest. I live in Thailand and I am not a tourist - dual pricing is still common in Thailand and they show no shame at all - it’s like they don’t want tourists to visit these places !!
So I have pale skin so I paid 200baht and my wife paid 40baht even though I hold a Thai ID and spend all my income in Thailand.
If I question this I am told it helps maintain the park or waterfall or golf course or whatever you are over charged for. Well maintenance is certainly not funded by my entrance fee or anybody else’s - the hand rails are either broken or missing so no spending there !
Another over staffed place - 1 very bored man to sell you a ticket without eye contact or a smile - a second man 5 meters away to check your ticket !!
We wandered up the 600meters of very unstable and rocky path and even managed not to break an ankle or 2, using the poorly fitted ropes in ad hoc locations we reached the waterfall -
Niagara it is not, so don’t get too excited
I am glad I did this trip but really unlikely to return.
Sorry this has been so negative but it’s hard to praise such an experience.

Khlong Phlu Waterfalls is one of the treasures of Koh Chang and is a must visit for all travelers. I've been here a number of times with family and friends. The path is a mountainous 600 meter trek so watch out for small kids and elders. The final swimming pool at the waterfall has the fish that eat the skin off your feet like the fish spas but by Mother Nature. You can also jump off both sides of the rock formation, an 7 foot drop into the water.

Nice and chilled waterfall with a little hike through the jungle. We visited the waterfall end of october in rainy season and it was perfect.
There is a parking space for 20 Baht right before the entrance. If you are lucky you can also drive through the entrance and park directly on one of the few free parking spaces.

Koh Chang is not just about beaches. If you are bored with beaches and want to take bath in fresh water, then there are 5 to 6 waterfalls in Koh Chang. Among them Khlong Phlu waterfalls is the best. You have to hike for 500 mts to reach the falls. It is a very easy hike. Also you have to get an entry pass as this waterfalls is located inside a national park.

Beautiful waterfall, short hike. Crystal clear water. Bring good shoes, the rocky, wet path is challenging in flip flops. Also wear your bathing suit.

Nice 1,5 hours walk from our resort to this beautiful waterfall. We’ve spend some time there, my daughter swam a little in the clear water with some fish in it.
During dry season, the water fall had little water. But nevertheless it’s nice there. Calm, pure nature and far away from rest of the island

I recently visited the waterfall in Koh Chang near White Sand Beach and had a wonderful time.
The trekking and trail walk to the waterfall offered stunning views of the surrounding nature.
Although the entrance fee for non-Thai people was 200 baht, which I found a bit pricey, the clear water lake with many visible fishes made it worthwhile.
Rith Pisey — Google review
200 baht entrance fee seemed a bit steep but it was a nice walk up and the falls and swimming area were beautiful and refreshing. Some quite large fish to look at and the smaller ones do nibble your feet but a really nice way to relax.
Go there early to avoid the annoying Russians!

Water fall is about 900m from the gate. It is applied entrance fee. The walking pass to the wall is made by people walked and step on stone and route of tree too. And up and down. We saw an older person came with son but it is tough to walk.
At the end we can see this wall. Water is cooler and many dishes there. Once you step in and stand still, you feel something biting your foot. Fish like doctor fishes are biting foot.
Worth to come and enjoy cooler water.

Lovely place. Hike in can be a little slippery at times depending on the weather as well. There are guide ropes at certain points that are helpful as well. Could be a little challenging for people with mobility issues. Very scenic walk in. Well kept areas. Lovely waterfall with nice pool underneath to cool off. Did have a few nibblie fish but not too bad. Definite must see of Koh Chang. 200baht to get in for adults.

Went there in April 2024. Price for an adult- 200 thb.
It’s a very short 10-15 min light hike to the waterfall. The forest is beautiful and very lush green with butterflies flying all around you.
If you come early in the morning you will be able to enjoy the swim to the waterfall on your own.

The Emerald Pool is a mineral lake in a lush forest, which is a popular swimming spot. A wooden walking track leads visitors on an 800m - 1400m walk through the serene forest to reach the pool. The walk offers scenic views of waterfalls and the sounds of birds and insects, making it therapeutic for nature lovers. The natural pool has dark cyan coloured water that comes from trapped rocks beneath its surface. Swimmers are allowed to dip into the pool wearing swimsuits only.
absolutely beautiful place that really makes you appreciate nature. was pretty crowded but was still able to really appreciate the beauty of the pool. definitely a must see while you’re in krabi!
would definitely recommend trying the nature walk while you’re there — peaceful and you get to see a lot more!

Beautiful emerald pool with swimming facilities and hot streams.
You can enjoy a swim in this pool by yourself or with your family, kids also absolutely love it.
You can relax in the shade of the trees nearby. There are changing rooms, bathrooms and snack bars nearby.
We absolutely loved it and had a great time.
You should definitely make time to visit this place, you will not regret it.
Hope this helps 🙏

FREEDOM FOR CATS. The temperature of the water was around 30 degrees, it was not too hot like the other pools. I am 1.55 meters tall and my feet were touching the ground. There are toilets and showers (you can also use them as a closed dressing cabin). Swimming was very nice. They had locked 4 leopard cats in a cage. please leave them back

A beautiful, serene place worth a visit. We enjoyed a 800m - 1400m walk into the forest to witness the emerald pool. The walk itself was scenic and therapeutic; we witnessed calming waterfalls, sounds of birds and insects and nature. The emerald pool is all natural with beautiful dark cyan coloured water that comes from trapped rocks underneath the surface. You’re free to dip in the pool as long as you have a swimsuit. It’s recommended to visit earlier in the morning rather than later in the afternoon as it closes at 16:30 pm. Do note that there is a 20 baht entry fee for Thai adults, while foreigners will be charged more. Other than that the public sanctuary also has a bird observing attraction worth a visit.

If you see a scene like this, will you keep quiet without splash into the water? Just with 200 bath to enter this national park, you can see an emerald pool in conservation area. With a lot of wild plant and animal.
Natural atmosphere accompanied me through the trail to the emerald pool. Birds and forest song blends beautifully with the sound of the river around it. Various kind of flowing water, some are through shallow pools, deep and areas, also ripples from river flow contours.
Some parts beside the emerald pool are slippery because of moss. While the bottom of the pool is sandy which will become cloudy if there is too much turmoil in the water. The rest of the pool is clear with the nature temperature. Make sure you don't bring any food and all kinds of soap. It seems the prohibited is a management effort to maintain the naturalness and cleanliness of this area. Must see while you’re in Krabi!

Lovely nature. Well maintained. Only water allowed into the reserve, no snacks as they check the bags. Life guard and ambulance on duty. Wheel chair friendly and there is shuttle bus 20baht if you want to skip the 800m walk from the entrance.

We decided to drive to Emerald pool via motorbike which took us 1 hr 30 mins. As per our research this place gets very crowded mid morning so we decided to leave earlier and got to this gem at 9am. We were a bit skeptical in the beginning as we were 1 out of 3 small groups there. At one point we had the pool to ourselves. By the time we left(10am) we saw 3 huge tour busses and 5 vans full of tourist arriving. We were super relieved with our decision. So if you ever decide to go, make sure to arrive before 10am! We managed to visit all three pools (Crystal, Emerald, and the blue lagoon). Note that you can only swim in the Emerald pool. It was super clean and clear. I recommend to bring aqua shoes, mosquito spray as you’ll be walking through hungry mosquitoes! And of course a towel. Swimming is a must! The water was very refreshing on a hot day. Entrance fee has been increased to 400 baht for tourists. Please note that they don’t accept card and toilets are 5-10 baht.
Melissa Guzman — Google review
400 baht entry + expensive transport for a ‘natural’ pool. In my opinion not worth the visit, if you have extra time and money it is not bad. The pools and area are really beautiful, but I can imagine that different spots show the same beauty for a different price. Nice to have seen, will not come back.

The Emerald Pool is like a hidden gem nestled in the heart of nature. The water is incredibly clear, and you can even see the colorful fish swimming beneath the surface. It's such a peaceful and serene place to relax and unwind. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit and enjoy a refreshing dip in the emerald waters. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! 🌿💦

a beautiful place where you can swim in a natural pool. The water has an emerald green color, hence the name Emerald Pool. The natural pool is surrounded by a lush jungle. Through the jungle run small streams that come together and the Emerald Pool is the wonderful result of this! Closes at 4:30pm. Better to visit emerald pool first then go to hot spring.

This was a fun experience for everybody. It was a nice walk and a nice place to visit. It was fun to swim there. The grounds are very well-maintained. Everything is nice and organized and the people were friendly. The scenery was beautiful. We had a great time and we would definitely return again. There are also vendors there you can get food and drinks. A very fun time for everyone. The water was very nice. The temperature was good and it was very clean.
I definitely recommend for people to take their families to this place. Go early and spend the whole day. There is no place to lock up your stuff. So leave your valuables in the car bring comfortable shoes and towels there are bathrooms and places to change your clothes . But you have things to see here. It’s a very nice tourist destination.

A wonderful quiet piece of Earth's paradise. The emerald pool is clean and well maintained. There aren't many tourists during Covid, and a beautiful walk through the forest leads you to the final location, which features a wonderful blue-colored pool. If you're tired of going to the beach, this is a must-see :)

400TB per adult which I feel is expensive for what it is.
The walk through the jungle was fine and the pool itself is lovely and great for a swim, and has some fish in there. We walked to the Blue Lagoon but for us it wasn't worth the walk, was a smaller blue pool of water that you can't swim in.
We went early in the morning and were the only one in the pool for some time which was nice.
Was nice to see the emerald pool but unsure if it's worth £20.

Stepping into emerald Pool Krabi is like crossing the threshold into a dream, a serene paradise that captivates the soul. The beauty of this place is almost surreal; your eyes will be dazzled by the splendor that surrounds you, embraced by the unspoiled arms of nature.
The natural pools are the star of the show, with water so crystal clear that you can see all the way to the bottom. It's a tranquil experience, a chance to connect with the earth in a way that's rare and precious.
From the lush greenery to the gentle ripple of the water, every aspect of Blue Pool Krabi sings a hymn of relaxation and wonder. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this extraordinary place; it's a journey into beauty that you won't soon forget.
fad — Google review
There 3 natural pools. Crystal, Emerald and Blue. There are two paths. Better to take the nature trail which passes through the jungle. Out of these 3 pools you are allowed to swim in the Emerald pool only. My suggestion will be to see the Blue pool first and while coming down do swim in the Emerald pool.
joydeep ghosh — Google review
Beautiful park with lots of well curated trails. The main areas then to be overwhelmed with tourists and large groups. The hike is a little longer than expected. It's not for the faint of heart. Many of the paths didn't have hand rail in place. This created a bit of a hazard, IMO. However, it also adds to the experience.

Half day Natural attraction if you can get up at 8 am reach there by 10 am if you are staying in Krabi. We rented a Scooty & came early on a weekday so the rush was less. The ride here is worth it. You will love the Coconut plantation & Rubber plantations on the way.
✅Emerald Pool is one of the many pools at the complex.
✅The Nature trails through the forest is a walk to remember
✅ Restuarants & Washrooms available
✅Fun while swimming at the clean Emerald Pool waters

One bad thing is very poor toilets and poor bathrooms over there

When in Krabi, you have to come see this natural phenomenon at the Emerald Pool. It is actually the last stop and is not a loop, so it is quite some walking to get there, but it is worth it! You cannot swim at the Emerald Pool itself, but you can at the other natural pool near the entrance.
Highly recommended for a chill day out exploring!

I personally feel hot spring is more enjoyable than emerald pool. But its also a really nice place to visit! There are several different pools to see - walk is over an hour if you want to see them. And finish with the best fried rice with shrimp ever!

The Emerald Pool in Krabi, Thailand, is an absolute gem of natural beauty, and our visit was nothing short of enchanting. From the scenic trails leading to the pool to the breathtaking sight of the emerald green water, every moment of our experience was filled with wonder and awe.
The journey to the pool was an adventure in itself, with picturesque trails winding through lush greenery and stunning landscapes. Each step brought us closer to the hidden paradise that awaited us, building anticipation for what lay ahead.
Upon arriving at the Emerald Pool, we were greeted by the sight of crystal-clear water shimmering in the sunlight. The natural flowing current added to the allure, creating a tranquil oasis that felt like something out of a dream.
Swimming in the cool, refreshing waters of the Emerald Pool was an absolute delight, offering the perfect escape from the heat of the day. The water's clarity allowed us to see the vibrant colors beneath the surface, adding to the magic of the experience.
Overall, our visit to the Emerald Pool was a perfect day trip that left us feeling rejuvenated and inspired by the beauty of nature. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, this hidden paradise offers an unforgettable escape into Thailand's natural wonders.

