Food was superb, tasty and plentyful. Being so close to the monkeys, feeding them was a surprise addition. Washing and feeding the lovely elephant was very special indeed. The bamboo raft takes an hour. So peaceful with amazing scenery. Its like Jurassic world. You stop off for bamboo coffee very nice and get to keep the bamboo cups and spoons they made. This trip is well worth the money especially doing a private tour with Shaun. Thank you so so…”
