Ayutthaya, Erawan, River Kwai, elephants, and hot springs - two days of Thai history and nature with riverside accommodation.
trening.tomsk
We went on the River Kwai tour with Ayutthaya on December 10th. The program was very rich - the temples in Ayutthaya are truly impressive, and Erawan Waterfall looks like something straight from a postcard. We swam there and honestly didn’t want to leave. The overnight stay on the river was a highlight of its own: silence, nature, and then the river rafting afterward. We still remember it fondly. Everything was well organized, the guide did his best, and although the road was a bit tiring, the overall impression was very positive.
