Nui and our driver Mr James were exceptional. I booked this tour the day before with my partner, we got a shared tour with another couple and one solo traveller. They picked us up across from Thapae gate. We drove about an hour before a brief rest stop, then onto a beautiful waterfall. The amount of mist and spray coming off was incredible but quite slippery so make sure you wear proper shoes. From there Nui and James took us to a Karen village for Tea and Coffee, which was very tasty. A brief moment to shop some souvenirs if you wished but nothing felt forced at all. We then had a nice lunch before continuing onto the summit. The cloud jungle is breathtaking, moss all over the trees and birds off in the bushes. Traveling back down we arrived at the twin pagodas. Nui provided some very insightful commentary into the Buddhist imagery. The views from here down into the valley below is one of the best landscapes I’ve ever seen. Thankyou to Nui and James for being insightful and funny.

At the end of our trip, we encountered a very heavy rain. However, everything was fine, and I was satisfied with the journey.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tour was honestly one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, funny, and kept everyone entertained from the moment we got on the bus. Even when the weather on the mountain decided to be dramatic 🌧️, the guide somehow still made the day so enjoyable. We joked that we came to see the highest point in Thailand… and the clouds and rain said, “Not today!” 😂 But honestly, it didn’t even matter. The waterfalls, nature, fresh air, and the fun atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Sometimes the best travel memories come from things not going according to plan. The itinerary was well organized, transportation was comfortable, and we never felt rushed. If you’re worried about the weather, don’t be, it changes all the time. Highly recommend this tour! Just pack a light jacket (It gets cold at the top), an umbrella, a sense of humor, and maybe politely ask the weather to take a coffee break. ☁️

The itinerary was well paced and thought through. our guide Andy was humorous, knowledgeable and sincere to bring the tour to life. Been a while since I enjoyed a group tour. Andy also took many beautiful pictures of the trips and of us to share with us after.

Nop was very knowledgeable and made sure our entire experience was comfortable and entertaining. We started with the elephant sanctuary and Nop knew SO much about elephants and their lifestyles. He also took us to Watchirathan falls, Twin Pagoda and Doi inthanon and the view throughout was surreal and Pon made sure he clicked pictures of us too. a must have experience in Chiang Mai. Since nobody else has booked along it was also kind of a private experience.
