A day packed with culture, spirituality and flavour. You'll visit three of the most important temples in the Phang Nga province – the Dragon Cave, Bang Rieng Pagoda and Manee Sri Mahathat.

First up is the Dragon Cave Temple. Built within and on top of limestone caves, it's as impressive as it is beautiful. Its monks make healing remedies. Next is Bang Rieng Pagoda Temple, high up in the mountains. It is a mixture of Thai and Chinese influences, and its location offers up amazing views of the area.

The final temple is Manee Sri Mahathat. It boasts a collection of wax statues of Indian, Chinese and Thai deities. But the most popular of all is that of Phor Than Klai – a monk known as ‘Golden Mouth' because of his ability to predict lottery numbers. And to round off the tour, you'll dine at a restaurant in a mangrove jungle, where you can try traditional delicacies.

Are rep was very knowledgeable, and interacting. A very spiritual and calming day out visiting some fabulous temples around the region. A lovely lunch over the river, and some fabulous sites along the way. You do not have to be a religious person to enjoy this experience. A very enjoyable day!!

Jenny our travel guide was amazing sharing her own personal experience with Buddhism along with her knowledge made it a memorable experience

The trip was very long . It was long time between temples to be sitting on a hot bus . People should be made aware how many stairs they are expected to climb before booking . The guide was really informative and knowledgeable There were plenty of drinks given through out the journey . The food for lunch was amazing . There were vegans on our trip and the guide made sure food was prepared for those people as well as the people who ate meat and fish. The trip is long so be aware of that . .

Great guide for the tour. She was wonderful and knowledgeable. The first temple requires lots of steps! Please warn people of this before they pay/book. It also is not suitable for anyone who struggles with heights. We had a great day other than the decrepid old minibus we had to endure with almost no air-con or suspension. It made travelling in the back very uncomfortable for the number of hours we travelled.

Very good tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us information about temples and religion. Enjoyed that tour

Gift, our tour guide was friendly and informative, from the start, to the end of the tour. She bought all our experiences alive. Thank you for being an amazing tour guide. The driver was also was also very good. The food at lunch time was okay, but but not very warm. The view was good. Overall, it was a great day out ??
