The place for all wake boarder from beginner to pro.
Because Thailand is always summer 🌤, you can come and join here anytime of the year!
Prawwalai Senawuth — Google review
Thai Wakepark Lumlukka is my favorite place to wakeboard in Thailand. This place rocks!
Shawn O'Donnell — Google review
Great place to spend a day, for beginners and skilled people alike. Can only recommend the beginner cable if you are just starting out.
The people there seem to be equally mixed, you see Thais, expats, families and groups of friends.
Although it's a bit far out (approx. 1 hour drive out of Bangkok) it is well worth the trip. I can only recommend to visit TWP.

Enjoyed my experience the only thing if you are regular with not a lot of experience it might be hard to turn or get on the obstacles, because most of them are for goofy. Food is also really nice, has gender separate showers and shop inside. Consider bringing your own gear even from abroad since rent is 700 baht for 4 hours, on the other hand gear is better then in the most of the wake parks (boots are liquid force the board itself is usual) so it worth the money. Stuff is helpful and nice
Iya Roos — Google review
Five stars through and through! This place gave me so much joy from being outdoors in the sun, water and wakeboarding action. What I love the most is the staff. Everyone (teacher Fluke and the 3 guys operating the machine) really cared for quality of your experience, help you along, give you guidance and offer encouragement. Even the golf buggy driver gave me some helpful pointers 😁 Thank you! Of course, the food, WiFi and all that facilities are top notch. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to spend a few hours doing something new and active. Perfect for families, group of friends or lone wolf…basically anyone.

We had an amazing time at this park. It is great for both riders and non riders. The food is delicious, the facilities are clean, the wifi is great and the staff are very helpful. Definitely recommend.

This place made me having the last good memories in my life, I wish I could come back. The staffs are friendly, but they should pay attention more the food. It could be better.
Thank you Thai Wake Park.

Here’s the first time that I visited here and tried the wake board. It was so fun and challenging. If you were first time visitor, you would get free 1hr. Don’t worry if you were the beginner. The Park provided the trainer to guide the beginner how to serve the board and use the equipments as well as basic technique. Don’t be shy! Go and try the new experience here. I will revisit for sure.

Was great fun for my son. Nice place to sit and take in the view while relaxing. Very well kept, and very clean.
A great spot outside the city to enjoy some time in nature and on the water. It was my first time ever and the staff were pretty accommodating. I did feel I could have been given a better initial “how-to” as I’ve never wakeboarded before. I was initially told by the rental staff to use footing that was complete opposite of how I snowboard; to have my dominate foot in the front. This meant that my first hour I flopped on my face a lot. When another member of staff suggested I tried regular stance (which I use for snowboarding) I was immediately able to get up and ride. I felt foolish for not having been told this correctly since the beginning. I guess it built up my perseverance but when you have to wait ten minutes in line only to flop on your face time and time again...well, it would have been nice to have been told how to do it properly right away. Overall, highly recommend the experience but would like the staff to ensure they’re giving the correct information to all first time riders. Also the surroundings are beautiful! Even if you don’t want to ride and just want a wonderful place to spend the day it is great.
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.
Soham Das — Google review
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 .
jithin kv — Google review
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.
Yashank Uthappa — Google review
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.
Ritika Karmakar — Google review
All those cute little animals, is really worth the trip.
Recommend to hire a private driver and car for the whole trip start with hotel pick up/drop off.
No outside drinks allowed so kindly leave it in your car. Wear something comfortable as there’s lots of walking and kinda hot.
Javier Jin Hao Ng — Google review
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
JAMES FARRAH — Google review
Very good place spend a whole day. Parking is available. Try to reach there at 9am so that you can watch all show timely and completely. Best is the dolphin show. If you like this review, please like and comment. Thank you.

It was a surreal experience. The premises and animal enclosures were super neat and clean. All the animals are treated well and looked healthy.
The highlight of the visit were the animal shows at different arenas. All the staff are well behaved and helpful. I had lunch there as well and it was satisfactory with all the crowd management.
I literally have no suggestions they are functioning with such magnificence. Good Luck to all the crew and workers.
Ayush Jha — Google review
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. They have various shows (schedule and timing of the show will be provided to you). This is one of the best zoos I've visited. Highly recommended.
Ameya Tikam — Google review
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.
Florami Carael — Google review
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. It’s a cool place to catch some fun shows and get up close with wildlife. Definitely a must-do if you’re into that sort of thing.

Siam Amazing Park, also known as Siam Park City, is a massive amusement and water park located in the Khan Na Yao District of Bangkok, Thailand. It holds the title of being Asia's largest water theme park and offers an array of attractions including wave pools, exhilarating slides like the 7-story-high Speed Slider and the twisting Super Spiral, and even a simulated wave rider at Flowhouse.
We went over the weekend to this Thai version of Disneyland, known by Bangkokian as "Suan Siam", now called "Siam Amazing Park" We love their water park here, I mean really nice with the world's biggest wave pool. Our last time here was one and half year ago. There were many amusement park rides my kids went on and they loved it. And if you are worried about the crowded pool or long line with many people, this is PERFECT TIME TO GO, it is not so many people. CLOSE TO BANGKOK, easy to go and worth money, let's have fun. Last thing, I am amazed by the food at the restaurant and the kiosks around the park. Their tastes are so GOOD and there is one new building with many workshops you can spend time with your kids there or waiting for them at their coffee shop. :) Enjoy.
Supaporn Niphanphaisal — Google review
Probably it was a nice park years ago but now lots of areas and facilities are destroyed and even abandoned. Overall impression that it is not maintained and renovated. Quite some rides are closed (see photo with the map) - probably broken as well. Huge area but not very crowded (we've been on Sunday) - seems like not super popular. We've bought tickets online for 600b at one of the sellers suggested by Google (not park's official site). The same ticket is sold for 1200b at the counter and their site.
On a positive side - the ticket includes a pretty good buffer lunch. Nice area around the wave pool and the "log flume" attraction. Nice illumination at evening time. Nicely looking territory around.
Tetyana Suprunova — Google review
There wasn’t any people at all! I loved it because I didn’t have to wait for a line at all during the whole day apart from some major rides like the big water slide in the water park section of the siam park. Some of the rides were under maintenance but apart from that, they were pretty fun and I highly recommend going on all of them because since it’s a small amusement park, it’s pretty easy to be done with all of them. The water park section also can be done within an hour or two as well and most of the restaurants such as the buffet one is located at the water park section. Remember to bring some swim clothes!
yusuf mohideen — Google review
This park has seen way better days. Not crowded but it had lost its gloss. It’s like a park on a Sunday stroll. Price wise is good as it’s really meant for the locals. The water park inside is quite empty too. Some rides are closed. It needs a major revamp. The toilets in the water park are grimy and slimy.

