Prehliadky Jing Jai Market Chiang Mai

We had a group size of 8 with people from 3 different countries! Our guide shared some history of Chiang Mai and of the 2 temples we were visiting. Duration was just right and thankful for the transportation to and from hotel!

More than a sunrise tour, this half day was truly meaningful, and our guide James was the highlight! We started by buying food to give dana (alms) at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, passing the statue of the monk who raised funds to build the mountain road. James used to be a monk, so he explained the Buddha's story, the temple murals and the meaning of the pillar decorations. The sunrise was stunning, with the whole city below as James shared each temple's story. Wat Pha Lat is a peaceful hidden gem. Through his connections with the monks, James gave us real insight into monastic life and the meaning behind the nagas, tigers and deities. Our favourite was Wat Umong. We tried local instruments and drinks at a small event and explored the meditation tunnels a king built for a revered monk (with cute bats inside!). It felt like visiting historic Lanna temples with an actual monk by your side. Highly recommended, and James is the best guide!

Vodič bol veľmi milý a celá cesta bola spoľahlivá. Lepkavý vodopád sa nachádza v lesnom parku na severe Thajska, a kamene vodopádu sú sivobiele s modrastým nádychom, čo je úžasné! Voda je chladivá a pri výstupe si môžete užiť blízky kontakt s prírodou!

The trip was well organized. Songthaew for pick-up, guided tour, it has an actual tour guide who knows the best spots and history of the historical Lanna Kingdom leading to this Doi Suthep we now know.

I made good use of the free time in the evening for sightseeing. The duration was just right, not too long and not too short. It was very convenient that after the tour, I could be dropped off at a dinner location instead of being taken back to the hotel. The guide was also very kind and provided clear explanations, which was excellent.

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.

Vybral som si tento zájazd, pretože to bol jediný, ktorý som si mohol rezervovať deň vopred. Bol som však rád, že som sa zúčastnil práve tohto zájazdu a nie iného, pretože jeho obsah bol lepší, než som si predstavoval. Čas stretnutia bol veľmi skorý, takže ráno to bolo náročné, ale vďaka tomu bolo v chrámoch a na túrach menej ľudí a mohli sme si ich užiť bez stresu. Tentoraz bolo bohužiaľ zamračené, takže sme nevideli východ slnka. Sprievodca nám tiež veľmi podrobne vysvetlil všetko, takže sme si to užili. Som mu veľmi vďačný. Do hotela sme dorazili pred 9. hodinou, takže sme si mohli užiť zvyšok dňa už od rána, čo bolo veľmi efektívne. Myslím, že je to odporúčaný zájazd.

A waterfall well worth visiting. Since I was the only passenger that day, it felt like I had chartered a private vehicle to the waterfall. The driver was extremely friendly and brought his grandchildren along, making it feel just like going on a fun trip to the waterfall with their family—a very heartwarming experience. The timing of our arrival was just right; right after we finished enjoying the waterfall, it started to rain, adding a refreshing coolness to the return trip. Definitely a well-deserved five-star review, highly recommended.

Thanks for our tour guide, Immy. She is full of the knowledge of the history and temple related. And she is also patient to any of my questions. The temples are very beautiful and walking in this area is let me feel peace. Above all, this is a excellent tour for who wants to know more about history of Chiangmai.
