We got a good hike round Kew Mae Pai (you don't need to be super athletic, but the first hour or so is uphill and will get your heart going). Some wonderful photo opportunities up there if the weather is good! Then on to the royal pagodas, which I appreciated more than I thought I would, a quick market visit, a really nice lunch, and then a visit to a Karon village for coffee. Our guide Chin made the day run really smoothly, adjusting to the weather and other situations as we went along. Recommended.”
