Passeios por Bhuping Palace

Our guide, New, was incredibly professional and charming. She shared a wealth of knowledge and history about Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. For the Hmong village, I recommend walking to the mountaintop for coffee, but you'll have to pass through a very ordinary and small museum along the way.

Our driver, Mr. Nat, is professional and took great care of us. He always arrived an hour early before our departure time and greeted us with a big smile on his face. :)

I have one more stop. We will visit two temples and a village. Wat Phalet is a 700-year-old temple, and its pagoda appears very ancient. In Hill Tribes Village, I saw many aboriginal people dressed in traditional attire. I also gave a young girl my Marathon Medal as a gift.

Pros: - Guia turístico paciente, entusiasmado, informativo e trabalhador - Van confortável com ar condicionado - Recolha e entrega pontuais no nosso hotel - A excursão pareceu ter a duração perfeita, nem muito longa nem muito curta - 3 paragens que são todas tão bonitas por si só - A comida é fornecida pela excursão para oferecer aos monges Contras: - Se tiver tendência para enjoo de movimento, tome medicação antes!

Nuttaya was absolutely the best guide. She never rushed us while exploring three different temples, was very informative, and super kind. I met her on a different tour, but she offered to peel some longan for me. If you are with her, please, please ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE BEST SOUVENIRS TO BRING BACK HOME. She is amazing. The 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.

It was an excellent experience. Our guide Tom explained the basics of Buddhism to us. Wat Pha Lat was closed due to meditation, so we visited Wat Umong.

It is an amazing tour. The guide picked up on time at the hotel. She also explained everything nicely. During my visit there was a full moon festive so it was very crowded. After all, it is trulyrecommended for those who want to visit and enjoy the beauty of Chiang Mai temples

I had a fun and fulfilling day. I was told I was the second Japanese person to join this tour. In the morning, Somya, the cooking class instructor, picked me up at the hotel, and we headed to the market. At the market, I learned about ingredients commonly used in Thai cuisine. It seemed possible to buy breakfast there too. Upon arriving at Casa de Mango, I was offered welcome tea. I was given a tour of the garden, where I put herbs, spices, and vegetables into a basket. For the cooking class, some menu items could be chosen, and when I mentioned I wasn't used to spicy food, they adjusted the menu for me. I cooked five dishes in a hygienic environment and enjoyed eating them while chatting with other tour participants and Somya. Water and after-meal coffee were also provided. If I couldn't finish the food, I could take it home. After lunch, napping in the garden hammock was incredibly pleasant. The Elephant Sanctuary felt like a place where elephants could live as freely as possible. First, I was given a change of clothes to put on in the restroom. After hearing about the elephants present and important precautions (don't stand directly behind an elephant, don't stand in front of an elephant's face when it's eating corn stalks, don't forcibly touch its face, how to give snacks, older elephants are more accustomed than younger ones, etc.), each person took a bag of snacks (sugarcane) and moved to the riverside area. We gave snacks following the mahout's instructions. They also took photos and videos for us. Afterward, we followed the mahout to give snacks to elephants in the forest area and observed them. We took a break and received cold water. Then, we helped bathe the elephants (optional, depending on the elephant's mood). Finally, Khao Soi, watermelon, and pineapple were prepared (self-serve style, take as much as you want). What to bring: insect repellent, a jacket (the transfer van is air-conditioned), sandals and a towel (if you want to help bathe the elephants).
