Bhuping Palace tours

Our driver, Mr Nat is professional and take good care of us. He always arrive an hour early before our departing time and greet us with a big big smile on his face. =)

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.

We went to Doi Suthep night tour.We went to Wat Umang and Doi Suthep.Da-da our tour guide was very jolly,playful and informative.Our pick up was on time and the journey was smooth.She was attentive and explained the history of each temples to us in detail.

Nuttaya was absolutely the best guide. Never rushed us in exploring three different temples, was very informative, and super kind. I met her on a different tour but she offered to peel some longgan for me. If you are with her please please ASK RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS TO BRING BACK HOME. She is amazing. Tour starts early (pitch dark) but it is so beautiful. Let Nuttaya take your photos — literally the best guide a solo female traveler could have.

I got one more stop. We visit two temples, and a Village. Wat Phalet is a 700years old temple, and the pagoda seems very ancient. In Hill Tribes Village, I saw a lot of aboriginal people dress. And I give a young sister my Marathon Medal for gift.

It was a REAL adventure!! Firstly, be aware that this tour is definitely NOT for everyone, especially for those who rarely exercise. However, for travelers who used to do casual hiking and biking (not necessarily mountain biking), and hope to have some adventures outside of Chiang Mai old town, don't hesitate, you will like this tour! Nice natural sceneries, meals both before and after the hike/ride, and friendly guides!:)

Pros: - patient, enthusiastic, informative, and hardworking tour guide - comfortable van with AC - timely pick up and drop off from our hotel - tour felt like the perfect length, not too long or short - 3 stops which are all so beautiful on their own - food is provided by the tour to offer to the monks Cons: - if you’re prone to motion sickness, take meds beforehand!

I wanted to visit both Doi Suthep and Wat Pha Lat, and this tour package was perfect. From the meeting point to the drop-off in Old Town, everything was smooth. Thanks to the 'Tom and Jerry' duo, the trip was effortless and fun. The guide, Tom, was kind and shared interesting stories, making the tour even more enjoyable. ​The timing was spot on—visiting Wat Pha Lat just before sunset and staying at Doi Suthep from dusk until night allowed us to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. Highly recommended!
