    Nous avons fait le Ang Thong Marine Park Big Boat Tour et c’était super ! Les paysages sont incroyablement magnifiques ! Les montées sont rudes mais les vues en valent la peine ! Notre bateau n’était pas rempli ce qui nous a permis de profiter encore plus de l’endroit ! Nous avions pris l’option kayak et avons bien fait, super expérience ! Le repas et les collations étaient très bonnes ! Nous recommandons à 100% !

    Wir haben die Schnorcheltour von Ao Nang aus gemacht. Es war die beste Tour, die wir in Thailand überhaupt gemacht haben. Einfach super! 👍🏼

    Good organization, taxi pickup at the hotel, nice jetskis and the pig island was fun. We only couldn’t do snorkling as there were no masks.