I enjoyed my day here. I bought the all access ticket online in advance for 1000 Baht. I went on a week day and it wasn't too busy. The roller coasters had no queues. The log ride one was the most popular so I had to wait about 20 minutes. The water park section was really nice. The wave pool is like a beach. The slides are pretty fun but can hurt you, definitely listen to instructions and try the small one first. I got some bruises on my back but still had fun. You can't bring your own food or drink in. There's a food area where you get a cash card and pay with that. The choices are OK, not great. Overall I recommend it. This place is entered via Bangkok World which is also quite interesting, but I will review that separately.
Safety tips:
- Listen to the water slide instructions. Hold your hands behind your head or you will hurt your neck.
- For the big slides, if you pick up speed you will get 'air', don't let your hands loose, just trust that you will land on the slide again.
- I recommend taking a deep breath and holding while you go down so you don't get water in your nose.
- For the guys, try to keep your legs together when you hit the water (kinda hits you in the balls haha)
- For the rollercoasters, keep your head pressed against the seat as much as you can to reduce/prevent any sudden neck movements or head hits.
For the park owners - I can feel the joints in the tunnel slides going down, which kinda hurts, see if you can smooth those out more.
Thanks

A Theme Park and Water Park in one place. Absolutely a delightful escape. Not just for kids but also for adults. Beautiful and fun place. Enjoyed the rides, especially the Boomerang - Rollercoaster. Actually tried it 6 times in a row. Should have loved the Vortex - Roller Coaster too, however it was painful on the ear and neck after the ride. Went on a weekday, so there are not much people. No need to wait in a queue. Waterpark is absolutely great. A lot of things to do. Slides, lazy river, fountains and the biggest wave pool in the world is here. Place was clean. They follow health protocol due to covid-19 pandemic. Staff were nice and cool. It's been my 12th times here. Will definitely go back again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My trip was on a rainy day, unfortunately I didn’t enjoy all rides since some of them are closed during the rain and they close them for safety reasons.
But generally, even though its a very old theme park, we enjoyed our day and I recommend this park for couples and families.
-Staff are nice and welcoming
-Prices are very low compared to theme parks around the world.
-Food quality is average and food prices are affordable.

This place has a big variety of rides to enjoy and spend the day. If you are seeking some thrilling rides I would recommend the boomerang and the vortex. If you are going for a calm ride I would highly recommend the observation tower. It has an Air conditioner and it is very relaxing. Overall I enjoyed my time here and highly suggest visiting this park.
Sasha — Google review
The park had 5 attractions (4 of the main ones) closed on the day we went even though nothing was indicated when we booked. We booked the lunch option included which was very disappointing with very low quality food (pasta with ketchup as an example…) The rest was quite fun if you like adrenaline activities. Overall I would rate 3 stars
Mario Assaf — Google review
The place is good but when we went there the best items were out of service. So we couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. So the entry price is too high. And the water park needs more activities.
Harshana Dharmapriya Thumbovila — Google review
Yes, some of the rides are a bit dated, but for the price this is a truly fun place to spend the day. I highly recommend going to the water park during the hotter part of the day because the theme park area can be a bit deadly during the 11 am to 2 pm hours. The rollercoasters and flume rides are a ton of fun and really quite thrilling.
There's a variety of inexpensive food options inside and outside of the park.
Be sure to buy your tickets through one of the online outlets before coming. You will get a substantial discount.

Great play ground for my two kiddies grandson. Even adult can enjoy if they have the brave heart to ride the scary roller coaster and other frightful rides. A fantastic water park. Value for money.

Spent 3 hours in the park today. It was actually fun tho. As a person loves to go amusement park, this is one of the best park recently in Thailand right now (belong with Dreamworld). I rode 6 rides by myself and thad so much fun hehe. The Vortex one was INSANE AND INCREDIBLE, it was faster than it looked on some POV youtube videos. Log Flume was fun also. The food was so cheap and soso, not good but not bad. The carousel at the etrance zone was Amazing view to take some picture there too.Kinda sad that Grand Canyon Express and Africa Adventure closed down and I couldn't experience them. Overall, my MOST FUN DAY EVER. I can't wait to be back there again in the future!!!
Beninnovation — Google review
Amazing, very fun and exciting. You can stay here all day. Time just slips by while you're having fun. Because of height restrictions, children over ten years old will have more fun. I don't know if anyone has made the same mistake as me. The lockers in the water park can only be switched on and off once after coin-operated, otherwise, they need to vote 20 baht again.
Happy Bro — Google review
A nice place to spend a day. Some of the attractions were closed for renovation, but still lots of things to do. There is a big pool and a nice water playground for kids.
I recommend buying ticket in klook app in advance. It’s cheaper.
Kateryna Kovalevych — Google review
I have to divide my experience into 2 parts, the theme park I'm not a fan since most of the rides are partially malfunctioning or have some minor issues. The major rides were exciting, I recommend boomerang, vortex and plume log. The water park is a blast, my 9 and 11 year old children were having so much fun all day. The buffet in included ticket package that we bought was definitely worth it, delicious and many varieties of freshly made food and endless soda fountain was a blessing in the middle of scorching heat during lunch hour. Overall, all that matters is we as a family had fun and although it took us almost 1 hour taxi ride to get there from Phrom Phong and 2 hours bus ride home back, we would do it again next time we visit Bangkok. There was no crowd at all when we came on Friday.

1. The rides are amazing.
2. There was no locker room.
3. Most of the rides where not working, one of the roller coaster was tested and yet failed very dangerous.
4. Could have been better
Sagar Thawani — Google review
I'm honest guide, The theme park is located far from City so plan accordingly. The park is awesome in both dry and water games.. Some rides was closed.. You know what boomerang dry game and vortex rollor coaster was the one which make you so high and scary.. My tip is to get including lunch while purchasing the ticket which should be inclusion of food.
Hoysala Ragava — Google review
By far the WORST theme park I’ve ever been to. The wait for the log flume said 30 minutes, ended up being 2.5 hours, vortex was 2 hours and both not worth it.
Negatives;
- old and forgotten
- food stands everywhere
- super packed with people
- pools were so full we gave up and left
- slides had 1 hour + wait
- all rides were 1.5 - 2.5 hour waits
- 1000 bhat
- 4 rides were down (no use)
- dirty bathroom
- the rides that were open had half the seats closed
Positives;
- cheap if you don’t by the all day unlimited pass
Conclusion;
If you like queues by all means… felt more like a market than amusement park.
Harley Flahaut — Google review
It is quite old and small. The good stuff is that you can play in the water and theme park at the same place. Your can rent the lock inside the water park for a day (unlimited access).

Srinagarindra Train Night Market, also known as Talad Dek Neaw or the "hipsters" market, is a bustling outdoor night market located behind Seacon Square. It offers a wide variety of items such as antiques, vintage memorabilia, furniture, clothing, cameras, and instruments. With over 2000 stalls and the largest collection of antiques in Thailand, this market is a must-visit for those looking for funky and retro finds.
Wonderful place to visit! It's easy to go there using the yellow metro. It's cheap and funny. Lots of food and souvenirs to buy.
We really enjoyed our night here....I think is the best market in bangkok!

A night market next to Seacon square department store. Recently, the market opens only on Thursday to Sunday from 5 PM till 1AM. I would recommend to visit after 6 PM cause some shops just start open. There are three spots parking lot inside the market. The parking fee was 40 baht per car. The most interesting space of this market was the far most parking lot surrounded with many antique shops for the collectors and many graffiti walls spread around.
keen Tan — Google review
We took BTS and then a cab to reach the market on a national holiday. It was a challenge to get a cab and we didn’t know what to expect. We arrived nearby and walked to get in from a nearby hyper market which was easier. On arrival there were many restaurants with live bands, all of which were playing great music. Train market boasts old classic cars and to start with we didn’t see any but later as we explored more we found them along with an airplane. There are a selection of new and second hand shops and stalls and some great antique dealers and shops there offering an interesting mix. A few good cafes with great music and food stalls making local foods. While it wasn’t as large as we imagined it’s an interesting place to take a look around and relax and a good place to grab food and enjoy a live band.

