Top Chiang Mai Day Trips

We had Kavee as a guide and her many years of knowledge, history and passion for all the different locations giving a brilliant inisight of the Karen culture and temples, which greatly enhanced the entire experience. Nothing was ever too much trouble and despite requiring specific deadlines to keep the trip itinerary on time, we never felt rushed (even when people arrived back at the coach a little late). Very enjoyable experience, but as per the itinery suggestions, don't book if you have an evening flight on the same day, as the time window is not cast in stone and can take up to the suggested maximum of 13.5 hours if you have a few stragglers that push the time constraints, which is outside the guide's control.

This is an incredible sunrise tour that should not be missed! Non, our tour guide, is an ex monk and incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive to Buddhist culture. He had a way of explaining things that made it so easy to understand. He made a point to have offerings for us to give at the morning alms tradition. We were able to offer prayers and wishes for a family member by writing their name on a heart and hanging it at the central part of the temple grounds, then he led us in the ritual of walking around that temple three times in a walking meditation, and making the offering a flower and lighting a candle. It was very moving. The grounds of the temple are quite special and the view at sunrise is incredible. He knew all the best spots to get photographs and made a point of taking our photographs if we wanted. He also included two other temples on our tour and was clearly loved by all who know him at those locations too; including the dogs and children. He arranged for us to have a private ceremony with one of the monks who gave us a teaching and individual blessings as he tied the traditional bracelet around each person’s wrist. I’m so grateful Non was our guide. His insightfulness, I his joy and playfulness, and his deep reverence with a monks and Buddhism, made this a deeply special experience.

Chef Natalie was absolutely wonderful. I am gluten-free and she went above and beyond to make sure I was aware of what to not use. She was fun, energetic, informative, and so lovely. I cannot recommend this enough!!!! The transfer service from hotels was wonderful too. So fast and efficient

Excellent. The Tour was organized in an excellent manner. Andy the Tour guide was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable and explained things very well. Andy was very cooperative and cared about guest also he was very professional in his conduct. A great appreciation for Andy. Doi INTHANON NATIONAL PARK is worth visiting. The whole day you are immersed in a nature friendly environment. The Tour does involve walking on steep steps and some steep height. So you have to have an intermediate fitness to fully enjoy the tour. Visit to DOI INTHANON NATIONAL PARK is Highly Recommended. The company Wendy's Tour is Highly Recommended as well.

It was a long day however, it was really fun and exciting tour. Boon was our guide and he explained a lot on the buddihsm and mediation as well as on the temples visited. Also gave tips on how and where is a good photo spots as well as help us take our family photos. All in all it was really great, fun tour.

The waterfall itself was pleasant to watch, but be careful, you can get wet! The mountain itself was okay; visiting the highest spot in Thailand is cool. The guide was funny. The hike itself is okay, it's not difficult at all, but I hoped for a more pleasant hike.

My wife and I had a great time on this jam-packed tour! Our day began with a visit to the beautiful twin pagodas followed by a short hike to the highest point in Thailand. Next we did a longer but not too strenuous jungle hike to a hill tribe village that had excellent locally-grown coffee, tea, and a delicious lunch. Our day ended at the Living Green Elephant Sanctuary, an ethical sanctuary where you can feed the elephants, walk among them, and bathe them only if they choose to go to the water. This was an incredible experience and the highlight of the tour. The handlers knew the elephants well and the love and care they have for the animals was very apparent. Our guide Sandy was amazing, taking great pictures of us, educating us about the elephants, and pointing out different plants and points of Interest on our hike. It is a long day with a lot of driving between places, but it's worth it for all the things you get to do! Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and plenty of sunscreen. We highly recommend booking this tour!

I loved the whole day! The pagoda’s are beautiful, the hike was very peaceful but some parts weren’t very easy for some people. When you get to the top, it is al worth it tho! The lunch we had was very delicious, it’s like a buffet and they fill up plates when something runs out. All the other stuff was also very nice. We had a great guide as well, Cat. She made sure everyone was comfortable and had a lot of knowledge.
