Timeline is incorrect

olivier_v, May 2026
The tour is 5,5 Hours not 10. The time in the Mountains is short and only a guided path. Don’t expect views from the highest point or the Valley below. Its all trees. No time to wander. Time a twin pagodes 40min not 2,5h. Lunchstop is overpriced spicy and Outside. English of the guide could be better. Time at waterfall 20 Min and the Village was staged.

Great Day with a wonderful guide

gswedel, Feb 2026
Doi Inthanon - Great Day- Very Good Guide - Recommend The pick-up location was very busy and confusing as several tours and other organizations were using the same pick-up location. Our instructions were to look for our guide in a green shirt. However, it was a chilly morning, and she had a jacket on and made it more difficult to locate her. Once we got started, our guide Leela was great. She was organized, patient, and had a lot of good information to share. The tour was well paced so there was ample time at each site. Walked to the highest point in Thailand, visited the King and Queen Pagodas. Especially enjoyed visiting the coffee village and the waterfall. The Yod Doi Nature Trail was a lovely walk with great views. Enjoyed lunch spot with good food.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Leela made your Doi Inthanon tour enjoyable with her knowledge, patience, and organization. It’s great that you loved the King and Queen Pagodas, Yod Doi Nature Trail, coffee village, and the waterfall. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Vacation

Nadia_M, May 2025
The trip was an excellent experience. Pictures do not do justice tot he natural and cultural beauty in all the stops of this trip. The guide and the driver were very attentive to all our needs as well as knowledge and the history of the national park. Well worth the time if you are in the area.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for taking the time to give us a 5-star review! We're glad to know that you had a great experience with us.

We were picked up...

Stephanie_S, Mar 2025
We were picked up promptly from one of the meeting points, as our hostel was not in the pick up zone. It was a little confusing as there were other groups gathering there. Tai kept in contact through WhatsApp and we found each other quickly. First, we went to the waterfall, then the highest point in Thailand with a nature walk. After that, we went to the twin Supthas- the grounds and the supthas were beautiful! The story told in each was meaningful. There was an escalator up to each, but not down, so if you have mobility issues you'll want to consider this. We stopped for lunch outside the park gates and had a decent meal at a good price. Finally, we visited the Karen Village and watched them weave, walked through some of the village and has some of their coffee- which was strong and delicious! There were weaving and coffee to purchase to help support the village. It was a nice tour with Tai offering information and history along the way. The van was comfortable and water was offered. My brother and his partner arrived in Chiang Mai a couple of days after us and we recommended they take this tour! My only wish is that Tai would have asked that the guests introduce themselves and where they were visiting from to break the ice. It was a long day and no one spoke to anyone else until lunch, but just a little and then to say goodbye. Other than that- excellent excursion!

Unforgettable day at Don Inthanon

Anju_B, Feb 2025
Don Inthanon is an experience not to be missed if you’re in Chiang Mai, especially if you enjoy being in nature. My 2 sisters and I were picked up from our hotel, right on time, by the ever smiling and helpful Avi. Avi’s calm, gentle, and friendly demeanor eased interactions between nine absolute strangers who found themselves together, and his jokes gave us something to laugh about! Our experience of the wachirathan waterfall and the summit of Doi Inthanon was awe inspiring. The two short trails we walked at the Doi were easy and can be accomplished by most people. You just need to remember to wear suitable shoes. What was extraordinary was the fauna that greeted us in the trails. You could breathe in the fragrant jungle and take in the silence and serenity that only comes in the unspoiled wild. The twin pagodas at the end were also very beautiful. The most interesting part of the tour was visiting a Karen village and experiencing their simple lives. We got introduced to native coffee growers and had a lovely coffee tasting experience! I ended up buying a lot of it! However, the entire trip was made absolutely special by how much care Avi took of each and every passenger, making sure that there were appropriate restroom breaks and helping each of us with our lunch order. By the end of the trip, Avi seemed more like a friend than a guide.

Sandra_B, Nov 2024
Del was very informative not only about the area but also about crops and plants. Took very good care of my friend due to age. He made the day very pleasurable. Doi Inthanon, waterfall and stupas fantastic. The driver was great (sorry can’t remember name), felt very safe with his driving skill.

