A Great Day Trip

Our guide Poong Kie is excellent. She is very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She speaks English well and shared a wealth of information about Thailand’s culture, history, and religion. Our driver was also excellent. It was a long drive, but he was always smiling and provided a cold wipe and a chilled bottle of water every time we returned to the car. The lunch was delicious, and Poong Kie provided snacks along the way. I really enjoyed the trip despite it being a long day. I highly recommend it.

Chiang Mai Temples and Market Tuk Tuk Night Tour

Great tour to really get to understand Buddhism

This tour was great and the more time I spent in Thailand speaking with other people, the more I realized it. My tour guide Saman is a lover of Buddhism and really wanted to teach me about the religion and practices. We went to many temples in Chiang Mai and he explained so much. I realized how helpful he was when I went to other temples in Thailand with other people and realized they didn't know what I had learned from this one tour. I don't think I appreciated it fully until afterwards. (I was very jetlagged, but he was so engaging). The food part of this tour is not the central part of this activity, but we did end up at the night market and I got my choice of food from several booths - all of it was great and he sat with me and explained the market to me. As is mentioned in this tour, they leave you at the market and you find your own transport home - which gave me time to explore on my own. The tuk tuk around town was great fun and the easiest way to get around from temple to temple. Please remember to dress respectfully. Thank you Saman!!

A Fun-filled day

Great day with Ronnie and Mr Aom (excellent driver). The sticky waterfalls were fantastic and completely doable (go in the morning to avoid crowds). The Buo Tang Cave was a peaceful stop, and the Golden Pagoda was worth a viewing, and the view of Chiang Mai city was panoramic. Ronnie was engaging and helpful, and took many photos.

Very Enjoyable Experience

Our guide was Yut. He has a very comfortable car and is a safe driver. Yut speaks very good English and is an excellent tour guide. He gave us plenty of information about the National Park and easily answered all of our questions. He was also very comfortable just talking about life in Thailand. He was respectful and attentive, making sure we had everything necessary for a very enjoyable trip. Thanks for a wonderful day! Chris and Christine

A must to see the old town

This is a really good activity. Kitty was our guide. He was very professional and full of local knowledge. The cycling was safe on many back lanes of the old town. The smoothie stop, with local snacks picked up around our journey was a brilliant end to our morning. I would highly recommend this.

No.1 Full-Day Chiang Mai Caving & Jungle Kayaking: Chiang Dao

Matthew_A, Jan 2026

Fun Adventures

Awesome day trip. Great for anyone looking for fun adventures. The cave was incredible. Even before we got in the site outside is beautiful and colorful. The cave was so fun. I've been into caves in the US and they are smaller and narrow; here it was huge and so open. There are some tight and narrow spaces you have to crawl through but that's expected with any cave. The kayaking was a great way to end the day. It was a fun route, the guides will help if you spin or get stuck. We had lunch after the cave too. Overall great day trip and would recommend to anyone looking for an outdoor adventure day in Chiang Mai.

Private Chiang Mai Old City Half Day Tuk Tuk Tour

Ken_J, Jan 2026

A great way to see the attractions of Chiang Mai

I’ve been having back problems so wasn’t looking forward to a lot of walking between the temples and other attractions of Chiang Mai, and trying to decide what to see on our first day. So getting our own tuk tuk was just perfect. Having your own transport that took you directly to where we wanted to go and waited at each location was excellent. Our driver, Kit (?). Was fantastic, very accommodating and suggested alternatives if parts of the ‘standard’ tour didn’t interest us that much. The temples were amazing and so much more enjoyable to see them with your own transport. Highly Recommend

Inspirational cooking class!

Excellent informative tour with our tour guide, Sky. She educated us on the variety of spices and ingredients of Thai cooking and took us shopping at the local marketplace. Then went back to the cooking school and taught us how to prepare the raw ingredients, mix the slices and cook each dish. I was pleasantly surprised that I cooked a descent Thai meal in spite of not knowing how to cook at home. This tour has inspired me to try some of these recipes when we get home. Thumbs up for this tour.

Tomyumthai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai

Carla_R, Aug 2025

We choose Tomyumi because they had experience with kids in previous reviews.

Hi!! We are a family from Spain with 2 kids aged 10 and 11. It was just so so good! Uan was really nice, patient and made great dishes that we ate one by one after cooking each plate. Super recommendable!! If you go in the morning make sure you don’t eat breakfast before…as first dish you start eating is by 10am. Last dish was sticky mango rice around 12. He picked us in our hotel, took us to the market and then ready to start and amazing cooking Thai class.