One of the many touristy locations in Krabi, while the spot is good & well maintained its very crowded. Need to walk around 1 km from the entrance but the way through is pleasant. The only issue is it's far away from any other location & easily a half day tour. Unless you desperately want to tick your checklist it can be skipped
suhas c.s — Google review
It's a beautiful place with crystal clear waters.
There are a few short nature trails. And you can also walk up to blue pool, in which you cannot swim.
Swimming in Emerald pool was very pleasant, and it is very picturesque.
That being said, I do not think that it is worth the entrance fee and the cost of the journey there.
If you love short nature walks and love looking at clear water, I can still say that it may be worth a visit. Go early as the crowd later in the day gets pretty crazy.
But if you're hesitant about it, I would say to give it a miss.

Nice place, there's a small stream of hot water, and a the same for cold water. The water is clear, but the staff is very restricting - no jumping (even when I held my kid and threw her), they also asked that the kids don't climb the trees... and I felt uncomfortable with them watching all the time.
Honestly, not worth the price of entry, in my opinion (400 adults, 200 kids). No outside food allowed.
Yaniv Grinberg — Google review
A bit crowded but definitely worth the experience. Out of nowhere a butterfly came and landed on my chin while in the Emerald pool. The waters were clean and crystal clear. Walked to the blue pool which was ok but the walk through the jungle was what made the extra hike worth it. We enjoyed the experience.

Kilim Geoforest Park is a nature reserve with beautiful mangrove forests, lagoons and beaches situated in Langkawi, Malaysia. The park offers river tours departing from the jetty near Tanjung Rhu that showcase the stunning limestone formations along the northeastern coast. Visitors will have an opportunity to explore Gua Kelawar, a cave hill which is home to bats. Lunch at a floating restaurant and eagle-watching are also included in most tours.
Wonderful experience to see the beauty of mangrove forest and the formation of the islands. It's a best for nature lover. We got a very friendly and engaging boat driver and gave us a very exciting boat ride around the geoforest. But sadly it's raining on the day we went but still have a great experience.

Very nice mangrove tour 🚤 We got the boat rented for 2 hour tour - saw the bat cave, crocodile cave, eagle feeding, and fish farm (where you can also have lunch). It was quite nice and our guides/boat driver were friendly and did a nice job showing us around. Booked directly with the site for a good rate of 250RM (fits up to 10 pax).

It is one of the most beautiful places and tourist attractions in Malaysia. If you want to go there you can take a boat ride. Look for a mangrove tour. It can take either 2 hour or 4 hour tour depending on the package.
Many agents are running this tour, pick genuine ones.
Prakash P — Google review
Great tour of the mangrove trees. Lots of wildlife! As part of making ecotourism more sustainable, our guide cautioned against feeding the eagles, lest they become dependent on tourists for food (already happening) & don’t get enough nutrition from the type of food that tourists feed (eg chicken skin)
Christabelle Peng — Google review
We had one of the best experience in our Malaysia trip,You have to travel a little far, so book a car by grab, Simply a must do if you're in Langkawi - it's the best activity on the island. It's around 350 ringgit for whole boat, The fish farm is not really good but
the eagle feeding is ethical (NB you don't
physically feed the eagles, you watch them feed in the river), and along the river we saw monkeys, lizards and snakes. All in all, a terrific experience. There was a floating restaurants selling sea food and chickens dishes, we enjoyed a lot, it’s worth every single penny
Aishwarya — Google review
Quite lovely nature park. The bat cave is a quick stop but quite nice to see. There’s also another cave the boats can go into and a bunch of curious monkeys there. Then the eagles are quite beautiful, a 10 minute stop and they feed them some chicken skin to get them diving. The one thing that was a waste of time for me was the fish farm. Not really interesting and a bit too touristy. Our boat driver was quite knowledgeable about much of what we saw. For me, 2 hours is plenty but if you like exploring then get the 3 hour tour.

Awesome experience. The geological beauty of the place will remind you to the Greatness of the God. It's such a beautiful and scenic place. It's very different with other places in Malaysia. We had our boat ride near sunset, it was a very serene ride.
Cove exploration, eagle feeding, visit floating restaurant and fish cages were main excursion but you can request other activities such as snorkeling and picnic at private beach.
Zulaikha Othman — Google review
One of the must go places in Langkawi. If you have time, highly recommended to take more than 3 hours package so that you can experience swimming at one of the beachfront facing Andaman sea. For my family and I, the highlight was eagle watching and the boat operator gave them chicken skins and you can watch how the eagles feed on the skin, what a view to watch with your eyes! Plan your trip early so that you avoid when the water level is high at noon, you may not be able to enter the crocodile caves. Also, if you plan to eat at the fish cages restaurants, suggest you find out waiting time because it can be very long wait for you.

Azir Aziz (@ansxcursion) and the Mangrove tour group were amazing! Kayaking through the Kilim GeoForest was something akin to paradise. We were so fortunate that Azir was able to show us a new route that took us to the Eagle feeding spot, through the Mangroves and low tide area to see colourful crabs, and past the curious macaque monkeys (we even saw a sleeping viper). It was a beautiful day out, and it is 100% worth doing! We would totally recommend Azir, as he goes above and beyond for your group. Azir made us feel so welcome and well looked after. He is a very experienced guide with excellent facts and knowledge of the area. To top it off he ensured that we got to spend some time at a stunning beach and then got home safely. A day to remember!

This park is definitely worth a visit. It is comparable to Vietnam's Halong Bay except this is much cleaner. There are many tourist attractions that you can go see such as crocodile cave, eagle feeding, floating fish farms, private beaches, mangroves and more. There are tour boats that will give you a taste of each.

Boat ride, mangrove tour, eagle feeding, bat caves excursion - all in within 2-3 hours tour (depending on which package one chooses), what else can you ask for?

One of my best decisions to visit this mangrove tour. Thanks God that the weather is amazing during my time. Those kind stuffs also help me to keep my luggages without charging. Rmb to check tide season before coming here bcs there are some places which u cannot access in high tide such as bat caves and crocodile caves. Which is very unfortunate for those ppl who prepared for long times to see this. They provide private and sharing tours. There are many packages included according to visiting hours. For me, I personally recommend 4-hrs tour with lunch. You can enjoy the strong wind and minor waves in Andaman open sea. Can go through mangrove path to watch swimming monkeys, go through crocodile cave. Having lunch at floating fish farm and look around the nature. What an amazing experience to relieve stress after hectic life.

The Langkawi SkyBridge is a must-visit tourist attraction in Langkawi, offering scenic walks between mountaintops high above the trees. Visitors can take two cable cars to reach the top and have the choice of using an incline rail or walking to get to the SkyBridge, both for a small fee. The bridge offers spectacular views and visitors can purchase a sky glide ticket to ride the cable car back down instead of walking down a staircase.
Area was well maintain. Colorful building. Many activities to do. Cable car station was clean. Scary ride up to the top. Nice scenery. Cool temperature up at the top.

I wasn't too excited to visit this at first but to be honest it was an exciting experience for me . One thing which everyone visiting here for holiday will find discriminating is the double charging policy for foreigners. Foreigners spend more in Malaysia within one month than an average Malaysian spend in a year so attract them by giving them special attention not charging them double because of this it's a four star

Fabulous experience and stunning views. A must do activity in Langkawi. There are some steps so ask for mobility assistance if required. The SkyGlide was nice but the queue is long and slow as there is only one cabin, if you can take the nature trail.

One of the steepest cable car rides and spectacular views I have ever seen.
Beautiful green and sea scenery in every direction.
Prices aren’t low - 10 R for parking, 89 R for one adult ticket to and from. Additional viewing platforms and small cars to avoid walking are charged additionally.
But all in all, it’s quite worth the price.
We were here in Ramadan holiday, so the queue was average, which is nice:) I believe place is overcrowded in high season.

Must visit if visiting Langkawi!
There are 2 cable cars to take you to the top (though you can stay on and miss the middle station) then at the top you have the choice of the incline rail or walking to get to the SkyBridge. Both charge a small fee, but we opted for the ~10 minute walk to take in the scenery and wildlife.
The views from the bridge are spectacular. There really is no reason to miss this if you're visiting the island!

We went on Wednesday, November 1st. It was off-season, and there wasn't really any waiting to speak of from where the cable car rides began.
The cable car ride itself has a breathtaking view of the incredibly green, lush landscape in Langkawi. The ascent up the mountain is fairly steep, but it provides an amazing 360° view of the area that I recommend if you have the time to take the climb all the way up to the top.
We paid a little extra for an open air car with a glass bottom for a more immersive experience. Those particular cars are not as prevalent as the regular cars, so there was a little more waiting involved.
Overall, I'd say it's a great way to see the local landscape and easily worth the time and effort involved.

Went early and avoided the crowds. Great experience and views of Langkawi. Ice cream at the top was very nice. Walk up the steps from the sky bridge a warm experience, but worthwhile to see the monkeys. Enjoyed by my wife who doesn't really like heights. A must-do visit whilst on the Island.

Good views from the top however always check for the weather conditions. It is displayed at the entrance too, which will help in taking a call to go up or not.

Langkawi sky bridge and Langkawi cable car must visit attraction in Langkawi
If you are lucky you can experience the full fog formation in sky bridge
Sky bridge have some glass bottom like a window in floor but not full glass bridge
Cable Car is very steep Journey and thrilling, for better experience get the glass bottom condolo worth for money
Don’t miss the 2 waterfall in both sides Best view

Its beautiful place to visit with family and friends . You will mesmerize with the natural beauty around . Only drawnack was when the day we went there the train was under manitainance which takes visiters to viewing galary . We have to climb around 250 steps and back which was really tiring . Not reccomend climbing the steps for old age and if you have pain in your knees . But overall trip was awesome ..

Crazy experience..
It is well worth the money spent.
There are multiple restaurants and shops on the way to the ticket counter. Get your tickets and enjoy the immersive experience of the cable car to the bridge and back for about 100 ringgit. This does not include the 3D museum charges and other attractions, which I feel is fine to skip if you do not want to spend much time. The bridge offers mesmerizing views and good for photography sessions.
Remember that closing time is around 6 PM so better go early and enjoy.

Beautiful views from this ginormous curved bridge. It’s a bit unsettling that it’s built in such a beautiful area, but at the same time I’m glad it exists and makes this beauty accessible to everyone who wants to visit. Seems well maintained. Staff is friendly. Be aware that the steps to get here are steep. Going there is easier since it’s steps down, but going back to the cable car is equal to hell, since you need to go up all the steep stairs again. Can take a lift, but it costs extra and waiting times are exorbitantly long.

Absolutely stunning view, must visit spot in Langkawi island. Try to buy ticket online in advance to avoid queue, although you still need to queue to collect the ticket.

Amazing place to see the island and the wilderness! Get there early! We arrived at 9:15 and bought our tickets ensuring we were heading up with no wait time and a private gondola with no need to pay for a VIP private one. When we got back to the bottom at 10:30-45 the queue was INSANE with likely a 3-4 hour wait! Plan ahead 😀

It was a very good experience to be here. There are 2 ways to get here either you bought the ticket with a hill lift or a normal ticket. For senior citizens it is better not to take a hike trail to this place. The view from the bridge was superb. You can feel the bridge a bit swinging while walking on it.

A place from a height where you can see the ocean and the jungle. The beautiful sky bridge is a miracle of architectural creation. Special thanks to the staff at the foot, we had some difficulties, but the staff quickly solved the problem and quickly let us through the queue. Downstairs, unfortunately, many shops and cafes have closed.

Scenery was fantastic at the bridge and experiencing the strong winds were awesome! The bridge was very sturdy with only slight movements if you put in effort to notice it. The ending of the bridge somewhat ended abruptly with some dividers blocking off to the ending sheltered platform.
Some glass panels on the floor to see through the bridge but they were very tinted and filled with scratches so it wasn't a wow factor.
Overall a good experience!