Beautiful Trip in the Mountains of Chiang Mai

Julia_B, Aug 2024
As a solo traveler, it is wonderful to be able to share the beauty of our planet with others. The guides really make these trips special by making sure even the solo adventurers feel included. This trip was truly magical from the temples, to the gardens and the beautiful waterfall at the end.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Julia, it's heartwarming to hear that our guide's inclusive approach made your solo experience truly special. We're so glad you found the temples, gardens, and waterfall at Doi Inthanon National Park to be magical. Your kind words mean the world to our team!

Good stuff, just pack lunch.

Zhiyu_T, Aug 2024
Our guide Banana was amazing and insanely insightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip however pack your own lunch is my recommendation. They take you to a tourist trap and you over pay for mediocre food. Other than that the driver was extremely efficient and the pacing of the tour felt good and we visited a lot of interesting locations.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Glad to hear that Banana made a lasting impression with his insightful commentary! We appreciate your feedback about the lunch stop and take it to heart to explore better options for our guests. Our team is grateful for your recommendation and looks forward to welcoming you on another tour!

A great experience.

Alexander_F, Jun 2024
We had a fantastic experience with our guide, Nom, who was very accommodating and informative helping us explore Doi Inthanon, local villages, and grand waterfalls. We were also given the opportunity to try and buy delicious local coffee. We are incredibly grateful to the team and would strongly recommend giving them a visit when in Chiang Mai

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Alexander, it's wonderful to hear that Nom's knowledge and care made a lasting impression on your family's day exploring Doi Inthanon's beautiful waterfalls and villages.

Poon is the Man!!

Andrew_B, May 2024
First off, our tour guide Poon made the day awesome. He was so nice and enthusiastic the entire time. He liked to tell stories which provided context to the areas we visited. Pick up and drop off was seamless. We got to: walk beautiful trails, admire Buddhist sculptures, and visit a local village. Poon is the man!!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Fantastic tour

Shinji_N, May 2024
Able to visit main tourist attractions around Doi Inthanon National Park. We tasted several coffee and teas which were grown in the region. Although it was a bit foggy, we saw the stunning views of waterfalls as well as mountains from twin pagodas. Tourguide Nana was so friendly and made us funny.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Great to hear that guide Nana's humor added to your memorable experience on the Doi Inthanon National Park Eco-Friendly Full Day Tour! It's wonderful that you appreciated the variety of local flavors and the breathtaking views of the twin pagodas.

Amazing pagodas

Good value for exploring the Thai countryside!

David_S, Jan 2024
Ott was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide! We were picked up at our hotel on time and given the itinerary, with updates along the way. The tour was a long day in the van but broken up by a great variety of things to see and do. The highlights were visiting the twin pagodas Napamatanee Don and Napaphon Bhumisiri located at the highest point in Thailand and visiting several waterfalls. It was a good value for all that was provided. One recommendation: choose a different location for lunch that offers great and flavorful Thai food.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

David_S, we're so glad you enjoyed the Doi Inthanon National Park Eco-Friendly Full Day Tour with Ott as your guide. Appreciate your honest feedback about lunch - we'll pass it on to Ott and our team to explore new options. Thanks for highlighting the tour's many amazing experiences, from the twin pagodas to the beautiful waterfalls!

A wonderful day trip!

Karam_B, Jan 2024
Jackie was a great host on this trip. We had a fantastic day visiting the sights. Doi Inthanon was fantastic, waterfalls were beautiful, the Karon village was great and the lunch was delicious. This is a great day trip and Jackie made it even better by providing us with interesting information at each location.

Beautiful Thailand experience

Cody_R, Jan 2024
Long but wonderful day. Hotel pickup, followed by a waterfall, then an even better waterfall. Next was a short nature walk to the highest point in Thailand. The last major stop, was the two pagoda temples with amazing views from the mountain. There were a handful of stops at local crafts and food, which is both a cultural experience and a tourist trap, but we were never pressured to buy anything.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Cody, it sounds like our guide's expert knowledge and enthusiastic storytelling brought the Doi Inthanon National Park to life for you, especially at the stunning waterfalls and two pagoda temples. We're glad you appreciated the relaxed pace of the tour and the authentic cultural experiences, including the local crafts and food stops. It's wonderful to hear that our tour allowed you to connect with Thailand's natural beauty and rich heritage.
