After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.

During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.

Traveler reviews
Great experience
I was the sole member of the tour today so I had the guide all to myself. The trip was very enjoyable, both the driver and the guide were very fun people and the trip is overall well planned. The guide is also very knowledgeable not just about the history, but about great places for photos aswell. You have just enough time to visit all of the main points of interest. I was taking my sweet time at the Erawan waterfalls and still had about half an hour left to eat. 100% would recommend.
Best day trip from Bangkok!
Surina was so sweet! She made me feel taken care of. She even gifted me a small crystal and shared some of her fruit with us. Very comfortable van and cold water. Only suggestion is to use the restroom before getting picked up! The waterfalls are magical ✨️ 😍
It was super fun and relaxing, as well as informative of Thai history
Tour was great and tour guide and driver were awesome
Super event with Na
Was a super experience today. From the pickup from the hotel to the waterfalls, which by the way are better enjoyed in the morning, to the background information on the bridge at Kwae, not Kwai, as is mostly spoken in the West. Our driver, a very calm but very experienced man, always brought us safely to our desired destination. I would have liked to talk to him, but unfortunately the "language barrier" separated us. Na, my guide, was very competent. Thanks to her guidance, I have the best memories (in the form of photos and videos for reports and my vlog). I would book with the Siam Wander Team again anytime.
Excellent experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic. Driver met where we had arranged and was friendly. Going early meant we were there before the crowds. Guide was picked up on the way and very helpful. Knew what she was talking about. Loves photography, so knew where and how to get the best photos. Longboat ride to bridge is included. Walk across bridge and driver meets us there. Waterfalls were great. Again guide very helpful. Can get a golf cart up to first level, saves your energy for the walk up to the falls. I went up to 4th level. Lunch was lovely and freshly made. Guide knew best spot. Drive back was good. Definitely pay to take the toll way!