Local area for night market. Food is great, had the oven baked potatoes and it’s so delicious!! Not crowded as it is quite a distance away from the usual tourist places. Travelled here for Mooneyes merchandise! But it was not as fantastic as what we expected it to be.
This might market focuses on vintage goods hence many of the shops are selling either second hand goods or vintage stuffs. Good place to explore with sufficient dining tables.
Peony Ang — Google review
Exceptional for food. only gave it a 4 star because of the retro clothing. ie I still have some of the items for sale in my wardrobe. Classic vehicles are a hit. Even saw a few being driven around. Lots of other modern clothing but same, same, not much in larger sizes for European Males. BUT it is starting to cater for non locals. Worth a visit.
Linda Henley — Google review
This review is for a delicious meal we had at the night market! We were drawn to this restaurant by the local crowd and the huge bowls of pork bone soup patrons were feasting upon. Cheap / good value for an excellent dinning experience. The pork exceeded my expectations, it was not dry at all - meaty part was tender and just enough fatty portions. The fried basil minced pork - common dish made well, and a simple cabbage dish fried in lard which elevated it. Look out for it if you are at the market👍

Loved this place. Excellent food and great bars with live music. Prices are good and there is room for haggling. This market has everything. Great food lots of shopping and great drinks. The atmosphere is really nice and i will definitely visit this place again, it's a must visit in Bangkok. Only minus was the toilets , not the nicest ones but other than that everything was great.

A brilliant night market
Slightly out of the way for tourists but the atmosphere and lack of them meant we had a fun evening walking around with the locals. Food was good. We felt very safe and our young children enjoyed themselves. It was busy but not as frantic as a lot of other night markets that we have been to before. The vintage cars, aeroplanes and trains were fun to look into. Lots of taxis around for when we had finished the night. I'd definitely recommend coming here. We visited on a Friday night.

It is a gem in Bangkok! Conveniently located under the yellow line train station, Suan Luang Rama 9, it's a must-visit for all. From clothes to vintage finds and delicious food, it offers everything you could ever need. Don't miss out on beer bar and desert shop for a relaxing break. Whether you're into thrift shopping or just craving some tasty treats, this market has it all!

Very large night market that stays busy until past 11pm. Lots of open air food stalls, and restaurants along the stretch that leads into the market itself. During the evening, there is live band music as well.
A shopping haven if you love local arts and craft, fashion and vintage goods. There are also local nail parlours as well.

Truly an amazing market. They have the basic food and clothing stalls but once you discover the heart of the market, the antiques section, it truly takes you to another world. From old school record stores that have Eric Clapton and ABBA vinyl records, to beautiful antique furniture, to those old school classic cars that you dream of as a child. Not to mention the friendly staff and vendors of the market. I'd recommend this place to anyone! Especially antique or motor fans.

One of the best original night markets still left in Bangkok imo. There were many different vendors that offered a variety of products from used vintage clothes shoes and collectibles items to street food and places to sit down to enjoy the nights drinking and eating with family friends and coworkers. There is plenty of parking available for cars costs 40baht at the entry. If you are into taking photos and videos this is the market to visit. BE PREPARED TO WALK. This is a huge market. I spent more than 4 hours there easily wandering around shopping and eating while enjoying all the classic style buildings and vehicles theme of the market.

This was one of the most unique night markets we have been to. Good variety of food stands (as vegetarians it could have been more vegetarian alternatives but as a meat & seafood lover it’s must been heaven)
But the best part was all the way at the end at the dozens of small vintage & clothing shops. The lights, decoration and people created an very nice vibe.
100% recommend

A really nice night market. It’s a little bit out of the center of the city but totally worth a visit. So many amazing street food options and shopping stores. You can options to choose from cheap buys to vintage/ collectors items. The pricing of the market is quite reasonable as compared to other weekend markets.
I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great to shop for vintage clothes and bag or other Thai products
But must be pay attention when you looking for food some restaurants will show you the menu without price and charge for a higher price

The Train Night Markets in Bangkok are a five-star gem! Whenever I'm in the city, it's a must-visit. The plethora of restaurant options, ranging from finger foods to delightful desserts, caters to every craving. The lively atmosphere, adorned with numerous bars and entertainment options, ensures hours of enjoyment. The abundance of shopping opportunities adds to the overall charm. With so much to do, it's an absolute delight and guarantees an entertaining experience that keeps drawing me back.

I love this night market. This is my favourite market in Bangkok here a lot of wind and tasty food and good clothes and good locations for photo.

So much to eat, buy, and see. The food is so fresh and made to order. You can find all kinds of food. For shopping there's a lot of souvenirs and clothing. For the locals, I see a lot of people buying electronics. It's a pretty hip place to visit and relax. I recommend this place.

Exceptional for food great choices, only gave it a 4 star because of the retro clothing. ie I still have some of the items for sale in my wardrobe. Classic vehicles are a hit. Even saw a few being driven around. Lots of other modern clothing but same, same, not much in larger sizes for Males.
Easy to get too by YELLOW LINE to Rama VIIII.

Beautiful local night market that is huge (almost like chatuchak I feel) and very well spaced out. It is not as crowded as those in town and the prices are less touristy, more reasonable.
The food stalls are great, particularly enjoying those huge pork rib soup!
If I stay near the airport again, this is the night market that I will head to. Good shopping, good food, less gimmicks!
Han Lee — Google review
Basically the best night market for me in bangkok. So big so spacious. Many food options and varieties. Many apparels and retail shops. The length of it I guess could probably be about 150m-200m while the breadth of it could be 50-100m.
It's mostly patronised by the locals as the location is quite a distance from the city center.
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.
Meriam Dayao — Google review
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.

1. Different types of vehicle to hire like golf cart and e-cycles.
2. Very good place to roam, I prefer take the golf cart, the place is very big.
3. In the entrance ticket counter we were told the most spots for photos and everything other
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!
Louis — Google review
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.
Zdenek — Google review
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.
Norman Rabaýa — Google review
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.
K Parker — Google review
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.
Ken — Google review
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.
Sam S — Google review
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.

Mega Bangna is a shopping mall in Bangkok that is popular for its wide variety of stores and restaurants. The mall has an IMAX theater and a light fountain, which makes it a great place to spend an evening.

It is super big shopping mall that encompasses IKEA, Homepro and Harbourland! Harbourland is one side of the building built specially for kids! you want to give reading lesson, chinese language lesson, dance lesson, taekwando lesson for your kids, name it, its all there. and as a muslim, Megabangna has prayer room at upper floor and very convenient, its not noisy, although women and men only separated by partition but having a designated place to pray in non-muslim country is already a privilege. There is no halal food, but there is a pork free (seafood based) restaurant (forgot its name). its at the foodwalk, blue signage restaurant. i like that the mall is very kids friendly, have outdoor playground with sand dunes, water play area with 10cm deep and a swing (on the water!!) for parents to monitor their children. The mall is always clean, lots of bazaar with affordable price, one big C supermarket (of course at Bangkok was bigger), and Megapark! (big outdoor park with sunshineee)
i am so amazed by the design and facilites. if you wish to walk a lot, can come megabangna. from end to end is so far 🤣 definitely will come again with my kids.

I was strolling through the mall with my family when we became hungry. So a quick trip to the food cord above us and I have to tell you, it's way to expensive. And the food is not even as good as expected for the price.
I had the Pad Thai with shrimps.
Let me tell you: it was way to spicy (which it shouldn't be in the first place. I have to add that I wasn't the one who put chili in), the noodles where too dry, the shrimps were overcooked and the peanuts totally burnt. A huge disappointment! Stay away from the food there!
At least it was clean, the cleaners were very accurate.

Great mall for affordable middle-class brands, and lots of them. It's a good place to spend a whole day in to get all types of shopping done. It is quite out of the way but it also means it's very local and not a tourist destination.
There's a free shuttle bus at Udom Suk station that takes 20-25 minutes to 2 stops at the mall. To return, get on the bus at Mega Terminal near Big C to get a seat as it most likely will fill up before the next stop.
There are plenty of nice restaurants as well as entertainment for children. Nicely designed with open-air setting.