Stunning views from the top!
We purchased tickets online - same price as in-person, but way more convenient.
Note, there are areas with a bit of walking to get up and down to lookouts, so be prepared to sweat a little.
The skybridge is phenomenal, and very high up so if you have fear of heights, you might want to sit this one out.
One of the most amazing cable car experiences in the world.
Rhythm Gupta — Google review
One of the touristy things to do on the island but it didn’t disappoint… well organised, short waiting time, and fantastic views from the top :) as is the well constructed bridge; glad I checked it out… you also get entry to the 3D art museum and some other things in the oriental village with the same ticket - we checked out the 3D art museum and it was quite enjoyable - nicer to have someone with you to take photos ;)
Sky Cab adventure sports center offers an unparalleled experience with its cable car ride up the lush Mt. Machincang, showcasing breathtaking vistas from its peak observation decks. While it's an excellent excursion for most, individuals with acrophobia may feel uneasy as the ascent is one of the world's steepest and quite daunting, particularly near the mid-point station. Compounding this fear is that for most of the journey below you will be a boundless chasm filled only with dense woods.
Amazing location, great facilities!
Total adventure during the cab ride. Thrilling journey to and fro!
A great location for people loves thrill and adventure!
Adequate parking facility and eateries along with loads of boutique stores and convenient stores!
A decent restaurant is located at hill top where you can snacking in the clouds!

Overall, a really great experience. The scenic view of the mountain, sea and settlements all around is second to none. However, it can be quite unnerving for people with fear of heights like me as it is really steep (one of the steepest in the world), especially right before reaching the middle station Furthermore, for majority of the ride, far far below you would just be an extremely vast abyss of nothing but forest, which makes it that much more scarier.

Very enjoyable cable car experience
Thrilling ride up the hill
August is rainy season but we were lucky to get good clear weather on the day of our attendance.
Didn't buy additional ticket for Skybridge as view from lookout point was amazing already
Managed to see seven wells waterfall on cable car - really beautiful. Although, view would be better if cable car glass door was a bit clearer. Thank you

This place is a must visit place if you go to Langkawi.
It feels nice to go up by a cable car to enjoy the sea and the island view around from up.
The drive to the Langkawi Skybridge Cable Car area took me around 20 minutes. Anyway, the island isn't that big and it is easy to hire a taxi to go there. The ticket price was fair to me, not cheap, but not expensive. You can easily buy it online.
It feels different to be up there enjoying the views. Also, there is a small cafeteria to sit and have a rest if you need to do so.

This is the best place you need to come here if you go to langkawi, i go here jan 1, 2024 and don't have many people visit... Must visit the best day to avoid crowded people, cant bring mineral water, can bring just put your own bottle, bring chocolate can but all must be put in a bag don't show security . .. put sunburn lotion,
I go here start opening and capture every moment. Very recommended don't miss it.

Bought tickets at Matta fair to only learn that it’s not fast lane and does not include the cable car ticket for Sky Bridge.
Instead to reach sky bridge you need to either top up RM10 per head for the cable car down, or hike for 10mins.
To be honest, there’s nothing much on the top besides the great scenery. It’s actually a shame that there’s nothing much to do besides taking some pictures.
ACM — Google review
Definitely worthwhile visiting this whilst in Langkawi. The cable car takes you to the top a few high viewing platforms where you can see some breathtaking, 365 degree views of the island and beyond.
The cable car itself isn't too expensive (we paid 85 MR per person) to go to the top. The ticket includes a few other gimmicks, but doesn't include the Sky Bridge access. The car itself goes at a steady pace up the line. You can pay extra for a private car or glass bottom car.
On the way to the car itself, there are a few shops (souvenir, drinks, food). Also note toilets have a fee of 0.50 MR).
Highly recommended!

Well maintained. Cannot bring water bottle to hill because they want visitors to buy it at hill for their business. RM 5 per bottle. Can drinks RM 4. Waiting period for sky glide almost 1 hour. No wheelchair access to hill.

Well worth the money. Doesn't feel like it will make it up as it's so high but when you do it's so spectacular. A lot of options on the packages though but worth a visit. Booked tickets the day before and didn't wait any time to get in and up just be prepared to share a car with other people if there isn't 6 of you

The queue was less crowded on the early morning (10.00 am). The staff had been trained professionally to handle the guests and great hospitality at the Skycab, Skybridge and 3D Arts. Stunning view can be seen from both the Skycab and Skybridge, with hills and sea which show the beauty of Langkawi island. Very recommend spot.

Views from cable car…
It’s worth the wait to have these best view from top…
Recommend to take tickets only when you are at the place as their won’t be any refund and entry to sky bridge is closed if there is any rain. Always try to go in Morning hours to avoid crowds and rain in the evenings.

I have to give 4 stars instead of 5 coz the whole place is not underprivileged friendly, especially for elderly and wheelchair users. Too many staircase and no ramp at all. However, for mobility free like youngsters, then is a good place.

Really fun, the ascent into the clouds was very steep so not for the feint of heart. Views from the first stop were amazing. Cloud coverage can be a pain so plan your trip accordingly. We went off-peak and did not have to wait long to board, though it is one of the busier attractions on the island. Plenty of souvenir shops and food nearby at the base.
Matt E — Google review
Fun cable car to ride and the area is very scenic. If you are brave, book the glass bottom car for some extra thrills.
Pro tip, at the top, one can wait (like for a while) for the sky car to go to the circular bridge, but is only a 10 min walk. Though the steps are pretty tall so I would not recommend it for those with bad knees.

Loved this... Read lots of reviews off waiting times etc . But mid morning on a Monday, we just walked straight in. No queues up or down.
I'm pretty adventurous, but I must admit it is very high! If you're unsure about heights, maybe think twice before you get on. But looks very impressive and safe enough for me.
We paid for sky can and sky bridge. Didn't do the eagle nest, but that looked impressive and didn't involve a lot of steps to get to like the sky bridge. So maybe suggest you buy the sky cab and eagle nest?!

Pantai Cenang is a popular sandy beach situated amidst a bustling strip of duty-free shops, souvenir stores, and restaurants. It offers great accommodation options like the stylish and friendly Langkawi Dormitorio with unique pod-like bunks or the Motel Aurora Damai with spacious and clean rooms. If you wish to wake up right next to the beach, choose Best Star Resort or Kunang Kunang Heritage Villa that boasts lush gardens and an outdoor swimming pool.
One of the best beaches that I'v ever seen. I called it "The Beach of Fire" because of the fire shows at the night. Many water activities can do here for all family members. There is a clean public toilet which is very import matter. White sands and mostly clean and clear sea. I hope to visit it again after Covid impct ends and the tourists come to visit Langkawi again massively. Now most of the tourism is local and increase on weekend days.

The must-go beachfront for all tourists visiting Langkawi Island where all the happenings are located around and along this beautiful beach. Stores selling condiments, finger food and drinks lined up along the beach front. A variety of water sports are available for hire throughout the day and beach front restaurants offers local dining experience during the evenings where fire throwing shows entertain diners and casual visitors alike. Beach is clean but water clarity is seasonal. Highly recommended.

The beach is nice. But there are too many cars bringing jetsky every morning to the beach and take them away in the evening while the beach is full of people. The sand is over compact . Not soft. The city council/tourist board need to find a solution, a place to store the jetsky and not have all the jeeps going up and down the beach.

My first visit to Langkawi and were glad we chose to stay at this beach. You have all the beach activities, night life and sunset viewing on this beach. The beach was clean except for some broken shells and big fish scales brought in during high tide.
Lovely beach to jog in the early morning when it was empty. Before 7am, part of the sky would be lighted by sunrise behind the beach.
In the evening, it was too crowded with boats and whatever motor vehicles for rent. Diesel smell was strong too.
All the cafes and pubs were by the beach if you want a shaded area plus refreshments or dinner watching sunset. There were night street market and fire show in the middle of the beach street by evening. Guess they are there every night because we saw them 2 nights in a row...on Thursday and Friday nights. Perfect beach holidays!

Such a disappointment. A beautiful beach destroyed by polluting water activities.
There are literally hundreds of jet-skis, banana or donut boats, paragliding etc.
Result:
1. The water is super dirty, you cannot see your feet even if they are 20cm deep.
2. The only smell you can feel on the beach is the gasoline and it sticks on you after a swim
3. It's scarry to go for a swim because they go super fast and they are dangerous as they might hit swimmers.
It's really a pity to see a spoiled paradise like this.

I'll never travel to Melaka without this trip planner again
The Pinang Peranakan Mansion is a heritage house that was converted into a museum in the early 1900s. It is full of antiques and artifacts from wealthy Chinese-born merchant Kapitan Chung Keng Kwee. The mansion has an eclectic East-meets-West charm and it is easy to spend hours exploring its rooms.
It is such a beautiful place jam packed with so much history. The mansion is so huge, you would definitely need to take your time to explore. Bonus: there is a souvenir shop tucked in the back of the mansion.
The staff was very friendly and gave us a free short tour of the mansion before we began exploring. The antiques and furniture were well maintained. There are many helpful info boards all around, you just have to keep your eyes out for it. The restoration of the building was done fantastically, making the mansion come to life
Faith Yeo — Google review
I highly recommend it to those traveling to Georgetown. You should never miss this attraction.
Entrance fee is affordable at RM20 per adult and totally worth the price. We visited at 10am during a public holiday and just in time for a mandarin tour at 10.30am which is very informative.
The mansion is so large that it is hardly noticeable from the outside, and I might have missed some areas without a guided tour. In addition, there are many antiques that are meticulously displayed.
I really appreciate the effort of the current owner to preserve this historical and cultural heritage, and presented to the public.

The Peranakan Mansion was full of history and you can feel it once you step into the place. We went for a guided English tour where the guide told us about the rich story behind this place.
You can easily immerse yourself here for hours, the mansion is huge. You need to take off your shoes for the 2nd floor so I would recommend wearing socks.

Visited the mansion in the afternoon. We reached the mansion pretty late so it was near closing time. However, we made it for the last tour of the day (English version). The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the mansion. He showed us and explained to us interesting facts and trivia about various designs and purposes. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Beautiful and well-preserved old architecture and furniture. I didn't join the guided tour which happens at certain time slots.
I brought my grandparents here and they love it. So many rooms and things to marvel at. Lots of places to rest and sit. Photo spots at every corner.
The gift shop in the museum is lovely as well.
We visited right when the museum opened at 10am and did not need to queue to enter.

The RM20 entry fee is well worth it - it's beautifully maintained and a delight to wander in.

Highly recommend a visit to this mansion and join a group with a guide in the museum that is included in the entrance ticket available in Mandarin and English. So rich in history and also gives a good visual representation of what it was like in Penang in the past. The links with China and also England, and also trade with European nations are seen in the objects and design of the mansion. Good to go a little earlier in the day as after the guided tour, there’s time to go around to take more photos and have a closer look at the extensive collections of antiques that tell their stories.

Beautiful mansion with a lot of interesting artifacts and a hearty guide (we had an elderly gentleman) who really has pride and insight into the rich memory of the place.
Also guests are allowed to touch almost everything and sit on all antique chairs and sofas, which brings a live spirit to the music rather than a stale atmosphere of dust of usual museums.
Great dive into history of local populace and their adventures!

The owner did a good job at refurbishing and preserving a piece of important history ! The collection was amazing.
I’m really glad that I visited this place, as I finally got to see how it looks inside of a heritage building. I’m still in awe of how rich the Peranakan culture is (and also how loaded someone could be). Throughout the guided tour, it’s apparent that some riches are just unattainable 😂 Out of reach for peasants like us…
Mr. Stanley was an amazing guide to us - an amazing storyteller. The storytelling was so vivid that you’ll feel as if you’ve travelled time. I’m pretty sure he’d repeated it so many times but his enthusiasm was palpable - through the clap of his hands.
Loved it. Highly recommend.

The tour guide in English was so nice and funny! Sometimes, the accent was difficult to follow as he was wearing a face cover/mask. The house is huge and lots to explore in one hour.
Definitely recommend doing the free tour. Otherwise, it's hard to appreciate!
What I liked most is the fact that you can sit and touch almost everything, unlike other museums.
You can also go in and out as you wish all day.
I highly recommend visiting.
Bonus points as King Charles and Queen Consort Camila visited a few years ago, and they also do movie scenes there like Crazy Rich Asians!

