“Rafting was good experience someone takes you down the river, lovely sights to see and then for a coffee or tea from a bamboo cup. What a perfect afternoon activity cooked authentic dishes with fresh ingredients, hand washing facilities included, family that host the cooking class are lovely and share knowledge while making a super fun experience nothing was too much. This review doesn't capture the greatness of this experience. Try it for yourself!!!!!”