Huge shopping centre with heaps of shopping options.
They do provide a shuttle bus from Udomsuk BTS. Take exit 5 and head down to the street level. You will see an allocated yellow box/bus stop. There aren’t much signs and directions but just make sure you wait at that yellow box.
Shuttle bus does take about 20minutes to come around and seats are extremely limited. The ride took around 15-20minutes.
Other down side is that they don’t provide a shuttle bus service to the airport, which I find is such a waste.
They do provide some lockers for free, a bit cumbersome to use but makes it convenient to walk around. Head to the main entrance where the information counter is, then head down the escalators to the ‘undergound’. The lockers were just round the corner.

An absolute standout of a golf course! I would rate this in my top 10 methods of Thailand.
This course knows how to make their customers feel welcome. From the moment you drop off your bag, you are made to feel welcome.
The course has a great layout with short and long holes, exceptionally well maintained with excellent, challenging greens—very strategic bunker placements.
The caddies, are some of the most well trained I have encountered. From knowing your club selection to reading the greens. Very few courses in Thailand can say they have caddies like this.
The Japanese hot bath is a great way to end your round.

Interesting golf course, the course condition is absorbing the water in wet condition still problem some in some area, especially in rainy season which shower every afternoon. But so far the first 9 holes are in good green condition and challenging layout.
I like all par 3 which has variety of distances and flag position.
The water hazard is every where, beware of it.
The food in the restaurant is decent taste and portion.
The cleaness in the locker is good.

It's a wonderful course, and well managed. In Thailand they tend to pack the tee times too close together so sometimes play will be slow. At this location, they tend to space things out generally ok. The course is in great condition, and I would recommend playing here. Possibly one of my favorite tracks here in Thailand.
March 2023: I need to recall my comments about time management. I think the speed was acceptable only due to covid in Asia. Recently this course is the same as others in Thailand which means waiting from tee box to tee box. Today's round took 5 hours. As illustrated in the photo, people wait for hole #1.

The high school, Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan School, is a revered educational institution in Chachoengsao Province. Students regularly attend this sacred and respected school to receive their education. The campus offers a tranquil environment where students can learn and grow. Surrounding the school are various amenities such as a Chinese temple for worship and a bustling market where local foods are sold alongside lottery panels for entertainment.
Temple that looks as grand as a palace. Always packed on a weekend. Finding parking can be a problem. Recommended to park beside the market nearby and walk down.

Ko Sichang is a picturesque island that can be easily reached by ferry from Bangkok. It offers various hiking trails, beaches for relaxation and scooter rentals to explore the island. You can hire a bike to travel conveniently from top to bottom and relish local seafood in numerous restaurants. Although it has limited beaches, the stunning sunsets compensate for it. This place is ideal for running enthusiasts as the roads are good with some great hills.
Koh Si Chang, Thailand – Travel Guide
Not to be confused with the much larger and more popular island of ‘Koh Chang’ in Trat province, Koh Si Chang is a magical little island close to Bangkok that exists mostly unknown to international travellers!
This piece of paradise in the Gulf of Thailand only has one beach, which is quite small, and the mountainous terrain makes this an interesting island to explore.
Unlike nearby islands, Koh Si Chang is not a party destination and doesn’t even have any bars in town! With little tourist infrastructure to attract people, the island stays relatively quiet, especially on weekdays. However, despite the laid-back atmosphere, there is plenty to do to keep visitors busy.
Koh Si Chang is primarily a fishing island, and the town is filled with people who make their living from the sea.
Due to the fact that, for the time being, so few foreign travellers visit the island, the majority of residents don’t work in the tourism industry, although this is rapidly changing.
However, at the moment, instead of trying to sell you a cheap souvenir or a snack, locals typically just go about their day and don’t bother travellers. However, don’t think that people here are rude! When you stop to talk to people, you’ll receive nothing but smiles and gracious hospitality. This is the way Thailand is meant to be!
The ferry pulls up to a pier in the heart of town, which is also where are the restaurants and the majority of the attractions are. However, you can rent a motorbike right on the pier which will allow you to head straight to your accommodation if you’re travelling light. Many resorts also offer pick-up from the pier.

A small island off Sri Racha. Getting there is via the public jetty near Sri Racha Park and only cost 50b. This place is a gem
There are little to no foreign tourist and usually consist of locals only. It has a beautiful Palace and one really nice beach. Its not going to be a ko Samui or a ko Chang but its special on its own way. Also, if you can don't miss the native white squirrel here which is found on the southern part of the island. They look beautiful but are very shy.

A beautiful island that is extremely easy and relatively quick to visit from Bangkok. Hire a bike and explore the island from top to bottom very easily. Lots of local seafood restaurants to enjoy. Limited on beaches but the outstanding sunsets make up for it. A great island for running enthusiasts - good roads and some great hills. Stay at one of the local wooden hut b&b’s for a slightly more off grid experience. It’s not for those who are looking to fill their days with activities but more suited to those looking for a complete reset.

Beautiful island peaceful and quiet compare with the tourist crowded Pattaya. But overall the boat service to the island was a nightmare. The fishing boat modified my family and me boarded was lack of safety even thought it has the life jacket equipped. The boat’s boarding walk way was too narrow. An accident happened during my trip back as one local fell to the sea. Just be prepared and caution when travel with elder and children.

A real gem of an island. Ended up staying here 2 months. Great for fishing, swimming and check out the local temples/ sites. Friendly locals. Don't expect a party though, as there are only 2 karaoke on the island. Recommended

What I liked about the small, cozy island of Ko Si Chang: # No cars allowed! Only scooters and stylish tuktuks. # Very little number of tourists, so no noisy night life. # Diversified hilly terrain with super satisfying narrow winding roads for scooter riding (rent your own Zoomer for 300 bht/24h). # Some quiet resorts and natural nooks where you can hide from the world and avoid crowds - good for writers or thinkers perhaps. # Dry microclimate: you feel like in Greece for a change, not a greenhouse. # Wonderful vistas from a promenade to the west and other high points. # Some choice of vegan food in certain restos. # Low prices. # So close to Bkk, 4 hrs by bus and ferry in total. # Smiling friendly locals.
Be aware of sea urchins (bring plastic shoes) and jellyfish in the ocean. Be prepared that life slows down rapidly right after disembarking and you might need some time to get in sync.

Paradise. Small, quaint peaceful little island without too many tourists. Immerse yourself in Thai culuture and be sure to check out the amazing Chinese temple, talk a walk along Asdang pier and catch the sunset from Hat Tham Phang Beach. Don't forget to grab a bite of some delicious fresh seafood while you're there.

What I love about this island, it is really accessible from Bangkok and worth the visit with all it’s beauty and wonderful locals. You can eat amazing seafood dishes and ride a rental scooter around the island. You’ll see some wild bore with its young roaming around and the temples and views are gorgeous. Given the island is relatively small, it’s perfect for a weekend getaway i.e. to escape the busy city life with many beautiful options of places to stay to choose from.

Phra Chudathut Ratchathan Palace
Historical landmark
Museums
Specialty Museums
This coastal summer palace was once used by royalty and now serves as a public tourist destination with stunning ocean views and gardens. Visitors can spend an hour or two exploring the beach, gardens, cafe, and mountain-top temple. Upon entering, pay respect to King Rama V whose statue stands on the right side of the entrance. Aussada Bridge offers a picturesque location for taking photos. This historical landmark is a must-visit attraction on the island despite being crowded.
Extremely picturesque location, with great parks and sea views, combined either remaining mansions and mysterious shapes of old dismantled throne hall...