I think it's fairly an old hotel from the way it looks inside. Neat and tidy though. All amenities are available and the standard room is a good sized one.
It's centrally located and near a shopping mall. There is also a moderate sized swimming pool and gym. Good for a family stay. There are many small departmental stores nearby so it's convenient if u need any quick eats or drinks.
Lots of street foods just a few minutes walk away. The front desk staff are very courteous and there is also a large spacious cafe in the lobby area. Would love to come back again.

English guide tour started at 130pm on a Monday when I visited, but I think honestly that you could show up anytime and there will be a tour you can catch with just a bit of a wait. There is an upstairs section where no shoes are allowed which isn’t covered by the tour, so that could be a good way to fill time.
Bring cash to pay for your ticket (25 ringgit) if you’re in a small group. I did see card payment accepted but for a tour group of 17 people.
If the blue mansion is the immaculately adorned Nyonya without a single hair out of place, this is the fun sister with a reputation for the best gossip. Walking through this place felt like visiting family. If you need to sit for a break, I recommend the jewelry section as it’s one of the few air conditioned spots.

It's a really historical mansion, with many interesting things to know about! However the ventilation situation really isn't the best... Yes there are standing fans to help blow air, but in most of the mansion, it's really hot and not a lot of fresh air flowing in. Also you need to take off your shoes if you want to explore up to the 2nd level as well (but the things are really interesting!) there's also a tour where your tour guide will tell you more information about the mansion.

Pinang Peranakan Mansion: A Glimpse into the Past, But Not Without Quirks
The Pinang Peranakan Mansion offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich heritage of Penang's Peranakan culture. The 45-minute guided tour, led by an excellent, comedic guide (kudos to them!), was informative and engaging, bringing the history of the mansion and its inhabitants to life.
However, the experience is a bit uneven. The mansion itself boasts some truly stunning rooms, showcasing exquisite Peranakan furniture, intricate tilework, and beautiful textiles. These sections truly transport you back in time.
On the other hand, some rooms felt a bit average, with displays that weren't quite as captivating.
Another curious feature is the rather large on-site restaurant. While it might be convenient for grabbing a bite after the tour, its presence felt a bit out of place nestled within the historic mansion.
The gift shop also left me scratching my head. While Peranakan souvenirs are expected, the inclusion of generic items like Marvel character keychains felt jarringly out of place.
Customer Service is not their greatest strength. Even when buying tickets. They’re reluctant to accept card payments. Was told originally ‘Cash Only’ and has to be more than 100 Ringgit, which doesn’t make any sense. Eventually a card reader is shown and card payments are accepted, when I’d just paid 50 Ringgit. The person selling tickets also has a negative attitude and was very unprofessional. There’s also the slight issue of the sticker to wear to show you’ve paid for your ticket. I told them I’ll place the sticker, where I want it to be, not to be dictated.
You have time slots for either an English or Chinese tour guide.
Overall, the Pinang Peranakan Mansion is worth a visit, especially if you're interested in Penang's cultural heritage. Just be prepared for a mixed bag – breathtaking rooms and historical insights alongside some slightly odd additions.
Getting there is easy. You can hail a Grab taxi or, if you're feeling adventurous and the Penang heat isn't too oppressive, it's definitely walkable.

They have english/chinese tours every 30 minutes (though the chinese tours are only every hour or so, I believe). If you're bilingual, I recommend the Chinese tour because it's more in-depth, at least based on what I overheard. Though the English guide is also very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable.

An opulent, well-maintained and magnificent looking Peranakan house, both exterior and interior, with history and heritage. Many interesting items on display.

This is one of the must visit places when in Penang.
It's a historical house that a rich Chinese businessman had built in the late 1800s early 1900s.
The businessman was so rich that he also built a Chinese Temple next door, as well as a separate museum, with a dining room and kitchen buildings at the rear.
A lovely mansion that is well furnished with beautiful furnishings, and easily takes you back to yesteryear.
The Temple, museum and the kitchen are also worth visiting and are all included in the one entry price of 25RM as at Oct 2023.
I visited during the off-peak season and it was somewhat busy, but in peak season it could possibly be crowded.
The buildings are air-conditioned and this makes for an excellent atmosphere and encourages taking the time to view all that is on display. Allow between 1-3 hours to see everything depending on how much time you wish to spend taking in the great experience and looking at all the wonderful features, details and displays.
The history of how he made his fortune, including tin mining, is also interesting and worth reading about.
Excellent attraction. Enjoy.

Penang Hill is a tourist attraction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which offers panoramic views of the city below. The mountain peak is also home to colonial-era hotels and bungalows, a suspended walkway canopy walk called The Habitat, a mosque and a Hindu temple. Penang Hill is also close to the Kek Lok Si Temple, within 3 km of its vicinity.
I consider Penang hill as the icon of Penang. As a tourist you must visit it otherwise don't come to Penang ^_^. you will be lucky if visit it in normal days (not public holidays or weekend) because you have to wait in long queues for more than hour to get into the train.
Up there, the view is charming, pure air, and lots of odd plants you can see. if you like hiking, this is the ideal place to enjoy the amazing nature. otherwise, you can get into a car against 5-10 RM.
You can enjoy many activities there such as purchasing love locks and write your name with your lover then lock it on a fence. also there is Owl museum, some shops and restaurants.

It is a view point of this city. The entrance fee is 30 RM roundtrip . The top has a very beautiful view. And there is a great botanical garden. There are trees, flowers that are rare to see. The weather is good, 15 degrees, the height is 800 meters.

It’s so kitschy and so touristy but this is one way to enjoy the overview of Georgetown. Temperatures here are also a delightful treat after the humidity of the lowlands. The funicular train also adds to the excitement of ascending and descending this place.
Do hire a buggy at MYR 30 per head to explore the place expediently. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature with a few surprises from monkeys and giant squirrels.

Went in at 9am in the morning on Friday, there was a small crowd waiting for the rail already.
Managed to get on the second rail, and the ride up took <5minutes.
There weren’t many people in the morning, thus, quite enjoyable to sightsee.
It got crowded at 12+pm, and we were about to leave… The queue for the rail got crowded.!
Good to go in the morning to avoid the crowd!

Super touristy place to visit but worth doing if you're here in Penang. I recommend the pass otherwise you'll be waiting in line a long time to go up OR down. The extra 10 ringgit allows you to skip the line.
If you like to walk, at the top I suggest checking out ask the trails. You can of course walk down the mountain. It takes about 2 hours.
If you don't like walking so much, you can hire a little car to drive you around or to the coffee shop at the end of a road. It comes with a ride back too.
We decided instead to walk back so we could stop and take pictures. Totally worth it.
The earlier you come the better the experience will be. Less lines, less tourists, less heat.

⚠️2 hours to wait in a huge queue even in weekdays to go up and down the hill if you didn't buy the fast pass. Buy the fast pass and it's only 10min to wait... MUCH FASTER!
Train ride was fun, view was nice, you can walk around a bit. Didn't love it but seems like a thing to do in Penang.

It is a beautiful small hill where you can see the whole city view. The jeep service can take you on 700M on top of the hill where you can find Hindu temple and a bunch of other stores.

We left our hotel very early in the morning to catch the bus to Penang Hill. It took us about an hour or so. When we arrived we had the option of taking the train or walking. We chose to walk and enjoy the scenery. Personally I underestimated how long it would take us and how far it was but all in all it was great way to spend the day walking up to the hill and checking out different things along the way. We made plenty of stops along the way and took our time. the views were amazing the further you got up the hill. When we reached the top of the hill we walked around the temple and checked out what was around. A lot of things you had to pay for so we just decided to walk around and see what was up there. If you plan to walk up I would defiantly recommend going for when it opens as it's cooler and less humid. Once the sun comes out it gets scorching hot. Once we were finished walking around the top of the hill we decided to walk back down but the other side where there was a garden with lots of birds and many monkeys. The walk down was 7km and all down hill. Our legs were like Jell-O but it was a nice walk.

One of the popular tourist attraction is Penang. Located near Georgetown. Easy to find and public parking available here for a fee. I visited recentlly on a weekend. It was very crowded and waiting time for Furnicular train/Tram was almost more than an hour. Tickets can be bought at the counter for 1 or 2 way to/from the Penang hill. There is a food court up there and also a buggy service for visitors to tour the hill area for a fee. There are attractions such as Tge Habitat, Old and historical buildings, a Coffee shop and a Museum etc. Best thing to witbess is beatifull views of Georgetown and other nearby Islands. Management should take a note that there was no physical distancing in the Furnicular train.

We bought the fast lane tickets for trains. But since the school holidays, many queued. The view was amazing, the food up there was delicious and there are many beautiful views from the top of the hill. But overall, we enjoyed our trip here. Worth every penny. Will definitely be back again.

Unfortunately the viewing deck was under construction when I visited. There are some nice spots where you still can enjoy a good view from the hill. If you visit this place during a workday or Sunday there most probably won’t be any queues. If the weather is clear, during sunset the views should be very nice. Also, you can find some very pretty monkeys there. If you are in Penang definitely recommend.

We came here on a Monday late morning around 10 am. It was not crowded and brisk getting the standard ticket, and up we go to the top of Penang Hill.
There were quite a lot of tourist attractions at the top of the hill. We choose to do the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk. It cost around MYR 60 Per Adult. It was a great walk for city folk with nice scenery.
Alternatively, a family of five can hop on bungee ride for MYR 30.
We suggest to avoid weekend and local public holidays as we heard it is usually crowded.

A boring place honestly, in the top messy place and nothing to do , there is no activities no something enjoyable! Just messy place, I wish the management to improve it by making some activities and by managing the place and clean it !! To be honest the only amazing things is the tram 🙂, even it was fully of people so you cannot see anything. 😅

Penang has a very good hiking trail. From bottom of the hill to top you need to use about 2-3 hours. You can use the mid station if you feel tired on the halfway. You can buy the return ticket before you start hiking preferably before 830am to get the half price discount. There is also nice food and red bean ice to enjoy on the hill.

Excellent place to visit when in Penang, Malaysia.
The funicular train takes us from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill. It is a very good experience, almost like a roller coaster.
The views from the top of the hill are amazing and the best time to go to this place would be at the time of sunset perhaps.
Plan this one carefully. The tickets, the time of the day, etc.

Went on a Monday at 8.30 am. It was also during Ramadan. Queue was short at that time. Waited 15 minutes. We got the standard ticket online, didn't pay for the express. Some food and drink stalls at the top station were open as shown in the photo. Drinks about 8 Ringgit each. We asked at the information booth just outside the top station about the places to go and directions cos we couldn't make it out from the map provided. They were helpful. It was reasonably cool in the shade and there was quite a bit of shade along the main 2km path but quite hot in the sun. When we got to the Monkey Cup, we were too tired and hot to walk back uphill. Fortunately, we could take one of the buggys back up for 15 Ringgit. We didn't go into the Habitat.

Beautiful view and nature once you are up the hill, but here all good things end.
I don’t mind the crowds during holidays if it’s the only time to see something, but some outright bad things are:
1) Waiting- you have to buy a ticket and are told to wait for almost 2 hours to go up the funicular. In reality you spend 2,5+ hours in a queue and waiting.
2) Tickets are sold by “batches” with numbers. Once it’s your batch time, you proceed to the boarding queue. Waiting patiently in line only to be mixed in the end with all other people so that people with batch numbers bought after you end up in front of you instead. For example, our number was 45 but there were 46 and 47 people in front of us.
3) No huts/shelters from the rain. It rains sometimes, hard, and you simply have nowplace to wait it out.
4) Return queue: when you come totally soaked to go down, you are told to wait another 2 hours or buy express lane tickets 3 times more expensive than usual ones.
And in the end, both express and usual waiting people just mix and gash in into the crowded cabins.
All in all, worst mountain funicular organization out of all countries I ever encountered. Langkawi Sky Bridge is a good comparison- same country, much better queqe handling.

Penang Hill is a great escape from the busy streets of Georgetown. The funicular railway ride to the top is a fun experience in itself, offering stunning views as you climb. Once at the summit, you're rewarded with fresh air, rainforests trails, and a breathtaking panorama of Penang Island. Whether you seek relaxation or light adventure, Penang Hill offers something for everyone. Just beware of potentially long queues, especially during peak hours.

