Sticky waterfall ATV and White water rafting Adventures

MarkScaife, Aug 2026

Fantastic, just brilliant

Fantastic day, 3 great activities. All three were brilliant. Id recommend it to anyone who's up for stuff like this. It rained all day for us but it almost made it better. More mud for ATVs, bigger faster rapids for rafting. We do all sorts of stuff but this was as good as it gets for us.

We had an amazing day. The highlight really was meeting the elephants up close and feeding them. We spent around three hours in different locations and observing them and interacting. Our guide was amazing Fluke he ensured we had everything we needed for the day

Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai

Leo_L, Aug 2026

Highly recommend! I did...

Highly recommend! I did the morning class, and hotel pickup was smooth and easy. We started our day by visiting local market and learning about Thai ingredients. Then they took us to the cooking school and farm. Our instructor Lily was very friendly, helpful, and funny. The cooking process was relaxing yet efficient and everything is basically pre portioned so it’s hard to go wrong. The half class has a stir fry, curry, and soup so come hungry! Very good value for the experience, don’t miss out.

Fantastic trip to Chiang Rai

Although it’s a long journey, the scenery along the way is absolutely stunning, and the coffee stop was very welcome! We loved visiting the White, Blue and Red Temples, each completely different and so beautiful. The buffet lunch was also a great opportunity to try lots of different Thai dishes. Our guide, Addi, was fantastic — really friendly, knowledgeable and even taught us a little Thai along the way! Our driver was brilliant too and made the long journey feel easy. A long day, but definitely worth it. A really memorable trip!

Dee, our tour guide, was beyond amazing!! She went out of her way to inform and encourage everyone, maximising the time we spent at the temples. Anyone that is lucky enough to have her on board the trip will have a great time! The temples were absolutely stunning, could not fault a single part of the trip (aside from maybe the lengthy journey - can’t be controlled) ☺️

Premium Half-Day Ethical Elephant Sanctuary Experience Max9Guest

Hussain_D, Aug 2026

memorable experience with elephants

We had an excellent experience! Mr. Todd, our tour organizer, was absolutely wonderful—very friendly, helpful, and well-organized throughout the trip. We visited an elephant sanctuary with four elephants, and the whole experience was truly enjoyable. The elephant caretakers were very kind and welcoming, and the food was delicious as well. The place was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing, which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this tour, especially for small families looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience with elephants.

Doi Inthanon, Waterfall+Royal Project from Chiang Mai with Lunch

Doi Inthanon tour Review

Fun and adventurous way to see the national park. The weather was not very good when we got to the top, but obviously nothing the guide or tour could do about it. We opted for the 1.45 hour hike which was fun to see a couple of waterfalls and rice paddy’s, while also learning about the area from a Karen village local. The waterfalls were a highlight as we couldn’t really see the pagoda. The food for lunch was fine, and the free bananas were a plus. They give you lots of water. Be prepared for it to be very cold and rainy (we thought base layers and a poncho were the best because you could wear it over a backpack). Our guide Pam was very helpful and the driver Tom always drove safely. It was a small group and we thought it was generally enjoyable aside from the weather.

A lovely day trip to see...

A lovely day trip to see the elephants and have a great walk/hike through lovely rice fields. Doi Inthanon was cloudy the day we went, but still was a nice view, and the guide gave our group the option to skip for more time with the elephants if we didn’t want the cloudy vista. The sanctuary felt ethical and the animals seemed well treated and safe, and that made this a highlight of our stay!

Doi Inthanon National Park, Waterfall & Royal Project Day Tour From Chiang Mai

Ren_H, Jul 2026

Excellent Doi Inthanon Tour.

It was an excellent all day tour. The waterfalls were amazing. Visiting the Royal Project to taste the coffee and tea, visiting the rice fields and having lunch were good. Unfortunately, it was so foggy and drizzling that we could not see the pagodas. Our tour guide, Apple, was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

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 !

Visit Dantewada(The Angel Land), Wat Ban Den, Sticky Waterfall

Sean_B, Jul 2026

Great day trip

Great day trip tour from Chiang Mai. Sticky waterfall was fun and a refreshing experience and our guide was helpful and provided tons of interesting and educational information. Blue temple was a visual feast with so many great photography opportunities. Had a delicious lunch after the temple and then finished the day at Angel land where you are sure to find an instagram worthy photo spot or two. Great tour, good locations, and a fantastic guide. Would recommend and would do connect time I’m in Chiang Mai.
