Next, head to the Emerald Spring Water Pool, a pristine natural spring that glows in shades of emerald due to its high calcium content. Enjoy a peaceful kayaking adventure on the pool’s crystal-clear waters, followed by a chance to swim and relax.

Had a wonderful time on the Urban hike - seeing places I would have never gone on my own. Also enjoyed the tasty treats provided. Listened to interesting stories and learned more history. I highly recommend it. Bow is super helpful and quick to respond as well <3 I look forward to doing another one in the future!

I booked to go on the canoe tour of Thonburi and it was incredible. It surpassed all expectations. The organisation was fantastic and thorough and communications were smooth and easy. Khun Bow and Khun Sun were perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly and incredibly knowledgable about the area that we visited. I
ve been living in Thailand for 5 years and I learnt so much on this trip! I can, without reservation, recommend this tour. It was amazing and I will be booking more 🙂