This is a great place to enjoy the cool breeze and beautiful views. I am really enjoyed it. I am followed the tour guide. The tour guide explained the place really well. I am understand everything. When I am entered, the queue was full with people. It was really crowded. I felt very unfair to them because they had to wait. I am waiting for the funicular train to arrive. After a while, the train came. According to the website, the train can transport 800 passengers per hour. The train came up really fast. I could feel the cool breeze hitting me as I stepped out of the train. I am taking some photos. I went to Astaka Bukit Bendera. Taking pictures is my favourite. I went for a ride, up and down, and it was quite chilling. One lesson I learned is don't try to offend, when they take you to the end (I guess the end over there because I saw a coffee shop) they ask you do you want to have coffee here? Say yes if you have time, say no if you don't because they will leave you there. I am having a great time here. Really had a great time. The view is superb. I will come here again alone in the future.

The funicular ride was interesting but make sure you stand closer to a window, so that you won't miss the view! You can get a nice view of the whole city and the sea from the top of the mountain. We also went on a buggy ride. Traveling on holidays will be a bit uncomfortable if you are not the type of person to wait in queues for around 1 - 2 hours.
Kek Lok Si Temple, located on the White Crane Mountain in Penang, Malaysia, is the largest Chinese Buddhist temple in the country. Built in 1889, it showcases a blend of architectural styles from China, Thailand, and Myanmar. The temple complex is divided into lower, middle, and hilltop sections featuring intricate decor and numerous Buddha images. Visitors can explore various religious and cultural structures as well as beautifully landscaped gardens.
One of the largest and yet well maintained Buddhist temples in Malaysia. The temple complex has several prayer halls alongside gardens, and of course the famous statue of Guanyin.
While the temple has excellent facilities to ferry visitors from one site to another, it is recommended to walk around and explore instead. The temple has a rich history that must be experienced first hand.

Great and really beautiful temple. All entrance is free. You only need to pay for parking and if you want to use the cable cars. But everything is also walkable and there is a bus station close.
The view to the city is also worth the little hike.
The big statue is really big and tall. Which makes it hard to see it fully close as the platform is to small in ratio to the height of the statue.
To see all plan around 2 hours.
Down besides the first car park is a turtle pond.

Beautiful temple worth visiting and looking around. There are multiple levels and you can hike up I think or your can pay at each stage for a round trip ticket.
You pay at each station. You can't buy everything in advance. I suggest going to the top as fast as possible then working your way down.
There's a lot to see and a lot of extra stuff to do for blessings and merit driven offerings.
Just go. It's beautiful.
Scott Wilson — Google review
Beautiful temple. Worth visiting. Free of charge, except for the pagoda where you have to pay RM2 (worth it).
You don't need to take the cable car except for when you want to go to the statue. Otherwise you're fine of just walking :).
Lilly Schutz — Google review
Recommend to visit on morning or evening, if you're coming when night, it's going to be a very different situation. First of all, parking. The parking will be very super difficult to be found , if you are unlucky you might find no parking, it's almost impossible to park there without giving those Indian money.( Cost around rm3-10)
Second, prepare water if you want to visit to the guanyin temple, you might to walk for a 15 minute to reach there, if you reach there when night, you need to pay extra in order to visit inside , but there's also a cable car service there, you can try it if you wish to.
However, apparently Malaysia are known for its heartwarming scorching Weather, so please choose a perfect time to visit if you don't wish to have a sunburnt. Recommend 6-7pm

Info: If you want to reach the statue, take the elevator up and down. Otherwise, you have to follow a steep road with no pedestrian path, walking out and around the whole temple area. 6 RM (03/24) is a fair price for the short cable car ride.
Otherwise, I recommend going to the pagoda with its 7 levels. Beautiful view and nice garden around. Admission is 2 RM.
The whole temple is really worth seeing and was a big highlight of our 2 weeks in Malaysia.

One of the most recognized Chinese temple in Malaysia. Its a good picnic spot for families. The deities are huge and amazing. Parking is bit of a challenge on the peak days. Many days lower ground parking is closed for public. If anyone wants, they can visit air hitam dam which is 2 kms ahead of the temple.

Kek Lok Si is a nice and impressive temple that is definitely worth a visit.
The temple consists of several layers and is very easy to reach with small elevators (paid).
There are men who drive back and forth with electric vans.
In the high season I wonder if it is worth visiting the temple, we were there outside the main season and it was already a long wait for the elevators.
Once at the top you have a beautiful view of the city and there are ponds with dozens (perhaps hundreds) of turtles to see.

The architecture of the top pagoda is just brilliant. If you don't not wish to take stairs, the cable car rides are available 16ringgit per adults. There are some maintenance maybe required maybe due to 2 years of covid. Still a must go place if you visit penang.

The most beautiful and colorful Buddhist temple I have ever seen in Malaysia. It is located on a hill so the views from there are spectacular. It is huge inside with so many golden statues that will leave you breathless. There's a giant Buddha on top of the hill that you need to take a funicular for, it's not necessary in my own opinion, since the temple has already much to offer. Must visit if you are in Penang, you can combine it in one trip with the hill

The view outside the temple hill was stunning. However, our visit was abruptly cut short when one of the unpleasant employees told us to leave unless we paid for the visit in the temple. He could have explained it respectfully, and we would have likely continued with the visit. After experiencing such attitude we departed quickly without exploring further.

The place is located over a hilltop with a beautiful view. The statue of Buddha is really huge a magnificent sight. The temple nearby, also is peaceful. There are lifts that carry you to the top for RM16 ( both ways),else walking can also be considered. The surroundings are all beautifully maintained and the fish and tortoise ponds , fountain are really nice. Better to come when the sun is low ,else the heat can be unbearable. The view of the Penang city can be seen from above

This temple is breathtaking and historical. Situated on the hills of Penang.
The intricate architecture, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details.
The temple area features a series of prayer halls, pagodas, and landscaped gardens. Visitors may take the inclined lift or stairs to reach the temple. The atmosphere is serene and spiritual, with the sound of bells and the scent of incense permeating the air.
The Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas is mesmerizing, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
As you explore the temple's various levels, you'll find a harmonious blend of Buddhist influences from different cultures. The towering statue of the Goddess of Mercy (Kuan Yin) is particularly impressive.
It's not only a place of worship but also a cultural attraction.
The Kek Lok Si Temple is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable experience.

The largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. Built 1890-1930. Take a picture of the seven-story 30m (98ft) high pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It combines a Chinese octagonal base, Thai middle tier and a Burmese crown.
Don't forget to take a funicular ride to the magnificent Guanyin broze statue (36.57m/230ft.) Ringgit and cash only. We did manager to pay in $ after much of deliberation.
A must see.

A must see (though not in the hot sun...)! Be careful when driving all the way up as it is easy to miss the turn left into the temple at the highest tier. A $3 parking fee is needed before you can proceed further in.
The photos don't do justice to the majesty of the statues. If you would like to, different types of prayers can be offered at the main prayer hall . No comments about other parts of the temple at the middle or lower tier as we just wanted to visit the guanying statue.

My first visit to this temple in day and night on the same day. It is so astonishing looking at the lights that lit up the whole temple. It is such a beauty in the night. I am a visitor and was told that the temple was lit up during this Lunar new year 2024. I am so lucky to catch the view of this beauty. My holiday here is fruitful so far. Would recommend people to pay a visit during the day though you may not have the opportunity to see the night lights.

The Kek Lok Si Temple was definitely a highlight of my trip to Penang! It's massive and full of incredible details - colorful statues, intricate carvings, and beautiful pagodas.
It's a great place to wander around, take photos, and learn a bit about Buddhism. We saw people praying and offering incense, which added to the cultural experience. There's even a pagoda with ten thousand Buddhas - it's quite a sight! Beware though, some of the stairs can be steep, so wear comfortable shoes. Overall, a must-visit for any tourist in Penang!

Beautiful temple complex and views noting that I found the views of the island/city from the top of the main funicular ride to the Habitat to be better.
I am going to focus in funicular as I found the experience confusing.
You can buy a one way or return ticket at the base of the temple for the funicular. In 2024 one way was 8RM. Keep your ticket hand as you have to show it twice on the way up. The ticket covers a short funicular ride (so wait was less than 5 minutes) which takes you to a buggy that drive you up the hill a ways to a large gift shop. Walk through this to the left to get on another funicular which takes you the rest of the way to the temple. All of this is included on the one ticket. Also- you need to push the buttons in both funiculars yourself to go up/to the next level.

The place is huge and amazing! Could have more signs to help finding all the spots (I went straight to the top by lift and almost lost the main temple! So take your time. My advice is: to go up first taking the lifts and then go down walking to explore all the rest of the temple. You need to pay 2RM to see the main pagoda but it is worth it. Outside, next to the entrance, there is a lake full of turtles).

The temple complex included several temples on the hillside. You can reach the top temple using an elevator or by climbing the stairs. It may be a bit tiring, but it's definitely worth it because the view is breathtaking. It was one of the most stunning places I visited in Malaysia. The entrance to the temple complex is free, but there is a small fee of 2 RM to enter the final temple, which is a 7-floor building.

It can be improved somehow. There are many activities in the theme park, it is a good place for the holiday of the family

Fast service when we call the operator. One of our toilets can't flush and we were told we need to manually fill the tank with water before we flush each time. The water splashed from the toilet bowl when the plumber tried to fix it and we had to clean the toilet. The breakfast selection and quality is not as good as other similar hotels. Need to walk across a road to get to the breakfast location too. We are not allowed to request for extra towels but we can request to change towels. The hotel WiFi doesn't work properly. Some of us can't even connect even though we requested help from staff.

One of the main issues I encountered was with the secondary lock on my room door. Unfortunately, it couldn't lock properly, which left me feeling a bit uneasy about the security of my belongings.
Another problem was the shower heater. Although there was hot water flowing from the basin, the shower heater itself seemed to be malfunctioning. It left me puzzled as to whether the issue was with the heater or something else.
The air conditioning in the room was also a bit of a letdown. It was kind of noisy, but I managed to bear with it. However, I believe it's an aspect that could be improved for a more comfortable stay.
Lastly, the person in charge of handling luggage seemed a bit clueless, as he parked his van right in the middle of the road to load the luggage. This caused a major inconvenience for other vehicles trying to pass through.
To make matters worse, once all the customers and luggage were onboarded, the driver decided to engage in a chat with the hotel staff. This led to traffic jam forming behind the van.
Interestingly, I couldn't help but notice that there was a dedicated parking area right near the lobby entrance, specifically intended for vehicles like the van. It left me puzzled as to why the driver didn't opt to use this convenient parking spot, which could have avoided the unnecessary obstruction and delays.
While my stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, this transport mishap certainly left a lasting impression. It's my hope that the hotel management takes note of this feedback and addresses the transport arrangement issues to ensure smoother experiences for guests.

Just across the street to Lost World of Tambun. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. I can't remember the last time a hostel staff actually explained in detail how to get to our room. Excellent service. Our room was clean and nice. We love the complimentary Ipoh white coffee!

Last time we stayed here was a few years ago. I can see that the hotel improved a lot. The hotel is soooo much nicer now. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was okay. There are buffet sections as well as some stalls for omelette, noodle etc.
Overall a pleasant stay. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Deluxe Room is very roomy, clean and comfortable. Easy access to Lost World Theme Park. Staff was great and friendly!
We went for the night park. Nothing much apart for the hot spring tbh. We didn't go for the day park so I can't comment on that.

Love it that they provide refillable water and were very quick with sending the refills over. Didn't like it as their pillow and sheets smells. Bring ur own pillow case. Stay here if you're planning to go to the theme park as there's 2 free night park tickets and 35% off for day park tickets. Room comes with 2 free breakfast but too many good food in Ipoh to try their breakfast. Room can accommodate up to 4 people. Extra roll away bed costs RM160.

Spent a couple of days there and very convenient if you are visiting the Lost World park. Rooms could have been cleaned a bit more regularly but it was comfortable. Service was very good. If you require anything, call reception and somebody is sent within minutes. Overall, had a good stay.

It is a old hotel. Dated room. Bathroom needs renovation. Water pressure of shower head is too weak. They only provide 1 shower gel and 1 shampoo. For a family to use ? Bring your own amenities. Breakfast is okay. Staff service is great. It is a raining day and all water comes inside our room through windows (which are all closed). We call reception desk, they just send someone to clean up the floor and did not change another room to us. Around 12:30 am. Guest from other rooms yelling and pounding the other guest room door and last for at least 30 minutes. I have such bed experience. However all staff are very nice and friendly.

