“I had a wonderful trip to Ayutthaya with TripGuru and TumTum and Khun Noi. TumTum was a wonderfully kind guide whose historical knowledge was very impressive. she took such good care of us and it is partly down to her that it was such a wonderful trip! I would definitely like to request her again if I do any more tours with them. Ayutthaya itself was so beautiful and it was wonderful to finally see some of the historical landmarks (on my 5th trip to Thailand). I also had a really great tour group who I got along with well which definitely helped. It was actually one of the first…”

Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Day Trip from Phuket with Lunch

13.Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Day Trip from Phuket with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 842 reviews · 9 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $52

Review of Phuket’s Phi Phi speedboat day trip, with Maya Bay, snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“The crew was nice and welcoming, but the speedboat was crowded and it was really bumpy, the boat is not comfortable at all, the 3 of us spend 2 days with back pain after the trip, one of the other tourist hurt his back pretty badly and have to leave the trip in the middle on a regular ferry to probably go to the hospital. Be aware that if you want to see the lagoon closer you will need to rent a longtail boat there with an extra cost, otherwise you will need to be waiting outside the bay on the boat for about 45min, be prepared”
