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.

Nammiiz was a great guide and very good with keeping up communication. We had information from her beforehand about our hotel pickup and she made sure to keep us on track all day and to let us know when we needed to be back at each meet up site. We had a mixed group and she spoke two languages seamlessly with different members of our group! Doi Inthanon is a beautiful experience, but unfortunately the smoky season made it hard to see any scenery at the top. Would recommend visiting in another season.

So much fun!! Natalie was so knowledge and made the experience delightful. I would advise that you only have a light breakfast, because we are a lot. The Smile organic farm is a well run machine and it seems that they have thought of everything. We liked seeing the ingredients in the farm before we cooked. Natalie made sure our food would turn out good by being clear and assertive in a way that made us all laugh. The food was delicious, but unfortunately we were too full to finish the food.

Beautiful views at Doi Inthanon, spectacular waterfalls, and amazing history/overview of the lanna kingdom and historical forest. Jane was an awesome tour guide who gave us great background on the tribes, lanna kingdom, Doi inthanon, and culture. 10/10!

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.

Traveled with my adult son. Koko was our guide/driver and was fabulous. Picked us up at our hotel in old city. There were 4 of us total on tour. There were two elephants at the sanctuary. Expected more but it worked out fine. We hiked with the elephants, fed them, played in mud with them, and then went into the river with them to bath them. Bring water shoes and change of clothes if you are planning on going into water…which you should plan on, it was the best part. Water is about waist deep. Keep your mouth closed so you don’t swallow any! They served us lunch. Highlight of our stay in Chiang Mai. Highly recommend.

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!