The front counter, housekeeping and maintenance staff were friendly and helpful. Requests for drinking water were always fulfilled promptly.
We had issue with the lack of water heating when we first checked in, but maintenance had it resolved quickly upon feedback.
Overall, room was spacious and clean. Sufficient amenities provided for our one night stay there. Will definitely recommend if you want to visit the lost world theme park.

Great customer service and very comfortable bed. But unfortunately 1 lift is out of service. Location just opposite theme park. Very convenience. But if you are looking for chinese food, you will need to drive out. Night park fire performance is a must to see.

The room is clean and all important features such as kettle,hair dryer, fridge, Aircon, tv remote control, water heater and lights all work fine. The air conditioning blowers are facing both sides of the bed to ensure even distribution of cool air. I love the practice of using glass bottles for drinking water instead of single -use plastic bottles. Nice complementary coffee too. Friendly staff and nice hot spring facility. My family really enjoyed our stay there.

Nice hotel,easily accessible. Right in front of the waterpark. Wheelchair and stroller friendly. For breakfast buffet had to cross the road. Not so much varieties. Hopefully they can serve more toddler friendly food - other than cereal and highly processed sausages. Maybe some fried rice or fried chicken.

This is a family friendly hotel, very near to the theme park, plenty of parking space. The room is very spacious, clean and the amenities are great! The breakfast is nice.

We went during peak season. The room is fairly basic for the price we pay. We changed 2 rooms due to aircondition was not being cold. The staff upgraded us to a bigger room with 2 ceiling mount aircondition. 5 stars for their excellent service.

I was last at Sunway Lost World Hotel 10 years ago. Perhaps it was recently refreshed then, but I remember it being rather good. I checked into this hotel last weekend and found that it is unfortunately not as nice as I remember.
During my 3d 2n stay, my family only experienced hot water all of once. When I complained to the front desk, they sent a maintenance guy who recommended we leave the water running until it was hot. It was obvious there was prior repair work in my bathroom (as well as around the room) in the past and, it was also quite obviously shoddy work. Despite not having any hot water, I suppose it was okay for it to be not cold, at least it was a little bit warm.
Another thing that really irked me, was how I could not replenish my water without first surrendering a bottle. Why is it I can only have 2 bottles in the room at any time? @Sunway Lost World Hotel, if you are reading this, those glass bottles really are not worth nicking -- your housekeeping team did their best to explain, but I must say I was annoyed. Bogged down by rigid policies.
This being Ipoh, I skipped having meals (breakfast) at the hotel; opting to go out for food instead. But on a rainy night, ordering food for in-room dining was a really unpleasant experience, given there was only one chair (and no sofa) in our corner room. Plenty of space, but one working desk, one chair and nowhere civil to place the food -- what a wasted opportunity!
However, I must commend the great staff: from front-desk to housekeeping, who were warm, friendly, patient and seemed to genuinely want to help. Service alone, I'd rate them 4/5. They deserve a pat on their backs, although it feels as though they are struggling with the tools they are provided with.
The hotel is just a 5 min walk away from the theme park (which also feels significantly aged since I was last there), and is in decent proximity to most other amenities (fast food, petrol station, pharmacy, grocery store, etc). Town and most of the local fare is in the city center, some 15-20 mins drive away... but there is always Grab if you are too tired to drive out for dinner.
All things considered -- I regard the stay as value for money, as room stay also included entry into the theme park (which my kid thoroughly enjoyed). There's no discounting how this is really a budget hotel, but great value for the attached water theme park.

The staff deserves special recognition for their warmth and attentiveness. Every member, from the front desk to the housekeeping, went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. They were not only professional but also genuinely friendly, making me feel welcomed throughout my entire stay.

This hotel isn’t too bad, but not really worth the price. They seem short of staff but they do try their best to help us as fast as they can. They were also short of utilities like towels, so we had to wait quite a while for them after coming back from the hot springs!
Besides that, the shower head did not have hot water most of the time and the pressure was really low.
But other than that, it was an okay hotel for a few days to bunk in. Food was also okay! I would recommend this hotel just to sleep and eat, but not to relax the whole day and watch TV kinda holiday. Enjoy! :)

Rooms a bit old. But yeah its clean like 3 stars hotel. Bed, bathroom, small tv, aircond. Your typical 3 stars hotel.
But service is top notch. Especially when ask them to adjust the aircond fan, and refill water. Very fast and helpful. They also provide baby cot which is such a plus point for parents with small baby.
Location is strstegic near to the main city, easy to go everywhere and the waterpark is just infront of the hotel.
Breakfast : they provide simple food not something amazing. Can eat thats all. Not a lot variety just nasi lemak, cereal, noodle, porridge. With very fewwwwwww side dishes . (When we come also everything empty already)
But its ok since our plan also going to explore ipoh delicacies and play inside waterpark.
TV only tv cable dont have any nice to watch, especially when u have a bored toddler it would be suck. Nothing to watch at all.
Aircond nice cool and strong (best, especially in ipoh hot weather)
Toilet water is very weak so when u need to do ypur business. You will have a bit anxiety when u flush. But ok lah after 30 mins u try to flush again it will go down.
Shower is ok. Hot water just fine.
The best thing i noticed from the hotel they write everything on the bottle that we can just call to refill our water. Which is so glad to read. Not all hotel will tell u that. Because some hotel will only provide 2 mineral water. And since they support sustainability they will help us refill our water. And service once again was superb. It was really fast and helpful.
Outside room door would be a bit creepy and oldie when u walk. Maybe a bit renov might sound better. Indeed it was an old hotel, but luckily because of the waterpark got a lot peoples staying in this hotel so it feel less creepy. BUT IT WAS A GREAT STAY AFTER ALL.

The Cameron Bharat Tea Estates is a breathtaking sight that covers vast hillsides and mountains, established in 1933. As the second-largest tea producer in Malaysia, it exports its delightful teas worldwide. The estate offers an audio-visual presentation on Bharat's history and the tea-making process. Tourists flock to this plantation for its scenic views, extensive tea variety, delectable cakes and scones, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and tea lovers alike.
Feel completely disconnected from the urban hustle when you enter this plantation. Numerous viewpoints, refreshing climate and gentle sways of tea leaves, it was a memorable experience.
Better to not take the shutter as it cuts off the authentic experience. Wander around by foot for only RM3/person.

Hot tea, scones and chicken soup with a view. Don't take too many photos. You'll miss the feeling & the true beauty of this place. Take some photos, then put down your hp & camera. Enjoy the view, feel the good taste of hot tea & appreciate the nature.
That's how you should do when you come to a place like this.
Oh, an important tip that most people already know about Cameron Highlands, just don't come during school holiday or public holiday.
Hazizi Hasani — Google review
Entrance fee is 4 ringgit for each person, big shop for buying different taste of tea maybe 20 different taste. I really recommend the masala tea it’s amazing. There is also big restaurant with tea plantation view at this place. The sad thing about tea plantations is that they cut big part of jungle for the tea 😢 this tea plantation is accessible by walking around 45 minutes from town but beside the road it’s not completely safe.

The guide who gave us the briefing at the tea factory was very informative. The lady at the tea shop and cafe are very informative, friendly and warm too. Drinks are ok. Didn't take any food. But surely I bought all the specialty premium tea varieties.

We enjoyed your first stop to Cameron Highlands. We were welcomed with a beautiful weather in this place now called Cameron Valley (Bharat Group).
Had some quite decent food. (Just note there are quite lots of harmless flies 😵💫). So probably dont eat just as you enter the place but have a nice tea in the valley below.
You will need to buy tickets to enter.
The view was awesome. The valley where the buggy took us was beautiful that has a nice stream and mini waterfall. We had a great time just exploring the place.

This was the epitome of my trip in Cameron Highlands. I specifically came to Cameron Highlands to look around tea fields as a tea professional. I was disappointed by the other tea plantation that is famous in the area.
Bharat Tea Plantations (=Cameron Valley Tea) was on the other hand had the scenery and happy tea plants as I hoped to see.
It was chill, peaceful, no rushness. Also the fields are scattered, even when there were people it didn't feel too crowded compared to the other place.
The only thing I wish was the cafe had better selection of menu tailored to Cameron Valley Tea & Food. It was very generic and touristic that didn't seem to align well with the tea plantation.

This is a must visit! If you love beautiful landscapes, nature or mindfulness, make sure you allocate more than an hour for your visit. They have created an oasis here and put a lot of effort into creating lots of pockets of scenic and picture perfect mini spots that also allows some group privacy whilst still being part of the community. It's no wonder we saw a group of people heading here for a pre-wedding photoshoot. Their cafe staff definitely knows how to make their tea shine. They have plenty of seating well spaced out and well distributed all across the site. Decent amount of shaded seating available, some under natural tree canopies, others under umbrellas. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting this place!

We had visited BOH tea garden before so wanted to see new places, one of the tour agent suggested this place.
Very near to Tanah rata bus terminal, we visited around 8:30 didn't get any traffic.
Not much crowd so didn't have any wait time. We book buggy ride (15 rm), people were also walking down. Buggy ride took us to artifical waterfall, although artificial the place was very beautiful and looked natural. Took very good pictures there. They also have ATV ride, we didn't take, but was around 70 RM for 2 persons. We also had scones and breaded Chicken Satay (unfortunately not much veg options).Food was very tasty
Overall loved the place, would recommend it.
Priyadarshan Salkar — Google review
The most captivating spot in Cameron Highlands! No entrance fee, but there’s a surcharge for the mini-bus ride, totally worth it. They’re fair to tourists. You can even stroll if you’re up for it. Definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!
Beehunt Travel — Google review
The first tea plantation open to the tourists & public when one nears the town of Tanah Rata on the approach to Cameron Highlands.
One can savour a cup of the Cameron Valley Tea produced here. Finger food are also available if so desirous
The cafe offers a magnificent view of the tea plantation with a mini water fall in the distant below
If one is desirous of going into the plantation to take photos amongst the tea plants ; then the entry fee would be RM 4.00 per person if one walks down. And it is a long walk down
Alternatively, if one takes the electric buggy then the entry fee would be RM 15.00
After a respite of about an hour here; we went to the teashop here and bought numerous fruit flavoured tea .
Definitely a good place for instagrammable pics

The tea fields were wonderful to walk around. I hiked in from the back side after hiking from Mount Basar and that was nice because I had some paths all to myself. Once I reached the main area the waterfall is nice and there are old signs directing you. The walk up the hill to the tea house wasn’t difficult. I bought a wristband since I came through the back, only RM4. I got an ice cream(which came with a balloon haha) and the staff were very nice and let me charge my phone which had died. There were some photos of the tea making process in the shop.

Batu Caves, located in Kuala Lumpur, is a must-see destination with its ancient limestone caves and Hindu temples. The 400-million-year-old mystical caves are nestled within a massive limestone cliff and have been an important religious site for Hindus. In 2018, the entire complex was renovated, including the iconic rainbow-colored staircase that has made it a popular spot for Instagram-worthy photos.
Gorgeous cave with beautiful surrounding, it's amazing how much work and dedication were put together to make a site of worship for its followers. It's far from city center but definitely worse visiting, there are different ways to get there, we took taxi from our hotel and driver was more than happy to wait for us to get a second fare (apparently sometimes is hard to find a cab during rush hours).
While you're there be aware of monkeys, don't leave phones, small camera or other belonging away from yourself, they're fast, they grab things even plastic bags from people and run away. Make sure you don't give up, climb all the steps, inside the cave is huge and beautiful. If you decide to go inside the temple.

Batu caves is an amazing place. It's not just a temple, it's a symbol of Malaysia and what it represents.
Parking is rm2, toilet is rm0.50, but visiting the temples themselves is free.
Dress code for men, shorts and shirt.
Women, please wear shirts and to cover the knees and ankles. Sarongs to rent readily available for rm15.
Steps are steep, so not accessible for anyone walking impaired.
Bird feeding grain available for a few. Bananas and fruit available to buy to feed the monkeys. Please do not hold or grab the monkeys. Although wild, they are used to visitors and will freely walk amongst visitors. Photo taking is encouraged.
Toilets not available at the temples and only available at the base. Toilets are very clean and well kept.
Best to visit early morning before 9am for good weather and views. Do not visit after 5pm or you will be affected by the bad traffic .