Nestled within regal surroundings, Phra Chudathut Ratchathan Palace stands as a testament to Thai architectural grandeur. The intricate details of the palace showcase a harmonious blend of traditional design and cultural richness. From the meticulously crafted exteriors to the ornate interiors, every element reflects a deep reverence for Thai heritage. A visit to this palace promises an immersive journey into the kingdom's history and an appreciation for the exquisite craftsmanship that defines its regal charm.

Khao Sam Muk is a well-known mountain peak that provides magnificent panoramic views of the bay and is considered a local emblem of protection. This massive dike may be one of the largest in the world, but it is not very clean due to its abundance of monkeys. You can climb to the summit using stairs, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of the ocean. If you continue up the road, Monkey Hill awaits where you can overlook the city.
Fantasstic place for view and sun watching, many seafood restaurants, coffee cafe shops for selection, besides there are many monkeys walk, sit, eat on the road, must careful

the more you go uphill, the more hungry the monkeys. i went to the very uphill place wich you can only go by feet next to a little temple and the monkeys there were very importunate to get food out of my bagpack. specially the alpha males. you should buy all the food downhill.
rating what the apes like:
1. eggs
2. tomatoes
3. pudding
4. corn
5. banana
6. peanuts
the apes downhill only like 1.-3.
the apes uphill like 1.-5.
peanuts are not popular among them

The Dao De Tian Ling Gong temple, also known as the Shrine of Na Jia Tai Jeu, in Ang Sila, Chonburi is a vast and elaborate complex with a lavish fountain and decorated pavilions. The temple houses numerous colorful statues of Chinese deities and provides ample parking space without any entrance fee. Though it has a bustling commercial vibe, it is still an ideal place to visit for those who enjoy exploring temples or seeking blessings for health, wealth, and wisdom.
A enormous temple complex.
I think this is a place you need to go if you like seeing temples. In my opinion you can compare it with Viharn Sien in Pattaya. Many statues. There is enough parking space. No entrance fee.

It is located in Angsila, Chonburi. Visited here when we were on the way to Pattaya. The temple is huge. Majestic. That I think pictures can't tell how magnificent the temple is.
There are some floors and you can view the town of Angsila at the top of the floors.
There are a lot of wall paintings in the temple. Too many. But it seems all the painting is in Chinese words.
There is no entrance fee when we enter. we parked our car outside but saw some people able to park their car inside but I'm not sure how.
Overall it is definitely worth to pay a visit when you are in Chonburi.

We came here on the second day of Chinese New Year. Very lovely indeed. We went there to pray and pay respect to the Chinese Buddhist god. The area is very big and it is a 3 stories building high. They don't sell food inside the compound but that's ok since it is located in the town and there are many shops around that area. The washroom is also located in the compound. There is even a Lion dance and Dragon dance show in the evening and when it's a little dark, they even performed with light show. Creative group of performance and choreography.

Oh wow, this place was like no other holy site I've ever visited. Without intending any disrespect, it was sort of like a spiritual Disneyland, with so many different ways & forms of devotion. Giant statues of Krishna, Ganesha, Quan Yin, a floating lotus on the river, golden boys & Ganesha's vehicle Mooshaka who will hear your wish & make it come true. It is a holy place, and reverent but it's also boisterous & colorful & playful. There are live elephants here. As in most situations I didn't feel too confident it was the most humane life for elephants so if you worry a lot about that you might not like it. But they seemed content. It was just my uneasiness about the elephants that made not give this place a 5.

Wat Saman Rattanaram is a strange place, and I don't mean anything negative by saying like that. The Wat Saman Rattanaram is a combination of a Buddhist temple area and a market place. The temple area is, of course, full of worship figures - but prepare to implosion: Among the worship figures you find fairy tale figures, too, like Spider Man. Why not bow infront of a fairy tale figures? Attached to the holy? But don't you eat there at Wat Saman Rattanaram? There are street kitchen restaurants to eat. Don't you buy different things from many shops there? There is even 7-Eleven there... or don't you just spend time there and let your children play on the playground? But these are very ordinary things, aren't they? Buddhism is very skillfull to combine the holy and the ordinary, it is at times seen actually in every Wat. They are places to meet other people, friends, neighbours, relatives, even to do business when it's a market time... I see Wat Saman Rattanaram as a big practical Zen Koan. The holy and the ordinary, side by side, or rather mixed. But isn't Buddhist enlightenment the most ordinary thing? Return to the real, that is, return to the everyday? Okay, be it like it is, when you leave Wat Saman Rattanaram, there are many shops on the left side of the road selling cleaning tools. Remember to clean when at home.

This place is huge... there are multiple buildings as well as a market to explore. Besides the huge and impressive statues, there is also a big 🪷 lotus shaped structure in the river you can walk out to (not sure if this is a permanent fixture). They have some animals you can feed and pop culture statues that should excite the kids. We spent 4 hours here. Nearby there is a hospital which has a newly constructed statue and a big golden rock you can go inside, check that out too if you have time. You can take a tuk tuk from Chachoengsao station to the temple's market, just be aware it's not that easy to come back from the temple. They have trucks that come back to the bus station and train station, check the times after you arrive. Highly recommended. Entry is free.

This is the most terrible place. If you actually think this is entertainment, then you have something very wrong with you. The tigers are kept in beyond cruel conditions, and many are pathetically thin. They have no natural enrichment at all. They are all exhibiting distressed behaviours, such as pacing. These places should be illegal, and SHAME on you if you visit. I visited for the purposes of research, and I found it deeply, deeply distressing. 95% of the visitors I saw were Indian. The Thai government should close these places down.

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
Overall a nice park, but they could do better for some animals

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.
Sonny Khlane — Google review
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 Verona at Tub Lan is an unconventional hotel that features cowboy-themed quarters, situated within a themed resort that boasts dining and various activities. The location itself is picturesque with a reconstruction of traditional Veronese buildings, making it ideal for Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. Despite the current situation due to Covid-19 resulting in some outlets being closed, it remains a great place to rest and take photos upon check-in. The hotel rooms are spacious and include large bathtubs for added comfort.
This is a great convenient place to take a rest and take photo check-in in here, the hotel room in here is great with big bathtub, you can find "RC enjoy life" for more videos in here, enjoy life together

Some people might find this place interesting but during query times there are few visitors and very little to attract them to pay the modest entrance fee to enter and have a look.
The grounds are quite nice but not particularly well maintained. Once you're inside the staff will try to get you to our your hand in your pocket to try some of their activities.
There are apparently concerts or performances on occasion that attract quite a large crowd.

This is a perfect place for photo shooting. The decoration is lovely and mimic from various cities in Italy.

I drove all the way to it as i just followed Google Maps and it took me exactly to the Buetififul site of Natural Rock Formations :)
I was absolutely amazed by the place ..Cant wait to take the Family ..
Dont go at night as for your you are likely to fall in a natural Pothole ,)
So if you want to see Thsilands Grand Canyon , then its here BUT dont expect the Grand part ,)Though i loved it as it as its off the beaten path and was great seeing the locals go about their everyday life :)

Warning!!! Should read overall reviews before driving to this destination. This place was part of my road trip plans. I didn't read the review,just attracted to beautiful pictures. This is private property. You can't drive to the site. You have to park here and took those vehicles which attached in my review. I had a lot of stuff in my car and look around my sentiment said NO. After read the reviews some times changed for 500 or 300 seems depend on the mood of drivers. I personally didn't like this kinda things. If it let me drive to the site pay fix price 300-500 baht,I would happy to pay for it. For my own safety, at the time of arrival nobody there how could I know if anything happen a long the way. Skipped it.

