Good day out of Bangkok

The tour itself was great and informative. Nice Thai buffet lunch and an option for vegetarians. We visited four temples and they were all wonderful. Only the feedback is that since all four temple visits were very similar, many of the group members wanted to go back to the bus before the meeting time. Also the heat may have impacted. We wished if there were some kind of hands-on activity of making something having coconut drink so that the entire experience is not redundant and worth the fee. The guide, Mindy, was great and caring!
