This was my second time to the temple. Different guides each time. Gang went above and beyond!! I got information along the way on places to see and things to do. I also learned a little more about local culture and Gang even helped me learn some of the language. The experience in the temple was 11/10. I highly recommend this experience!

The tour was efficient and successful! Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering getting it done: tattooing starts after 8AM but the drive to the temple is about 1hr 15mins and past 9AM I was told the locals go there for the tattoo as well. I was picked up before 6:30AM which was fine. I’m guessing females get the tattoo master while males get the monk to do the tattoo. The traditional method takes ~15mins while the tattoo gun takes ~10mins of the same design. The monk/master decide which tattoo you’ll get. You can ask information about anything and the guide and driver Kong is willing to provide and translate. IT IS AS PAINFUL AS IT GETS across the spine. If you want first-hand idea, try digging your fingernail on your spine as deep as you can! It was my first tattoo. I went for the traditional method and got the Gao Yord over the spine. Lol. I managed. They have antiseptic cream and film available to buy. Came back to the hotel before 11AM. Hope this relieves some anxiety!

It was really great, the tattoo is very beautiful and the people were very nice. But the best was our Guide Kong, he was super nice, caring and showed us lot more then the Price included. If there were more activities guided by him, I would book them for sure. 5 Stars for the Trip and 10 for our Guide. Thank you!