Smaller than expected. It's a community maintained area so it receives no funding from the central government. I came during the afternoon so it was blazing hot. Better to come in the evening or late afternoon. You can rent a car for 200 baht (300 baht) from the visitor center. It can fit up to 6 ppl. Alternatively, I bargained to park my car in the temple and walk in there myself for 50 baht.

Cool mud hoodoos that are definitely worth checking out. Since they are mud, they won't be around for too much longer.
Have to park your car at the main visitor center and rent a modified tractor to tour. Cost is 200 baht for the tractor. Pretty good signage once you get to find your way here.
Greg Wang — Google review
Ok so there is a lot of sand and there is cool formation but after a few photos it is just sand. Many years ago you could just drive here and nobody cared now they "claim" it is on private land and they charge you 200 THB and you can not go inside with your own car. We did since the signs were in Thai and when he said we have to pay 500 thb for driving inside i just told him what and drove away. I do not like when locals trying to claim ownership of something and take a big fee. If its there land ok but i doubt it very much.

Thailand "rock formation", it is actually the stack of clay soil that slowly caused by water (rain) erosion. The structure may change year by year. To visit the site, tourist should go by the local tractor drive by villager who know exactly where is save, otherwise some area may risk to collapse. It is really funny activity and worth to do once.

An interesting geological place.....lots of unusual rock structures, quite intricate and beautiful to look at.
However it is quite a small area and once you've seen it, you've seen it.
Worth a look if you are in the area but I would not recommend driving hundreds of kilometres just to see it.

Golden Gate Plaza
Market
Shopping
Golden Gate Plaza is a vibrant marketplace that showcases an array of clothing and handicrafts stalls, along with street food vendors. It's a bustling night market where shoppers need to possess excellent bargaining skills to land deals on their purchases. With its massive size, the market can take hours to explore fully, and visitors can find an impressive selection of items to buy.
Come here monthly, good place to shop, brought lots of sports kit and pyjamas today. Next time fishing kit

If you are looking for second hand clothes, brand name handbag, original or copy clothes/shoes, machinary and toy, this is the place. Not worth going just to buy few items but if you need to buy a lot or just on the way to or out of Cambodia, great place to stop by at least couple of hours. Better take a bus from Ekamai bus terminal or Lumpini Park.

Golden Gate Plaza Thailand border is so much cheaper than buying in Poipet or the country Cambodia itself. I save a lot of money buying there and a lot of Khmer merchants who have their own stores in Cambodia would buy whatever they need in stocks at a discount rate and sale them in Cambodia for a huge profit. If anyone of you want to save money, shop in Thailand either at the Golden Gate Plaza or somewhere else in Thailand, you will save lots of money. Here in Cambodia, it is the land where one get scammed, get rip off, lied to. Khmer merchants will lied through their teeth and raise the price of whatever you want to buy. Very dishonest. Go to Golden Gate Plaza.

2. HAND HEAVEN
To call Rong Kluea market anything else would not be fair. I do not know where all the 2. clothes come from originally.
I was told that the majority of the seller's which is from Cambodia bring all the products they are selling them from Cambodia. The goods are brought to the market from Cambodia on big hand-pulled carts.
The products are mostly 2. hand clothes mixed with some new copy products.
The 2. hand clothes look like is origins from the west, how it end up at a border market in Thailand's one can only wonder about.
The market is supplying most of the 2. hand clothes shops around Thailand. When you look at the license plates at the cars at the parking lots you see cars from all over Thailand.

Normally it is very hot here but today was,an exception..Be careful of the touts ,starting off with copy sun glasses,and beware what comes next .....The Cheap Viggarrette Scam that is all a set up eith the sellers, the police and the tax office .....don't say I haven't warned you...
The Market though is well worth at least 2 hours and minimarts,atms,bike and buggy rental ,do a great place for a day's out with the family .Or in my case ,by my self on this occasion,)

Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is a remarkably preserved stone Khmer-style Hindu temple from the 11th century CE, located in Thailand. This historical landmark is the top site for historical parks in Thailand and boasts tourist signage, maps, information clearly marked, ample parking space, helpful staff, clean modern toilets and well-maintained buildings and grounds with shady areas. Best of all - there are no tourist charges to visit this non-commercial park!
Avery well maintained historic park. There is plenty of parking and nice clean restrooms. There was no entry fee on the day I went. The main structure was a marvel to look at even if parts were restored. This is not a very big site so it’s easy to see everything in less than a hour.

Bat Cave Phnom Sampov is a must-see destination in Battambang. Locals have set up tables and chairs for visitors to enjoy the spectacular view of bats flying out of the cave between 5:30 to 6 pm, while sipping on refreshing drinks. Nearby, there's a temple and killing cave that are worth visiting before witnessing the bat flight.
Very nice cave. They are not lying ! The bats are coming out between 5:30and 6:00pm
Amazing to witness. I recommend to go and read the sign in front which is very instructive.

An amazing experience, highly recommend visiting. We arrived at 17:00, entrance is $1 and then drinks are on average $1 - you will need to buy something to take a seat to wait or can stand for free.
The bats came out of the cave at about 17:35 and this lasted for around 1 hour! I think about a million bats came out which is incredible!
There are also lots of monkeys around, all friendly and no bother! Lots of local people feeding them.

A must see while staying in Battambang. Great location and the bats come out between 5:30 to 6 pm. The locals even placed a table and chairs for us to see it better and we could enjoy a refreshing drink. If you want to go see the bats, only a couple of minutes there is a temple and the killing cave. We can definitely recommend these before seeing the bats fly. The view is spectacular from the temple on the hill. You can either walk up or take a motorbike for 1$

Great place to see the 6.5 million bats leave the cave at sunset. I would definitely recommend, if on a scooter/moped, to follow the direction of the bats back to the entrance as they fly above you in wave like patterns (like in the videos).
Free entry, if you want to sit at the tables and chairs just buy a drink $1-$3.

Unfortunately due to time constraints, we couldn't stay until the time for the bat flies out of the cave, however the view was nice from afar. There are a chair arranged for tourists or visitors to wait. And you can try the local snacks waiting to be served anytime.
There are newly built statues of Buddhas from the rock of the mountain itself.

Waited for quite sometime for the bats to emerge and by the time they did it was too dark to see them. Not the bat's fault of course but I couldn't help thinking that the number of people and noise may be putting them off coming out. Interesting all the same.

This was exactly the way people describe it. Very unique experience. Millions of bats flying out of the cave.

An amazing experience to see millions of bats leaving the cave at sunset. Once they start flying out, more and more come for about 30 minutes!
The downside is that you have to buy a drink to sit on the chairs laid out by the locals and they aren’t too friendly about it but a beer only costs around $2 so it wasn’t too bad.

This is the highlight of a tour to Phnom Sanpow. The locals have everything set up nicely so you can enjoy the show in comfort. Get there early for a front row seat, and you can enjoy a bit of barbecued chicken and a cold beer while you wait for the bats to do their thing. The bats, and there's millions of them, will start appearing at around 6.15 pm.
Safe travels,
Mega.

