Good to know

  • Maximum number of participants per group is 10 persons.
  • Regarding our visit to Lopburi: You must always remember that, no matter what, monkeys are wild animals, not pets. Even though they may look cute, especially the young ones, we always recommend to keep your distance, not bring any food with you and keep all your belongings in your bag. You don't need to come close as it’s just as fun to watch the monkeys from a distance.
  • There are still monkeys around Phra Prang Sam Yot in Lopburi, but fewer than in the past. Many were relocated by authorities due to overpopulation. Please note that Lopburi is not a zoo; the monkeys are wild and roam freely, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Great Photos at Ayutthaya and Lopburi

I had an amazing experience with our tour guide Joyce, in Thailand! From the very beginning, our guide was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He did a wonderful job explaining the history and culture of each place we visited and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and that was the main purpose for me taking this tour. What really stood out was the personal attention and genuine care. Our guide was patient, accommodating, and always willing to answer questions or adjust the schedule when needed. He made all of us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire tour. If you’re visiting Thailand and looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dependable tour guide, I highly recommend Joyce. He made the trip truly memorable, and I would definitely tour with him again!
