A must in your next travel to Chiang Mai

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.

A Must Do In Chiang

This tour with our tour guide, Som, was one of the best we have done in Thailand. The communication pre pick up was excellent, it started and ended as scheduled, and the tour and information we received was outstanding! The guide and driver were top-notch. This is a must do in Chiang Mai!

Leela was a wonderful and very informative guide who took her time showing us around each place we visited at the pace we wanted. She made sure we were comfortable and answered all of our questions. The tour was a good variety of temples and a nice local market at the end. A great experience overall!

Best of Chiang Mai: Private Tour in a Day

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.

Chiang Rai Temples: Private Tour from Chiang Mai

Tong was our tour guide...

Tong was our tour guide and from the start of the tour he was very nice and made us feel comfortable. He explained everything we asked from understanding about monks to how rice is made. We enjoyed his company and his humor. It was our first time in Thailand and he made this trip so much more nice and comfortable. He brought us snacks from his village and let’s just say it was amazing!!! But i will say he is an even better photographer. We never have anyone to capture pictures of us as a couple and he did that and knew all the good spots! Thank you Gong, keep being awesome and having the big heart you do!

Doi Inthanon Private Tour with Trek & Lunch from Chiang Mai

Hannah_T, Mar 2026

Fantastic tour with Tong!

What a wonderful day in Doi Inthanon with Tong as our amazing driver and guide. He made it very special from the start, such a warm and funny person always checking we were ok and making sure we had everything that we needed. The small things like providing a local snack (which we probably wouldn’t have tried), tissues for the rest rooms, cold water, phone charger, and his recommendations for local Thai dishes and places in Chiang Mai (which were spot on!). He made the trip fun and very informative and always offering to take photos for us. We never felt rushed but always looked after. It was great to see the waterfall and then the 2 hour walk through the forest with a local tribesman called Cher, also very calm in nature. With his limited English we still got the gist of what he was telling us. He showed us the wonders of nature with many different little demonstrations along our walk making the time so much more about our surroundings and living in nature - hence Tong calls him Mr Magic Man! Grinding our own coffee, which was just delicious, in the village was a great way to finish this part of the tour. The highest point in Thailand was another great part of the day. We had another trip booked with Pagoda View Tours 2 days later and luckily we had Tong again as our guide!!! Great day thank you, if only all tour guides were like Tong! Highly recommend.

The most wonderful night tour with Margaret

The most wonderful experience visiting these temples at night with Margaret. She made the whole experience beyond amazing and special and can only wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It felt like I got the special inside tour from a local—which is exactly what I love. The night market was beautiful clean filled with music and amazing. Margaret even shared gyozas and mango treats with me which i appreciated oh so much. Thank you for the special night Margaret—you are a Star. 🌟

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.

Tomyumthai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai

upasna_g, Dec 2025

Great experience and food!

Do not eat before coming; you will cook one course at a time and then eat it after it’s made rather than cooking all the courses and then eating as one big meal also you will be taking your shoes off to enter the home and kitchen so be prepared for that with socks etc The food and experience were great! Will def make the food when I return!

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.