If you enjoy immersing yourself in culture and temples, this is worth a visit! Although the bats weren't as visible as I hoped, I really enjoyed seeing the temples, climbing in and out of caves, and saying hi to the kids!
Navigating the caves:
To enter the bat cave area, it's 1USD - and you may be offered to navigate around the cave via motorbike (3USD per person) or a truck (10USD total) but this can fit up to 12 people. Don't be frightened if the locals say it takes 1hr 30mins to hike up, it only takes 20 mins to walk up, although just note that within the caves, you'll also be doing some climbing 🤭
About the food vendors:
Just a note, the local vendors can get quite angsty and aggressive if you sit on their tables (the ones you watch the bats from) without ordering!
If you do order, avoid the food on the grills and just get something canned or packed. Hygiene at the bat cave is 🤐

Beautiful hill. The view from the pagoda at the top is absolutely spectacular. Bring sunscreen and prepare to walk a lot! The Killing Caves are on the way up and worth a look. There are two other caves as well, but they can be really slippery inside and a bit muddy, so be prepared if you go!
The Ek Phnom Pagoda is an intriguing site located behind a new and ornate modern pagoda. The temple, dating back to the 11th century, is in ruins but still standing with the help of wooden scaffolds. Despite its current state, it holds a certain romantic charm that is enhanced by its lack of tourists during July 2020. Upon arrival, visitors may overlook the massive sitting Buddha statue situated behind a large tree until reaching the parking area.
Some carving still perfect. it us most ruined.
it is built for a state reforming center at 11th century, the khmer empire

It's an interesting place. It's located behind a beautiful new pagoda. If you're coming from Battambang city centre, you will probably miss the huge Buddha until you go into the parking area - the statue is right behind a huge tree. Ek Phnom is a ruin, held up by wooden scaffolds. It's actually quite romantic... and at this time it's virtually tourist free (July 2020)

A nice small temple. Good to stroll around and take some photos. There were not any tourists besides us on this site. Entrance is $1 and going around takes around 15-20 minutes.
Nextdoor one can find a large statue of a buddha.

Probably a really cool tempel, if we were allowed to just go in it. We were greeted and they immediately wanted money of us for entree. After asking if the locals also need to pay, they said no. When I asked them to explain why they didn't have an answer for us. We just headed back because we didn't want to deal with being treated different because of our origin.
We took the ferry from Siem Reap to Battambang. A very nice way (but not very comfortable) to combine transport and sightseeing. It toon us 6.5 hours. Mostly cruising the river with the busy life of the floating villages and friendly waving locals. The boat does look different than on the website😏. It is very noisy so take earplugs. There is a simple toilet and they stop at a floating shop half way for 20 minutes if you fancy fried Rice.. ticket 30 usd and sometimes they can puck you up at your hotel.

Do NOT take this boat !
I with 18 other poor tourists ( some of a mature age) after the boat broke down over half way on the trip as it struggled to get through very shallow water ( some people got out and tried to push it away from the muddy banks.
We where thrown off the boat in the heat and had to walk for over an hour and a half through fields, carrying out luggage! Some elderly people clearly couldn't manage, younger passengers helped.
We were finally met by a couple of beaten ups taxis, which were extremely grateful. It was a horrendous ordeal! We weren't offered any water or any compensation or acknowledgement of what we had been through!
At $30 per person, 18 on the boat.... do the maths! Someone is taking the p*** big time.
I'm only grateful that I survived it!
12 hours later I arrived at my hotel!

It really is fraude! Bought sleeping bus from Siem Reap to Bkk which was meant to leave at 2am and arrive at 10am. At 2am a sleeping bus came to pick us up, but it was only for 3h, it then dropped us to the border 30 minutes before the boarder check was even open. 1 hour later, after all the passport check was done we had to look for the same company ok the other side of the border to get us to bkk as the sleeping bus was long gone. We then ended up in a little bus to bkk which was anything but what we paid for.
Sleepless night and poor service! Hope you read this before booking anything with them.

Echo what everyone else has said. Wish I read these before travelling. It too us 11 hours door to door between BB and SR and cost $30 for first transfer and boat trip. They dropped us off 39 minutes away from SR and we had to take the tuk tuks available. They started at $8 each but when we complained dropped to $6 each. Just be aware before you book. It is a long and uncomfortable trip. The scenery is lovely but only for the first couple of hours. Then it becomess boring.
Mary Clarkson — Google review
The boat is different than that pictures on promotional material. The boat trip is very long, uncomfortable, and loud.
Bring some cushions to put on the seats, and also ear plugs to dampen the sound of the engine.
The trip was an experience, but it's not a viable form of transport if you are assessing pure practicality.
Michael Stokes — Google review
Attention fraud! you get thrown off the boat 20km from Siem Reap in no man's land. Everything arranged. tuk tuk drivers are waiting on site and charge $5 per person to be taken to Siem reap. there are no other ways to get there. There is also no internet to call a vehicle with the Pass app. The boat it also not the same like on the picture.
aiken altmann — Google review
It was a good way of getting close to the floating villages AND getting from Siem Reap to Battambang. It took us close to 9h in end of February 2020 due to dry season and we couldn't reach Battambang but stopped before it. No aircondition but airstream from boat speed (23km/h max). Boat had sun roof and a small hole-in-the-flor toilet. No drinks provided on board.
If you are looking for "local-kind-of-adventure" this is EXACTLY your thing. If not go by bus.
Startet at ~7am in Siem Reap by getting picked up at the hotel with a pick up truck (with what else?! 😁😁 )
Drove probably 40min to an harbor outside of Siem (at Siem Reap River). Went over the TonleSap to Sangker River. Lots of floating villages on this riverside. Nice to watch. 👍😎
Had "lunch" at 12 in boat stop. You might want to bring your own lunch.
After the lunch break the rivers gotten thiner and driving was not easy anymore. Jurney got a bit boring.
Reached a place close to Battambang finally at ~4pm. There a tuktuk has to be taken and paid to get to your hotel (paid 5$).
Schorsch Super — Google review
For me it is fraud!
I bought tickets from Battambang to Siem Reap. But, the driver stopped about 20km before Siem Reap, everyone had to get out and walk to the already waiting tuk tuks. For an inflated price you have to be driven into town for another $5. So in total I paid 35 euros for 6,5 hours on a small boat on which you can not move, with a short stopover and with fraud later.
Iona Langhans — Google review
Can only echo what other reviewers are saying! The journey itself was really enjoyable and felt like a good adventure - would rate that part 5 stars (other than the fact your bum gets quite sore as the seats are not well padded). However it was already a pricey mode of transport at $30 each, but we decided worth a punt for the fun factor, but then when the boat rocks up 45 minutes away from Siem Reap and you find out the tuk tuks are all charging the same amount - $8 per person - and no more than 2-3 people allowed in one tuk tuk ‘because of the weight with your luggage’! You’re stuffed as there is no internet or signal so you have no choice but to cough up - a sorry sting at the end of a fun day, a real shame. If we had been told in advance by our hotel, we could have at least tried to make an informed decision but it felt like a deliberate ploy. Overall the journey took 8 hours by boat, 9 including the tuk tuk part at the end.
The ancient mountaintop complex of Phnom Banan boasts sandstone temples, forts and gateways adorned with intricate carvings. Located just half an hour's ride from Battambang, the climb up the moderate stairs is well worth it to witness these 11th century prasats that predate even those at Angkor Wat. The stunning scenery includes a picturesque lake and beautiful flora surrounding the temple ruins.
The small lake before going up to the temple is so beautiful and such a good spot for taking pictures!! The temple with trees, flowers, and clear sky is so amazing. It is not bigger than Ek Phnom but it has its own beauty.

If you are up to climbing up 358 steps, it's not bad up there. A very old temple consisted of 5 towers that are about 800-900 years old. View is nice e as well and you will appreciate the breeze. Get some water, you will need it. Wear trainer shoes as well.
Stelios Andreou — Google review
This Temple is about a half hour to ride outside of the city of Battambang. There is moderate stairs to the top but you won't be disappointed as these 11th century prasats predate their cousins from siem reap at Angkor Wat. It's a great little excursion from the city and well worth the price of the ride!

