Poldenná prehliadka Doi Suthep a dediny Hmongov

Poldenná prehliadka je dobrá, nie príliš dlhá a nie únavná. Sprievodkyňa Mee je skvelá, profesionálna a vie dobre hovoriť oboma jazykmi, anglicky aj mandarínsky. Vyzdvihnutie v hoteli a flexibilné vysadenie na mieste po ceste. Posledná zastávka, chrám vysoko v horách, výstup po 300 schodoch bol dobrým cvičením a ponúkal fantastický výhľad na mesto Chiang Mai.

excellent tour, the guide was extremely nice and shared a lot of historic and cultural knowledge about the places visited. I got to try tradicional clothes from village people (it was around 60 baht) remember to bring cash if you want to try the locals food, coffee and wine. there's a lot of hand made stuff you can buy also. there's ATM but only in one place.

Zmiešaná skupina prevažne Angličanov a niekoľkých Ázijcov ako my, sprievodca dokázal vysvetliť a podeliť sa o históriu miesta v jednoduchej mandarínčine, pomohol mojej mame s problémami s pohyblivosťou dostať sa eskalátorom k chrámu Suthep. Polhodinová prehliadka sa nám páčila. Spokojní.

Mám ešte jednu zastávku. Navštívime dva chrámy a jednu dedinu. Wat Phalet je 700 rokov starý chrám a pagoda vyzerá veľmi starobyle. V dedine kmeňov Hill Tribes som videl veľa domorodých ľudí v tradičných odevoch. A dal som mladej sestre svoju maratónsku medailu ako darček.

Anglický sprievodca, pán Chai, podrobne vysvetlil históriu a kultúru Doi Suthep, bolo dosť času na prehliadku, pol dňa nebolo uponáhľaných, veľmi dobré. Na spiatočnej ceste nás mohol odviezť na iné miesto v starom meste, ale bolo potrebné to oznámiť vopred, čo bolo veľmi flexibilné, nemusel nás odviezť späť do hotela.

Visiting to doi suthep is a must when travelling to chiang mai. Tour guide was good speaking in english sharing the history of doi suthep the beautiful temple. Hmong village is decent having the chance to see how village tribe live and selling their items. We also had the chance to try on many wine before purchasing back home!.

A just-OK tour. Kind of disappointed that the tour guide did not give much information about the places we visited but just dropped us here and there, then told us when we would meet again for the bus. The transfer service was nice though. The panoramic view to overlook Chiang Mai city at the temple could be even more amazing if the weather was better. The visit to the tribe was dull yet humble. In general, if you have abundant time to explore Chiang Mai, and you have seen the sites in old city or done many other outdoor adventures, then this tour could be a choice. Otherwise, this tour is just a way to kill your time.

The temple is beautiful but again with these places in Thailand they are swarming with tourists, so it can be hard to get the perfect picture. The journey up is on a winding mountain road so it can feel a bit queezy. The hmong village has a beautiful garden, which our guide bizarrely told us not to visit as its not the season for the flowers. However, ignore this and go visit and pay the extra w0 baht for the lovely views.

The tour itself was good - clean car, tour guide was good and safe and even provided umbrellas. The village was quite boring IMO, you are shepparded through a marketplace (walking up a mountain!!!) and end at a museum you need to pay to enter, then you’re left to your own devices. People with mobility issues would struggle with this tour given the village portion which was not an easy walk up a mountain!

value for money and time versus getting your own songtheaws along the way. it was a nice temple. time at hmong village was too short in my opinion as there were 2 flower gardens and a strawberry farm.
