Thank you so much Bim! You really love what you do and thank you for all the awesome information. She also takes very nice photos and the tour went smoothly. Chiang Mai City is indeed a big museum and not just only a historical landmark. Highly recommended! Please book Bim as your guide.

The soundproofing is not very good, the sound of slippers walking is noisy and the guests outside are talking loudly, but the massage master's technique is good and the service attitude is also great!
