Did
two
day
tours
here.
The
first
was
alright,
second
one
I
would
definitely
recommend.
First
one
was
a
hike
to
a
waterfall
in
the
national
park.
Our
guide
was
kind
and
taught
us
some
stuff
about
edible
plants
and
roots.
However,
the
hike
and
the
waterfall
itself
were
not
anything
special.
Not
worth
the
$40
per
person.
Also,
our
TukTuk
driver
stopped
in
a
minority
village.
He
could
not
really
explain
himself
what
was
going
on
(we
knew
this
beforehand
so
that
was
okay).
But
he
also
did
not
really
interact
with
the
locals.
So
it
basically
felt
like
we
were
intruding.
I
Don't
recommend
this
trip.
The
second
day
tour,
with
Sona
as
our
(English
speaking)
travel
guide
was
definitely
something
I'd
recommend.
We
visited
various
villages
where
we
interacted
with
locals
as
Sona
seemed
to
know
most
of
them.
We
also
passed
by
rubber
plantations
and
were
introduced
to
gem
miners.
Sadly,
the
gem
miners
were
hesitant
to
meet
us.
They
told
us
tourists
often
came
to
see
what
they
were
doing,
thereby
keeping
them
from
doing
their
work.
However,
they
would
not
get
anything
out
of
it.
We
bought
some
gemstones
from
them.
I
sort
of
expected
part
of
what
we
paid
($25
per
person
for
the
day)
to
be
going
to
the
places
we
visited
though.
Unfortunately,
this
does
not
seem
to
be
the
case.
All
in
all
this
day
tour
was
worth
it
though.
Lastly,
Rilthy
has
been
very
helpful
in
organizing
our
visit
to
Banlung.
He
picked
us
up
at
the
bus
station
and
dropped
us
at
our
homestay
and
we
were
allowed
to
store
our
backpacks
there.
