Top Chiang Mai Hiking Tours - page 3

Absolutely loved everything. First of all, Lilly our chef is super fun and she was excellent. Loved her energy and I asked her all kinds of questions when we went to the market because I wanted to buy ingredients to take back home. I had the shrimp option and for stock I picked veggie stock. By the end of the half day we were all already so exhausted so I can’t imagine doing the full day. Highly recommend!

The experience and tour overall was exceptional — we were battling with the weather for some of the day, but it turned out great nonetheless, with breaks appearing throughout the day that ended up creating memorable photo opportunities and experiences. The highlight, however, was our tour guide Tong and his associate “Magic Man”, who was our companion who accompanied and guided us on our hike through the park. I can’t emphasize enough to those that read this that 1) booking private was and is the way to go and 2) requesting Tong and “Magic Man” for your tour is an absolute must. If you don’t do these two things, you’re doing this tour all wrong and probably missing out. Keep in mind the weather obviously when you go — hard to control those factors and there is a chance that during the time of the year you go you may get a lot of rain and fog or haze. Having said that, even with the weather, Tong made educated decisions and adjusted the order we did things in a way that made the best possible sense with the unpredictability of the weather so that we could still get a complete and perfect tour. Highly recommend the tour, and highly recommend the two of them even more.

This trip was one of the highlights of our time in Thailand. Our guide, Pam, was incredible — thoughtful, knowledgeable, and such a pleasant person to lead the tour. We learned and experienced so much throughout the day. One of the biggest highlights was the walk through the jungle and visiting the small village. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
