We have been to Thailand 5 times and this was the first time doing this tour.It was really good value we both enjoyed it very much we went to the cashew nut factory and learned how the nut grew which we did,nt know how much work they need to do on them.Now when we look at the prices of them in the supermarkets they are not that pricey at all .A very good tour and excellent value

Value for money wise this is an excellent trip. You get to see various viewpoints of the islands where you can take photographs or just admire the beauty of the island. The Guide gave us some excellent information at each location and her English was first class.
We also visited a nut factory and a gem factory. We were shown how the nuts are removed from their casings to be flavored and packaged.Obviously they are for sale in the shop at the location and there are loads of different varieties to try in advance to buying and to be honest I tryed most and bought quite a few also.
The visit to the Gem factory was the last stop and you see how the gems are cleaned and made into all types of jewellery which again is finished with a trip around the shop to buy. My wife informed me that the prices were good. Although there were shops in both the factory locations there was no big pressure to buy just the typically friendly Thai way. Excellent trip worth doing to break up just sitting by the beach or pool but you are still back at the Hotel in time to still have a few hours lazing.
Well worth it

Für den Preis völlig ok. Leider wurden wir nicht pünktlich abgeholt, da man an einem falschen Ort wartete, aber mit ein wenig telefonieren kamen wir dann an. In Thailand hilft jeder gerne. Die Tour ist für den Preis natürlich nicht sehr umfangreich. Es ist der Sunset View Point zu sehen, allerdings morgens, das Wat Chalong und zwei Fabriken. Eine für Cashew Nüsse und die zweite ist die größte Schmuck-Fabrik der Welt. Insgesamt ok, aber für den Preis kann man sich bei 3-4 Personen auch ein Taxi für den halben Tag nehmen und alles abfahren. Der Guide war nett und sein Englisch ok.
