Passeios por Doi Suthep

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

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.

Because it rained for the entire 3-hour hike that day, the trail conditions required extra attention. However, for sections requiring hands and feet, I believe children over 10 years old could also hike if the weather were better. Along the way, the guide will monitor the trail conditions and clear obstacles in advance. The scenery is beautiful. If you want to spend half a day experiencing Chiang Mai's nature, this is highly recommended. We left the city around 9:30 AM and returned around 3:30 PM. During this time, we first visited Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, then began the 3-hour hike, and finally ended at a cozy cafe with coffee and food. After an hour of rest, we drove back. It is recommended to bring mosquito repellent, a change of clothes, sufficient water, and a raincoat.

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!:)
