Ms Renny was pleasant to talk to and understanding of our group requests. she was able to keep our group moving on time to finish off planned program on time. despite her first time doing tour in chiang mai, she was quite dedicated to her group. nice photography skills also. well done!

I first went to the store in Niman District and liked it very much. I immediately ordered another store in Gucheng District. The styles of the two restaurants are different, but both the reception staff and the master are very gentle. Both times, we were matched with a chef who spoke a little bit of Chinese.

The trip to Buatong Waterfall, Araksa Tea Garden and Sirkit Botanical garden went very well. As expected the driver didn’t speak English and instead he communication went through google translate. In the botanical garden he gave good advice how long to stop and the two main places

The staff made me feel relaxed from the very beginning. I like the massage techniques of the masseur very much. Several sore points were soothed. At the end of the 90 minutes, I felt that it was not enough. I wanted to go back to the masseur for an essential oil massage.

There are no photos of the ancient city. I paid 100 baht for an aunt to take them with my personal mobile phone. They are generally good. The photographer is also very good at guiding the movements and introducing Chiang Mai culture. I received 443 photos but there is no number. The first one is. Reply to ask, but haven’t received a reply yet

Feeling pampered❤️Tesla came to the hotel to pick me up. The girl at the counter was also very beautiful and kind. The masseur’s strength was just right for me. It was my first time to experience Thai herbal ball massage. It was very comfortable and I liked it. The environment was also very classic and beautiful. It’s a great experience 🥰