You will get tired from climbing the steps. Bring plenty of water!! There is a temple at the top. There are a lot of wonderful photo opportunities here. You will see lots of damage temples here. Be safe, there are signs there saying a piece of temple might fall on you. At the bottom you can rest and eat.
Carlos Tovar — Google review
One of the historical places in Cambodia. 😁😁 This Angkor-era mountaintop temple is definitely worth a look. At the top are beautiful views of the winding Sangker River set amidst sugar palm trees, rice fields and small villages. To the south you will see a mountain range that features a crocodile shaped mountain. The temple itself is beautiful looking from the ground as well as the top. The structures are pretty much intact, but unfortunately like so many Khmer ruins, they have fallen victim to massive looting.

I visited Phnom Banan Temple during Khmer new year 2019 with my uncle. It really beautiful Temple with a very nice landscape around it.
The Tonlé Sap Biosphere Reserve is a vital sanctuary for aquatic birds and forms part of the Prek Toal floating village, where these birds have made their home. A visit to this area would be an excellent addition to your itinerary, especially after exploring Angkor Wat Temple Park. The Queen Tara Riverboat offers overnight stays, providing an opportunity to witness the bird sanctuary at first light.
Prek Toal floating village with 🐦 bird sanctuary watching view by local driver brought us to see how amazing they are living. I can say this is such as birds town....... Because many kinds of birds in Asia moving from around the Tonle sap to sittle thiers home here. Really interested to visit this place including local people who living with floating house .
If you have time after explore Angkor Wat Temple park. Then you can check it out with this place will be nice choose .
High recommend for you.

Tonlé Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and boasts of being one of the most abundant inland fishing grounds globally. Kompong Phluk, among the three main villages neighboring the lake (Chong Kneas, Kompong Khleang, and Kompong Phluk), is easily accessible via a short tuk-tuk ride from Siem Reap town center since it lies on the northeastern side of Tonlé Sap.
You may feel like you came to a sea but this is the largest freshwater lake in southeast Asia. It has been designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity.
Now come to the point what you will get as a tourist. You need to buy tickets to get to this lake through a muddy road. There are different sizes of boats of different size of groups. Anyway i would suggest to get a small motor boats if you are alone or 4/5 persons. This will help you to move fast and also see the fishermen families living on the water villas/houses for around 100 years.
There are number of floating restaurants that serve local dishes, sea foods along with special crocodile meat; you heard me right…these boats are mini crocodile farms as well.
To have the best of tonle sap lake, go more inside to the lake, stop the boat motor and enjoy the sunset. Its so refreshing and relaxing. On the way back to Siam Reap, try road side restaurants for fresh fish grill from the lake. Dont miss it.
Fazal Mahmud Roni — Google review
You drive 1 hour south of Siem Reap into the hinder lands.
The boats are old and there isn't a dock, just a gang plank to board the boat.
The area and lifestyle is interesting. mainly a fishing area because of the lake that flows into the Mekong River.
All the houses are built on stilts because the river raises almost 20 feet during the rainy season.
Richard Schagrin — Google review
Do focus on what the locals are doing on the shores of the lake and on the lake to appreciate the vastness of this great body of water.
Naturally, all economic, social and cultural activities are based around this body of water.
As the size and spread of Tonle Sap change with the coming and going of the monsoon, houses of locals along the shore of the lake are built on stilts to accommodate the rising of water level.
For locals who make their homes on boathouses, they actually raise anchor and move to different locations around the lake as water level changes.
Boats of assorted shapes are seen everywhere. Locals reside on them, catch fish on them, commute by them.
Adults can be seen repairing their boats and building new ones on land and by the shore.
Children can be seen having a lot of fun running up and down the sand dunes by the shore.
Everywhere you look, something is going on. Though a foreign visitor like me may find the living standard still needs some catching up, Tonle Sap and the air that surrounds it is filled with energy and positiveness. In turn, the people who have relied on and respected this lake for many many years are rewarded with simple but genuine joy.

Before the tour I had read so many bad reviews of this place that I had mentally prepared myself for the worst. However, my experience wasn't bad at all.
Firstly the ferry prices are fixed - we took the 28USD one - one which fits 5pax. If you have lesser people in the group, unfortunately that's the cheapest option out there. The trip starts when you get to the pier > btw there are cameramen there who'd click your pic to sell on a plate souvenir - it's impossible to dodge them, they would try to sell those at the end of the trip to you. Next we had gone there at about 4pm to see the sunset and such, so they took us through the floating villages, past the mangroves, to the crocodile farm with an attached restaurant and lastly to the sunset view point. There is much to see when passing by the floating houses - it's interesting to see how in different parts of the world, cultures can vary.
The trip is about an hour and some. The additional costs incurred would be the tip for the driver which was reminded about by the tour guide.
From what I read- the rip off happens in the morning when the tour guides add in extra activities like a walking tour of a school and the village. I'm glad that didn't happen to me and so I had a good time.

Tonle Sap Lake is a seasonally inundated fresh water lake with an attached river. Tonle Sap river connects the lake to the Mekong river. We (me Brijmohan and my spouse Sarika) visited Tonle Sap on 28th November 2023 afternoon alongwith approximately hundred companions of our Bhartiya (Indian) Dharmayatra trip. We ride the four boats and took a round trip of the Tonle Sap village and the river. The freshwater was looking like an ocean. The local river market, restaurants, indigenous people, fishing persons and comparative poor citizens of the village where tourism is a main source of income.

We met the locals who were so kind and got to see the school above water.
Boat ride on the the lake which has muddy water that takes you to one of its kind restaurant in middle of the lake is such a lovely experience.
The food was 10/10 and so was the hospitality. We saw gators 🐊 and if you like you can try gator cuisine as well.

Tonle Sap is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Southeast Asia. It is so huge that we couldn't see the opposite shore. It was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity.
It is part of the Mekong River system.
The part of the river that leads to the lake is home to a unique group of people who live on the water. You will also see the mangrove forest.
We took a private boat ride to the lake, but unfortunately due to bad weather we had to turn back sooner than we'd have liked. We stopped for tea at the village restaurant. They had beautiful souvenirs for sale made by the local women. We bought some stationery that we donated to the local school.
Do partake of this experience, it is really unique and the people are also very warm and friendly.
Top ways to experience Cambodia’s Kampong Chhnang floating village and nearby attractions
Visit Cambodge — Google review
One of the best tourist attractions of Kampong Chhnang must be the floating village. First, you catch a tuk tuk to the tourist port area (about 5 minutes from downtown) and then a local boatperson takes you down to the riverside and helps you get in a small boat. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the actual floating village, passing a mosque and several groups of fishing boats on the way.
The village itself is made up of 100s of clusters of 6 to 8 house boats lashed together and anchored in place. Often there is a communal deck area and a small shop (like a mini mart) attached as well. The house boats range from the very crude such as a tarp over one end of a canoe to the sophisticated, including boats with solar panels and satellite dishes.
The villagers go about their daily lives of cooking, doing laundry, repairing boats, playing with kids and dogs and so on, paying little or no attention to the tourists who are there to observe them.
At $25-30 (depending on your negotiating skills), it is not the cheapest attraction perhaps but it is well worth it in my opinion
Geoff — Google review
Decided not to tour around not take photos here, as these are people's homes. Most in the floating village are Vietnamese fisherman that live precariously on what they catch. This floating village does not have the tourist money that the ones near Siem Reap do. A lot of poverty apparent and reminds me of native American reservations that you may drive through.

For 25 dollars for 2 we were able to visit the floating village for 2 hours with a discreet guide who did not speak English. The visit was generally not too intrusive for the villagers even if we felt a little embarrassed to visit their living spaces like this. You can meet the guide at the town pier, the tuk tuk takes you there easily.
