What are people saying about Chiang Mai

Kristen_B, Jul 2026

City tour

Our tour guide was Jin. He was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and attentive. We learned a lot about the temples and Thai traditions. This was one of our favorite tours we went on. We went to the market last and he told us which snacks we should try. We ended up eating lunch with him and he explained all of the different foods. Excellent tour! Jin is the best tour guide!

Half Day Chiangmai Bua Tong Sticky Waterfall Tour

Nitin_G, Jul 2026

Excellent company and super experience!

Fantastic company. There was some confusion about the pickup, but they made up for it by sending us on a private tour instead of the group tour. Very satisfied with the outcome and the company owner was very pleasant and easy to work with. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. The visit to the waterfall was superb as well. Driver was superb, climbed the waterfall with is and took pictures and videos for us the entire time. Could not have been more pleasant. Excellent

Chiang Mai - Doi Suthep Temple & Wat Pha Lat Hike

Bonnie_B, May 2026

Sunrise hike

Our tour guide was Sama and he was excellent. He was personal and very knowledgeable. We did the early sunrise tour. We got lucky and went on the Buddha’s birthday and there were 800 monks there. We like hiking and the hike down to the next temple was fun. I would highly recommend this tour.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep spiritual Sunrise Tour with an Ex-monk

LINDA_O, May 2026

Early start but worth every minute

This was a great tour and a wonderful introduction to the temples outside the Old City. It's an early start but so worth it to see the sunrise on Doi Suthep and how the monks go about their morning rituals. Tom was a great guide. Would definitely recommend.

Chiang Rai Day Trip from Chiang Mai City with Golden Triangle

Penny_M, Apr 2026

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

Christine_S, Mar 2026

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!!

David_C, Mar 2026

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.

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

Mary_F, Feb 2026

A fun adventure!

Super fun day of caving and kayaking! The Chiang Dao cave, with its myriad shrines and amazing caverns, is definitely a must-see. And the kayaking portion was tons of fun! The river was very gentle and shallow, so suitable for beginners. There were just enough challenges to keep it interesting - I’ll confess I wasn’t the best at steering so I did fall in twice (wear something you don’t mind getting wet!). But again the water was super shallow so I just stood up and got back in. And the guide was great about helping me out of those situations. FYI the drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Dao takes about 2 hours in the back of a truck, so be mentally prepared for that, and don’t make any evening plans. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for an adventure!

Chiang Mai - Doi Suthep, Wat Chedi Luang & Wat Pha Lat

Stacy_F, Jan 2026

An amazing introduction to Chiang Mai

Fantastic tour of Wat Umong, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a jade market, and the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. We covered so much in a short period of time, but never felt rushed. Our guide, PT, was really informative, sharing the history and meanings behind everything we saw. We were admittedly a bit jet-lagged (1st day in CM), but the tour was really fascinating.

Go where the locals go, Eat what the locals eat! Food Tour with Local Foodies

Rob_T, Jan 2026

Wonderful Food Tour

We had an amazing food tour with PT, our delightful guide from Chiang Mai Foodies. We learned a lot about the food, culture and people of Lanna/Northern Thailand. We ate SO much! More than 15 items from the Wararot Market, a local restaurant specializing in Northern Thai dishes, and the night food market. She had a plan in mind, but easily adapted based on our interests and the availability of items in the different stalls.

Home Cooking Class in Chiang Mai With Visiting Local Market

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!
