the elephant experience was amazing . it was raining on and off the whole day so I was concerned about the activities we’d do but even if it rains, eveything was still operating as usual. there was a group of 18 and there was plenty of time for each of us to get individual pictures with the elephants . staff there are friendly and offer to take pictures for you and your group. buffet style lunch offered and will accommodate if you have food restrictions

The driver's driving was stable and punctual, and the Guanyin Temple he took us to was a pleasant surprise. Choosing a chartered car is still cost-effective. TTD's service is good.

This was an amazing experience! If you come to Chiang Mai this is a must do! The whole experience was wonderful! It was so well organized, the staff were so, so kind, attentive and just on the ball, the food was absolutely delicious and they refilled it every time you finished something! The dancers, the live band, the program and the experience as a whole was just unforgettable! I am so grateful I had the chance to experience this, after experiencing so much of the land and the other activities it was so nice to touch base and experience Thai culture in this way! I 100000000% recommend the Khantoke Dinner Experience to you and I'm so excited for those who will experience this for the first time!

It was late at night when we arrived. I had asked customer service in advance to confirm if late check-in was possible. It's very close to the airport. Although the hotel had a bit of a musty smell, it was acceptable!!! There's a free instant noodle and snack area!!! Very awesome. It's also quite quiet. It's relatively close to the Nimman area. There's also a good massage shop next door and a 7-Eleven downstairs~ Highly recommended.

Vim is the best guide! Thanks to spending my first day in Chiang Mai with Vim, I was able to understand the history, culture, and lifestyle of Chiang Mai well, which made my subsequent schedule even richer. At first glance, the itinerary may seem simple (Three Kings Monument - Wat Phra Singh - Wat Chedi Luang), but this route contains so many stories that broaden your knowledge of Chiang Mai. You can tell when you listen to Vim's explanation! There's a reason why they say you see as much as you know. Vim not only has a wealth of knowledge but is also a kind and excellent photographer. Thanks to him, I was able to create wonderful memories. Highly recommend! I just regret not being able to participate in Vim's other tours because I didn't have time. If you go to Chiang Mai, don't miss Vim's tour!

Booking with Klook is more cost-effective than paying on-site! And the confirmation was very quick. Since I was going to the airport late at night, I chose the hot essential oil package, which also includes a shower. The environment is very comfortable and clean, and the masseuse's technique is very strong! I would definitely come again next time.
