What an amazing experience! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Three fantastic activities, all perfectly planned with a delicious lunch. Yabel was an incredible guide – super friendly, very responsive, and took great care of us throughout the trip!

3-in-1: Doi Inthanon Tour, Elephant Sanctuary, and Trekking Trail

Leo_L, Aug 2026

Good day out! Elephant...

Good day out! Elephant sanctuary was very nice, compared to other instances of elephant sightings in Thailand, you can tell that these animals are well looked after and taken care of. Doi Inthanon was a bit disappointing, but due to the foggy weather, the pagodas weren’t as visible. Trail was fun! 2.6km or so, be prepared to walk in varying terrain. And the village visit after was nice.

Chiang Mai Elephant Sanctuary, Bamboo Rafting and Waterfall Tour

Anushka_B, Aug 2026

A fun day with the family!

We had a wonderful day with Fluke our guide, who spoke excellent English, was friendly, informative and funny. We got picked up at our hotel, Fluke messaged ahead to give us an exact pick up time ( we had previously received a half hour window) as well as the car number. The first stop was the sticky waterfall which my boys ( 11 and 14) loved. The place is unfortunately rather crowded but that’s nobody’s fault, we still had a lovely stop. I could’ve used another half an hour there to take a leisurely walk to the lily pond with the springs. I did end up seeing it, but had to sprint there and back. The next stop was the elephant camp, again a hit with my younger son who wanted to feed and pet every single elephant. Then the bamboo raft ride down the river which was a nice relaxing way to end the day. All in all, a fun entertaining experience! Thank you Fluke!

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

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.

Chiang Rai White Temple, Blue Temple and more from Chiang Mai

Helen_L, Aug 2026

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) ☺️

Doi Inthanon Private Tour with Trek & Lunch from Chiang Mai

Sambu_D, Aug 2026

Exceptional Service and well guided tour!

We booked the tour about a month in advance. We requested a 7AM start as many recommendations suggested this. The owner was very responsive and proactive as the date came up. She let us know what to expect and what we should bring. Tong came promptly at 7AM and we departed. He provided a lot of historical information about Chiang Mai and Doi Inthanon. The drive was about 90 minutes, that's with a quick pit stop. The waterfall, the hike, and the pagodas were great experiences. The hike was led by a Karen tribe member, and that person rotates, you can't make a specific request. Our guide had very sharp eyes for pointing out wildlife. She took pictures for us, and gave us some history about the tribe. We ate lunch in the village, then proceeded to the pagodas and then the summit. We took the 90 min drive back and got to the hotel around 3-4PM. I do recommend the 7AM start time as well (if they can accommodate on that day). We saw big lines for the Karen guided tour as we passed by. Take mosquito spray! Ask for Tong (if he's available). He knows everyone on the tour.

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

Matthew_A, Aug 2026

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.

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.

Chiang Mai Best City Tour with Doi Suthep, Pha Lat & Chedi Luang

Mark_V, Jul 2026

Could not be happier

Our guide (Som) is amazing. Very informative. Very caring. Very patient. She showed Grace when we were unsure what to do and she helped guide us when we wanted to participate in prayers, offerings, etc.. We were allowed to ask lots of questions and she answered them all. We told her we were most excited about visiting the temples in the mountain, so she changed the itinerary so we could start there and then end our tour closer to our hotel. All along the way she gave us history about the city. She gave us history about the Buddhas. She gave us history about the Royal Family. She gave us history about Thailand. Awesome tour, awesome time, again could not have been happier with everything. We highly recommend this tour for anybody who has time to get a little more history and culture of Chiang Mai.

Miguel_D, Jul 2026

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 !