The most impressive attraction around KL. Harmony of nature and religion ☯️ Enter is free. Don't be afraid monkeys, they are fed good there but feeling humans fear. Better to check train schedule - I stuck on the station for an hour and I'd prefer to use this time exploring caves

Definitely worth going if you are visiting KL. the cave itself is spectacular, the temples are interesting. Lots of animals everywhere so the ground is a bit dirty, just how it is, so just be prepared. The steps are also quite steep so be careful. There is a dress code, women have to wear a long dress or trousers and cover their shoulders, bit men seem to be with just shorts and t-shirt.

Very inexpensive fee to go inside ( you don’t need to pay if you’re not climbing the stairs) and need to pay for parking so it’s easier to Grab from the city center than drive. The beautiful.

Get ready to climb the 272 stairs !

Good place to visit. The colored stairs are a very nice touch but are not the cleanest or safest to climb. They are wet and with the monkeys around, have trash including banana peel on them. Be careful when you climb.
Climbing those stairs takes a toll, go preferably on a relatively colder day with little humidity, and carry water.

Went to Batu caves about 30 years ago and 30 years from then, it still has the old charm and mystique from childhood. Besides being a popular tourist attraction, it is also a place of worship and for the pious followers. Take your time to walk up the 272 steps and be in awe as you stand above the entrance of the cave and look down to the sight of tourists, pigeons and monkeys.

Must have for tourist when in KL. Located 10km out of town, reachable by public transportation or grab.

Batu Cave is an enchanting destination nestled in the heart of Malaysia, offering a memorable experience that blends spirituality, nature, and adventure. As soon as you set foot at this majestic site, you’ll be captivated by its towering limestone formations and vibrant Hindu temples.
The highlight of my visit to Batu Cave was undoubtedly the exhilarating climb up the high stairs leading to the main cavern. While the ascent might be physically demanding for some, the effort is absolutely worth it. As you make your way up, the breathtaking views unfold, rewarding you with a sense of accomplishment as you approach the sacred Batu Cave temple.
Now, let’s talk about the adorable residents of Batu Cave—the monkeys! These mischievous creatures add an extra layer of excitement to your visit. They’re known to be curious and may approach visitors in search of snacks or playfulness. Interacting with them can be a delightful experience, but do remember to exercise caution and keep a safe distance.
Once inside the cave, you’ll be awed by the grandeur of the Temple Cave, adorned with ornate Hindu statues and intricate designs. The spacious cavern houses several shrines, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and devotion.
To enhance your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and carrying some water for the climb. Additionally, it’s advisable to keep your belongings secured, as the monkeys have a penchant for exploring unattended bags.
Overall, Batu Cave is a must-visit attraction for its unique blend of spiritual significance, natural beauty, and thrilling stair climb. Prepare yourself for a challenging yet rewarding adventure, and don’t forget to engage with the lively monkey inhabitants. Your journey to Batu Cave will undoubtedly be etched in your memory for years to come.

It is a landmark in KL and attracts lots of tourist. Ladies needs to cover their leg and those wear shorts will be denied entry, unless they buy a piece of clothes at the foot of the hill (or stalls nearby) and cover up. Climb took forever (for the not so physically fit like me) but once on top, one will be rewarded with a big cool cave will a couple on Hindu shrine inside. Some parts where the wind flow was very cooling. The climb down looks easy but can be quite tricky.
For transport to Batu, it is not advisable to take the train because the frequency is low and the wait for the next train can be up to an hour.

Although it is a Hindu temple, it is colorful and beautiful, and the view is good.

I visited it in July 2023. It was hot and hard to climb the stairs in a dress , longer than my knees ( no pants allowed), but it was worth it. Inside the cave the air was cool. I was surprised to see that the people lit candles and used incense during the religious ceremony ( as it's been done in the Orthodox Church).

Feeding the monkeys and pigeons was the highlight for us in this trip. If you visit the bird zone , ensure to wear a mask. Such a culturally rich area. I wish they put an effort to keeping the place clean. For such a. Large number of visitors and patrons, there is little to no attention to keeping the place clean. Attention to the temple surrounding areas and overall ambience would do it a great favour. Despite all that, I think it's a signature Must see in KL.

Batu Caves is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus. But to be honest, there’s not much to see there. And the government should improve the hygiene of the entrance area, and keep tourists from feeding monkeys with their own food.

It was a fine experience. It's always very busy and touristy. You'll find a lot of Monkeys on your way. Make sure you keep your belongings safe.
There are a lot of stairs if you want to climb. It can give you a normal city view, not that much nice, but a good one. There are a couple of active temples there.
The caves themselves are nice and give you a majestic vibe. There's one temple at the start and another one after climbing a few more stairs.
It's always so humid, so take water bottles with you. There are a lot of shops around too but they are a bit more expensive than regular shops.

A must visit in KL. Recommend to have a driver or go in grab. Beautiful place, an temple. It isn’t difficult to get up the stairs. It doesn’t take so much time to get till the up. Recommended visit if you are in KL.
Muskan Harpalani — Google review
It is one of the most popular Hindu shrine outside India. Combination of caves and cave temple in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. The limestone forming Batu caves is sad to be 400 million years old.
There are around 275 steps/stairs to reach in the caves. At the base of the hills there are two more cave temples.
It's one the must visit place. Place is full of pigeons and monkeys. Kids will enjoy a lot with pigeons. You feed them also.
Chargeable parking is available in the premises.
Entry charges for car is 2RM/entry, for Lorry/bus is 10RM.
Restaurant is available in the premises. You can have a food at reasonable price.
Overall it's a beauty of colours. Scenic and photogenic place.

It's a good place to go.
A bit far from the CBD but it's worth visiting here.
The trains run only once in an hour so be careful.
You'd better take Grab if you don't want to waste your time.
There are so many pigeons and monkeys and people. And the 280 stairs are very hard.

- Dangerous monkeys : throw things to human pour water also.
- Smell bad with monkey waste, chicken waste unlike holy place.
But it us stunning when you look sky in the middle of cave and statues are harmonious with lime cave.

Nice place to visit. Nothing much to do but to enjoy the view and the temple.
The stairs are really smelly of monkey waste.
It was not as hard as I expected and from the picture posted in Google.
You'll definitely need to bring extra clothes as you will sweat a lot because of the weather and taking the stairs. We arrived early in the morning.
Mens can wear shorts and go up. For the Ladies, the knees must not be showing. Bring something to cover up.
Beware of the monkeys, they are thieft and stealing foods and other items from people.
You can buy dove feeds for RM 5.00
Stunning view from the inside of the cave.
Mostly Indian foods on the restaurant. No fried chicken alone.
Bring your own water or you can also buy there, but no idea how much.
A lot of coconut for refreshment on the restaurant.
There is a beverage store at the end of the stairs above with souvenir items.
If you wish to enter the temple, remove your shoes.
Pay Toilet is available at the ground on the right side of the big statue for RM 0.50.
Merchandise are also available.
We took Grab for convenience.

A must experience. I was a bit concerned by the number of steps at first, but it was fairly easy going with loads of places to stop for a moment to recover. Very busy but just an amazing must do place to visit. Go all the way to the back (both caves with a second set of steps). Absorb in the whole amazing place. Lots of things to see in the vicinity, temples, resturants and shops.
Peter Thompson — Google review
Beautiful temple in the caves, decent amount of stairs involved. There are monkeys everywhere so be mindful of your belongings, those mischievous little guys get pretty grabby. Very popular tourist attraction so it’s quite busy. There are restaurants, toilets, gift shops all near the entrance area. I was very disappointed to see how much garbage there was everywhere. Watching the wildlife eating food wrappers and chewing old water bottles was pretty upsetting.

Visitors get two types of attractions in one: the temples and the massive caves. The statue and the steps are impressive to see in person. The climb up is pretty long but not all that difficult. It would help to get here before 8 AM to avoid the heat as well as the crowds that start to build up around 9. Didn’t see any monkeys early in the morning.
The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were once the tallest buildings in the world and remain an iconic symbol of the city. These modern Islamic-designed towers stand at 88 stories high and offer a visitor skybridge for breathtaking views. Guided tours are available for visitors to explore the towers, including the Observation Deck on the 86th floor with stunning panoramic views.
We purchased the tour tickets in advance as it can get sold out quickly especially during the weekend and school holiday. The ticket can be purchased at their website. We gathered at the front of check in counter before the tour started. Security check was done and small backpack or food and drinks must be left at the lockers as it were not allowed. Then the officer in charge brought us to the Level 41, where the lower deck of suspension bridge connected with the twin towers. After spending around 10 minutes on the bridge, we were then moved to the Observation Deck which is located at Level 86. Here we can see the whole Kuala Lumpur with 360 degree view.

One of the most beautiful modern buildings that I have seen so far. The hype is worth it and it looks beautiful as during the day as it does in the evening. We marvelled at the structure from the outside and then we also took one of the tours inside, where we were taken to 2 different levels and we viewed the city from the top. It was one of the best experiences and the ticket fee was worth it.

A must to do!!! Iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world, and its status has remained unchallenged since 1996. Offering outstanding views over the KL. Purchase tickets in advance to secure your visit and escape the line. Evening is the best time to visit. Guided tour is around 45 min. Highly recommended!!!
Mohammad Kalantari — Google review
I bought the tickets for the experience in advance and they cost around 20 dollars per person. The tour is guided and lasts around 45 mins, I would loved to be able to stay more in the observation deck, but I understand why it's that way to give everyone the chance to experience it as well
There is two main stops in the tour, the first one is the suspending bridge between the two towers, it is fascinating. If the weather is too sunny, the reflections of the sun rays could be a little annoying. The second stop is the observation deck which is located on the 86th floor at a whopping 370m above the ground, the views of the city were magnificent
Loay — Google review
The highlight of KL at night,which is why KL is also affectionately called the City of Lights. A wonder in its own right,one can only admire the sheer beauty and elegance of these twin towers as they light up from top to bottom. You cannot simply miss a photo opportunity be it under the towers or in the observation deck right at the pinnacle.
Imran Mohamed — Google review
The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur are an absolute marvel. Standing tall and proud, they represent a symbolic and architectural wonder. The sheer grandeur and beauty of these towers make them a must-visit for anyone traveling to Malaysia. The view from the top is simply breathtaking, offering a captivating panoramic view of the bustling city below. Whether appreciating them from the ground or from their dizzying heights, the Petronas Towers are an unforgettable and iconic experience.

It was the roof of the world for many years. Of course, although Dubai has taken this attribute from these towers, it is still a very valuable place here. Two high quality skyscrapers with all facilities in one of the best cities in the world. The Petronas Twin Towers can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Existence of different shops with different global brands has increased the quality of this place more than before. Here we can mention the Malaysian signature. Even small sculptures of these two skyscrapers are sold in different parts of the city.
The materials used in these skyscrapers are also very special and different. The interesting thing is that although the skyscrapers are made of metal and glass, they are always clean. It seems that the workers of these skyscrapers is routinely cleaned 24 hours a day. During the twelve years of continuous travel to this city and visiting this great city, whenever I came to these two skyscrapers, I always admired them for these huge structures. amazing.
Alireza Akhlaghi — Google review
One of the most iconic places I have ever seen so far. You can see this place from all corners of Malaysia. One thing for sure, you won't keep your camera or phone inside the pocket until you move out of the place. That means to say, every corner of the building is mesmerizing. This place looks amazing in the morning and magically damn beautiful at time. On special occasions they change the color of the lights. Best time to visit??? Whenever you visit that's the best time. But I suggest visiting during night time

The famous twin towers of KL. Definitely exciting to see from down below. Absolutely amazing views of the city from above in the sky deck and bridge sections.
Apart from that though, there isn’t a heap to talk about with the towers, other than the fact that they illuminate very well at night!
Matthew Whitehead — Google review
I had the chance to visit the Petronas Twin Towers in KL, and while the tickets were a bit pricey and required advance purchase, the experience was quite enjoyable. We timed it for sunset, which added to the beauty of the view. The cityscape from the bridge was stunning and offered a unique perspective.
However, a small downside was the staff's persistence in pushing us to buy a family picture they had taken. While it dampened the experience a bit, it didn't overshadow the overall positive impression.
In summary, the Petronas Twin Towers are definitely worth a visit, despite the ticket cost and the occasional push for purchasing extras. The view is incredible, especially during sunset, and it's an iconic landmark that provides a glimpse of Kuala Lumpur's charm.

