My long-held dream has finally come true! I never imagined the ferry could be so big! There weren't too many people on board. I booked a standard class cabin, and every room had plenty of space! I was able to get a good rest! It's incredibly good value for money! I highly recommend everyone to experience it!
It seemed like they only accepted cash, so I paid with my credit card at KKday. I was glad I could use my accumulated points to get a good deal. I was thrilled by the handsome lion, and the many elephants were moving around quite energetically; I could have watched them forever.
There were no problems communicating in Chinese, Japanese, or English. Although each stop was quite short, we managed to see all the key scenic spots. Be sure to get on the bus on time! The driver was fast and steady. I would definitely consider joining a similar trip again.
I visited in mid-April, and it was a bit chilly. It was crowded because it was a Saturday, but there was almost no waiting time for the ropeway, and I was able to board smoothly.
There are ninjas in the village 🥷 There's a bus stop outside the park. I personally recommend allowing 3 hours for sightseeing and taking photos here 📷
Installation was easy and reception was mostly fine, except for a slightly weaker signal in remote mountainous areas, but I was very satisfied with the price.
