Masterclass in thai cooking!
even if you dont like cooking this will change your mind, picked up from hotel, driven by the wonderful natty and her partner. She takes us to a local market and shows us all the ingredients we might use. On the way to the farm you choose what you would like to cook. All the dishes are cooked from scratch and she takes you through each dish step by step. I cooked chicken massaman curry (best i have ever had) and shrimp tom yung goong, hope spelling is ok lol, spring rolls were made by everyone, all the food was superb and brilliantly explained by natty, Weather doesnt matter because you are in a huge covered kitchen so you can go if its raining which it was. All in all a fabulous way to spend the day and great value. Thanks to natty and her team.

We joined a Wendy Tours...
We joined a Wendy Tours group of 12, with tour guide Nami. She was really knowledgeable about the places we visited and clearly a veteran guide - she knew all the other guides, and the locals in the Karen tribe village, really well - including the pet pigs and chickens! The tribe village was actually a highlight, with tourist visits being handled respectfully of the villagers, and of course the water falls were beautiful. Sadly we couldn't see much of the Pagoda due to the fog but still worth a detour, don't forget to bring some a little bit warm as it does get cold ish up there( 10 15C)

Best thing we did in...
Best thing we did in Thailand - the elephants were amazing. The day was well organised - WhatsApp confirmed pick up time. Guide Paul and Mr Arm looked after us and took plenty of photos. The waterfall was fun - glad we took our waterproof phone case though.

We had a great time! Ann was our tour guide and she was amazing! The bus was comfortable and cold! The temples were amazing and breathtaking even though it rained on us we still had a great time! This is a must do excursion when you come to Chiang Mai!

An absolute must and perfectly organised !!
Maggie from WanderSiam was absolutely fantastic showing us around in perfect English. This trip is a must for anyone visiting Chiang Mai. But bring warm clothes and a rain jacket. It can be very cold and rainy up in the mountains.
Our family really loved this daytrip.
This company is very well organized, a top tip !

A Temple Tour not to be missed
This is a full day tour travelling to the far north of Thailand near to its borders with Laos and Myanmar, so be prepared to spend a long time in the car. It is however totally worth it. You will visit the three villages of Rong Kuhn, Rong Suea Ten and Huay Pla Kang in the Chiang Rai region and their Temples ‘White’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Red’ respectively. Each of these places is a stunning experience and we learned much from our guide Ratchavasit who was friendly and helpful throughout, answering all and any questions throughout the day. He focused particularly on the sustainability aspects of the trip and the history of each temple, emphasising their central function within the villages in which they are located. We must also congratulate our driver Mr Boi who drove in a manner and with skill which clearly demonstrated his consideration for the comfort of all nine of his passengers.
We would definitely recommend this tour and we would happily travel with Ratchavasit and Mr Boi again. Thank you!

We had a fantastic day....
We had a fantastic day. Mr. Wat was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we appreciated his humor, as well. Our 8 year old did just fine with the 11 hour trip. Our favorite part was the elephant sanctuary but the hike was nice too. Mr. Wat took plenty of pics which was nice gesture. Even though we hit a little rain, it did not ruin the hike or experience one bit. Check this tour out if you're in Chiang Mai!

So fun, beautiful and informational
Moo moo was our tour guide & she was so friendly, knowledgeable, caring and personable! We loved visiting the Karen tribe, make sure to bring cask so you can support and buy some cool handmade bags or coffee/tea! We enjoyed free time on our hikes/walks and at the twin pagodas! Everything was timed nicely, didn’t feel rushed at all! We enjoyed hearing about the local culture of the Karen tribe and stories about the king and national park! The weather in the park was cooler and felt amazingggg

M was a considerate guide and great driver.
He gave us information about the various points of interest that we needed without it being excessive, altered the itinerary to suit our preferences, and made the whole day enjoyable and memorable.
His driving was safe and the car very comfortable.

Our guide on the trip on...
Our guide on the trip on may 4th was so lovely and knowledgeable- shared a lot about his own experience as a member of Karen tribe and the region we were in. The hike was beautiful and appropriately challenging at times — you will work up a sweat! The views were really amazing and this felt like a unique and special experience to have when visiting chiang mai

Amazing day
Amazing expirience! We booked a private tour and were alone with the elephants all day. We walked them, fed them and bathed them. Elephants were calm and happy and eating a lot!! The elephants freely decided the pace and we followed them. We will never forget this day!
