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

Perfect way to explore the Doi Inthanon nationalpark at your own pace. Visiting the peak, king / queen pagoda having lunch and coffee at the nice Mae Klang village and finishing with the Wachirathan Waterfall

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

The location is a little remote, in the hotel, comfortable environment, massage is normally comfortable, but an hour is slightly less, not very good value for money
