“Great guides for both the hike and canoe trip. Khun Chun was wonderful guide. I think he knew every tree in the forest. He found us so many wildlife- snakes; toads; monkeys; birds; etc. that would have gone unnoticed. Transportation was phenomenal. She explained many different trees, plants and other items. Canoeing had breathtaking views.…”
