Wat Phra That Doi Suthep tours

Since it was my first time in Chiang Mai, I couldn't miss Doi Suthep Temple, so I joined a Klook tour. I was very relieved that I could confirm the detailed schedule by email from the time I made the reservation until the day of the tour. On the day of the tour, the guide, who was fluent in English, Chinese, and Thai, was very considerate of us Japanese and kindly explained everything in easy English. I really enjoyed the tour.

The evening departure was a great arrangement, as the weather was much cooler, and we were able to visit two temples in the suburbs, which was very worthwhile. Although it rained lightly that day, our guide, Ms. DADA, was very dedicated and provided clear explanations. Overall, this is a worthwhile tour to join. However, the only confusing aspect was the inconsistent language information: the search page indicated a "Chinese-speaking guide," but when clicking into the activity page, it stated "English/Thai-speaking guide," and the tour was indeed conducted in English. I believe this should be more clearly indicated, otherwise, with many similar tours in the search results, it's difficult to distinguish between them.

Because it rained for the entire 3-hour hike that day, pay extra attention to the trail conditions. However, regarding sections requiring hands and feet, I think children over 10 years old could also climb it if the weather is better. The guide will pay attention to the trail conditions along the way and clear obstacles in advance. The scenery is beautiful. If you want to spend half a day experiencing Chiang Mai's nature, it is highly recommended. We left the city at around 9:30 am and returned to the city at 3:30 pm. During that time, we first visited Doi Suthep Temple, then started the 3-hour hike, and finally ended at a cozy cafe with coffee and food. After resting for an hour, we drove back. It is recommended to bring mosquito repellent, a change of clothes, enough water, and a raincoat.

The tour guide New is super professional and cute. He introduces a lot of knowledge and origins of Suthep Temple. The Miao Village recommends walking to the top of the mountain to drink coffee, but you have to pass a very ordinary and small museum along the way.

Our tour guide Long Le is very fluent in Chinese, has detailed explanations, and has warm and thoughtful service. We were picked up on time in the morning and went to Mount Doi Suthep to visit Doi Suthep Temple and overlook the city of Chiang Mai. Then we went down the mountain to visit Chiang Mai University, where we saw newlyweds taking wedding photos and local children coming out to sketch. Afterwards, we went to the nearby No. 39 Cafe for a rest and meal. There were a lot of people, so luckily we found outdoor seating. It is very pleasant to listen to the singer play and sing. The last stop is Chedi Luang Temple, which is a must-see when coming to Chiang Mai. It is very spectacular. The whole trip is relaxing and comfortable, especially suitable for bringing children and the elderly together. Special thanks to our tour guide, who finally took us to the market to buy food. We searched for it ourselves for a long time but couldn't find it. Very satisfied. The old man was very happy.

The half-day tour was incredibly satisfying.The guide was kind and fun, and taught us a lot about Chiang Mai.I participated alone, and there were no extra charges, which was great.

I should have booked this together, but I ended up booking separately because I missed the option to select a tour guide during my first booking. As mentioned in my other review, the car was neat and clean, and it smelled really good. The driver, Thor and tour guide Jackie were so nice and polite. We noticed that the driver already sounds fluent in English, more fluent than the tour guide. But we're lucky to have both of them guide us during the tour. We did a customised tour because we only want to visit a few attractions and mainly wanna take it easy. We stayed at Mon Jam for a night, so they drove us there and picked us up the following day. It was a hassle-free and relaxing trip, indeed. Thanks!

Tour guide Huang was very attentive in explaining the history of Doi Suthep Temple and Chiang Mai University to enhance his knowledge. The top floor of the temple offers a distant view of Chiang Mai, and many tourists take photos. The university has beautiful scenery, and there are many places for shopping. Since it is close to the Loy Krathong Festival, there are many places for shopping on campus.
