The Chinese tour will insist on using the cheapest packages. Cheap means poor boats, poorly trained staff. Its sad that the Chinese will rather save 200 baht and get a cheap tour rather than pay 200 baht to get a safe one. Dont buy from tour boxes or agents. Buy from real shops. pay the money and you know the staff are all trained and all awake and alert. Very sad that these cheap tours cut costs by having cheap staff. Is the cheap tour worth your life. Is your life woth 200 baht
