So much better than a big tour group!
Mr Ray sent us a msg the night before to confirm our flight and arrival time. We arrived at the airport, met him outside at our agreed meeting point and off we went. His car was clean, he was friendly and knowledgeable. We caught the early flight from KK, so had time to stop off at local bakery! They only took cash, which is something to consider if you want to go to the true local places, not all of the venues have an eftpos machine. It was cheap and delicious and so nice to hang with the locals.
We got the the Orangutan Sanctuary before the tour buses, so also got the prime positions to view these beautiful animals. Two had little babies, they were very playful, it was wonderful to watch.
We also saw the sun bears and got to buy our souvenirs at the gift shop. Tshirts were a bit on the small side but, they don’t take refunds or exchanges, so check the sizes.
The rainforest centre and the viewing platforms were also worth the visit. Lots of bird photographers hoping for that special shot.
Lunch was also delicious, a small buffet but, the food was great.
We had some time to kill before our flight back so we went up the hill to a Buddhist temple. The views were amazing.
Thank you so much Mr Rey, we had a wonderful time and hope to come again with the other half of our family!