It looks good at night. Ambience in front of the tower is good.
If you have been to the top of any tall tower in the world, you can safely skip going to the observation deck or the bridge connecting the two towers. There is nothing extraordinary even at night; you can save the hefty RM99 per person ticket charges.
Rajasekaran Subbiah — Google review
Definitely worth visiting although if you want to visit the observation deck for views I think KL tower is better especially from the skydeck.
The main entrance provides great spot for photos.
Tristram Lucas — Google review
A great place to visit and take in the views. The landscape is good to take in, especially from the 2 levels you get to explore. You are not overly crowded during the visit, with groups being made of about 20 people at a time. You get a good amount of time to explore the levels and take photos. A few facts given when you come off the elevator, but not a lot - would be nice to learn more whilst being shown around.
Highly recommended!
Nayan Patel — Google review
The night view at the Petronas Twin Towers was absolutely stunning! It’s hard to put into words how amazing it was. The towers lit up against the night sky created a magical and mesmerizing sight. I highly recommend visiting the Petronas Twin Towers at night to witness the breathtaking beauty for yourself. It’s a must see attraction in Kuala Lumpur!
Badrul Amin — Google review
We booked the tickets online and choose the best time. Sunset. The weather was cloudy that day but still manage to get a glimpse of the sunset.
You cannot bring any water bottle or small bags up. You need to store it in their facility.
You get 10 minutes at each section, so take many photos and use your time wisely .
The glass can be dirty at some spots, and it is very bright with the spotlight, so it will be hard to take photos at night .
We saw a family that was turned away as they came at the wrong time slot, so choose your timeslot and buy your tickets .
illion — Google review
Outstanding structure. Still the most beautiful skyscraper amonst all top of the world. The best part of it is .. that a natural space is reserved at front of it. That has a lake, plants and trees.
At night dancing fountain show is also must watch thing.
While the mall inside isn't that interesting, honestly 😋

This place is crazy nice.
Next time I will visit inside. But also outside it was amazing!
Attention! It's very hard to get a taxi away from it. We walked to the next big crossing road to finally get one.
Luka Bartling — Google review
It's much better and b'ful to see from outside than to go inside to get the view around from the top. To get the best views of the city, go to KL tower(Menara KL) instead.
In the daytime, the twin towers look just like usual buildings, but the real beauty is at night when it glows.
It gets too crowded at night.

After 6 years, I came back to this place by a positive surprise. The city and the area looks clean, modern, and overall they renovated the area in a nice way, with gardens, and fountains.
I loved the hall with the piano to enjoy and play for the people around.
Marian Gómez — Google review
Petronas twin towers are iconic KL tourist place to visit.
Plan in advance and book tickets and get the timing to see the towers.
They arrange the visit in groups so please plan accordingly to that when you get there as they will group you only once you get there.
The place has instructions how to get to the visitor centre.
There is huge mall below so you might get lost in that.
If you want to enjoy the place plan to visit the tower the later half of the day so that you can see the illuminated tower at night and the fountain show planned.
There could be showers and that can delay the fountain show.
The tower it self is good place to see the wonders of KL cityscapes.
They stop at the 42 floor to view the connecting bridge between the towers.
They give 10-15 mins for pictures here.
They then take the group to 83 floor and change lift to 86 floor.
This is the observation deck and has a lot of details and good place to take pics.
They then get back to 83 floor which has a small cafe and gift shop.
It also has a small video show on the tower history.
The total cost for the tower tour is about 100-130 Malaysia ringgit.
Nagarajan T V — Google review
The tour is nice. They divide visitors into smaller groups based on time of arrival on the same slot. You are given enough time to have lovely pictures of KL. They take pictures for you at the entrance which you can buy for 150 RM. There is also storage for backpacks.

Beautiful place and never fails to fascinate me since past many decades. Some shops are new and spotted more new brands coming up too. The atmosphere is good and worth taking a walk around the place. Evening water fountains with colourful lights is spectacular. Best place to take the pictures of the one of the tallest buildings in the world and it held that record for many years. KL is known for this place more than any others. Plenty of food options and staff is friendly.

This is a very family friendly park with a lot of green trees and a little water fountain. There is a kids playground as well. This park is alongside the twin towers that is very charming to take family and friends photographs. It is a great place to hang out with family and friends for hours and even can arrange picnic. The park is completely free for the visitors.

People jogging every evening here. Many p we people just sitting and enjoy the scenery during afternoon till late evening too. Water fountain absolutely main attraction in intros area. With beautiful landscape and surrounded by greenery. Small recreation park for those wanted to do short and quick exercise after work. Another nice place to hang out and meeting friends too.

Small but lovely park on one side of the KLCC. There's a fountain, a wading pool (a favourite with kids), another pool with sculptures, a children's playground, all linked by a wide footpath.
You can have a great view of the twin towers and the connecting bridge, and an interesting view of the skyscrapers around.
There were a lot of people in KLCC when I was there on New Year's Eve, so it was really nice to step out into the sun and get some fresh air away from the crowd. It's a wonderful haven from the hustle and bustle, and I recommend it.

Nice. Many variant and type of slides, hanging, and others for the kids to play with. Even got free pool for kids, not more than 1 meter deep. Lot of parking option to reach here. Only thing to consider is the area is out of wind as many trees, building blocking so its bit warm, no wind. The rest, nice. No food and drinks stall around so prepare your drinks.

Open space for seat and relax. The good thing is that you can seat near water and as space is so bigger so not seems crowded anytime. You can walk very easily yo whole places. Areas are very clean also.

Must visit park when you're in Kuala Lumpur.
If you are foreigners, shouldn't miss this park at all cost. Definitely worth your time for a visit.
You'll be stunned by the magnificent Twin Towers view.
Recommended visit time:
Spare a two hours from 6pm to 8pm.
6pm - 7pm > Get yourself familiar with the surrounding while it is still bright (day time). So you have enough time to find your favourite spot for photography or enjoy the sunset.
7pm - 745pm > This will be the time the sky slowly turn dark. Enjoy the Sunset + Twin Towers lighting up. (Can consider capture time lapse 😉 )
745pm - 8pm > Enjoy the magnificent night view and the Symphony Lake Water Show. Then you're good to go for dinner.

Beautiful park right in the middle of downtown. It's surprising peaceful once you are in it. Nice little lake with dancing fountains, a splash pad, playground and other activities available for kids. Lush green trees make it an unlikely respite from the concrete all around.
Aasim Waheed — Google review
One of the best public parks to visit if you want a morning/evening walk, or just want to breathe fresh air. Make sure it's not a weekend or public holiday, it's very crowded these days.
The park is super clean and maintained. There's a pond with fountains too. I did not stay for long but I heard there's a light show every night. Just like a dancing fountain at Dubai Mall (but I am not sure). What I am sure is that usually those fountains are synced with music and it's lovely.
Make sure you are always walking on tracks and not on grass, it's not allowed.
Overall, a good picturesque spot with all public amenities.

At night the fountains are light up & dance to music. The trees around the fountain are also light up & also produce a displace. You will enjoy your visit.
If you are visiting with children there is also a large play area:

Words cannot express the feelings when you visit this magnificent place and a landmark of Kuala Lumpur. It's huge and equally beautiful.

Nestled beneath the renowned Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, KLCC Park offers a serene sanctuary within the bustling city. There are exquisitely constructed gardens and a symphonic lake in the park.People can unwind and read books on the benches around Fountain Lake. Kids will love this park because it has lots of open room for them to play in, including a tiny water park at one end. KLCC Park is a great area for gatherings with family and friends, as well as for joggers and photographers to find some peace and quiet in this urban haven.
It was Christmastime, and the mall's entryway had a massive, exquisitely decorated tree.

Putra Mosque is an iconic mosque located in Putrajaya, the federal administrative capital of Malaysia. It's one of the most prominent landmarks in the city, known for its stunning pink-domed architecture and beautiful Islamic design.
Visitors are allowed to visit the mosque during certain hours and are typically welcome to explore the mosque's grounds and take guided tours to learn more about the architecture, Islamic culture, and the significance of the mosque.
However, it's important to note that visitors are generally expected to dress modestly when visiting mosques in Malaysia. For women, this usually means wearing clothing that covers arms and legs, and a headscarf is often required. Some mosques provide appropriate clothing for visitors who arrive in clothing deemed inappropriate for entry.

This is a relatively new mosque located in Putrajaya - a new and modern city. The female staff in the hall is very kind and passionate. She patiently chatted with me and taught me a lot of knowledge about the religion of Islam. I ended up learning a lot that I never knew before. It's absolutely the right place for those who would like to get to know more about the Islamic cultures and history.

Beautiful mosque to visit and relax. No entrance fee charge when I visited, however u can donate if u wish too, to the numerous donation boxes available. There are certain rules you will need to adhere to while visiting.

Another beautiful mosque located in Putrajaya, this is a pink mosque and you can refer to the photos for the same. Again, this is a photogenic place because of the colours. Women should cover the head they provide the abhaya in the front desk, it's free of cost. It's pretty crowded as it is a bit famous in Putrajaya, if you are taking this tour, it will be by default included. Do wear shades since malaysia has sunny weather.

The dome is under renovation. Make sure to bring your prayer mat, they only let people who brings their prayer mat and telekung to enter the mosque. Parking was ok on the afternoon even on the weekend. But after 5 it'll be crowded and it's hard to find parking spot. Parking is free at the roundabout. Make sure to walk around the surroundings to get nice view. Have fun!

This place is amazingly beautiful. The pink color makes the mosque stand out and distinctive. The inside is very clean. They have ropes provided for free before entering the mosque. The staffs are very friendly.

I see this as a very well planned construction. This huge place is well planned and constructed to the perfect. A must visit place in Malaysia. The lake cruise is a good experience. Your visit to this place will be a memorable in your life.

It was the place we got a peaceful atmosphere and a calm feel. Simply sitting beside the mosque will give you peace of mind. There are not many things to see in nearby places. Only this mosque and the lake. And the prime minister's residence also. You need to hire a cab to reach there. Or you can try the train. Putra jaya central is the nearest station. From there you will get cabs to the mosque.

Wonderful mosque. The pink color is really nice. They have a part where you can access the mosque to visit and see inside. It’s a great feeling to pray there. Once you go out you have a beautiful view on the river. It’s literally amazing.

Just walking around the vicinity. Too bad there's a construction going on around the cafeteria downstairs. Otherwise we would've stayed a bit longer while munching. Full of tourists. Better go around weekdays if you can.

Beautiful Pink Mosque... tourist can go in, but ladies has to wear the gown. Will be given during the entrance. Walked in, and will have a separation in the dome. Place well maintain and glad to make the trip there with family to see how a Mosque looked like.

What a beautiful mosque it is. Absolutely stunning.
Now I am not Muslim so I cannot get in to visit but I love going to Putrajaya from time to time to look at the mosque.
Every time I have friends from overseas visiting KL, I always take them there as it is gorgeous !

There is a beautiful mosque in Putrajaya near the Prime Minister's Office. It's highlighted by its pink granite architecture. Both the mosque and the PM's office are great spots for photography enthusiasts.

Magnificent architectural gem in Putrajaya. The mosque's pink granite exterior is a captivating sight, especially against the backdrop of the serene Putrajaya Lake. The grandeur continues inside with a spacious prayer hall adorned with beautiful calligraphy and intricate designs.
The mosque offers a tranquil and reflective atmosphere, providing a serene space for prayer and contemplation. The expansive courtyard and lakeside location contribute to a peaceful ambiance.
The friendly and welcoming staff contribute to a positive experience for visitors, providing information and guidance when needed. Whether you're a tourist appreciating the architecture or a worshipper seeking a serene place for prayer, Masjid Putra Mosque is a must-visit destination that beautifully represents Malaysia's cultural and religious diversity.

This mosque has an incredible blend of architectural beauty and religious significance. Both men and women are welcome to perform prayers here. Tourists are also allowed to visit, but it is important for women to dress modestly. This is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing the rich culture and traditions of the local community.

A beautiful mosque. Clean, well maintained and beautifully located by the side of a river. As a place of worship it achieves its purpose. Non muslim visitors are allowed inside but must follow the rules i.e maintain decorum, not take photos in certain poses etc. Women visitors are given a robe to wear on top of their outfits.
