Chiang Mai: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep at Wat Pha Lat Evening Tour

Wat Pha Lat is the most serene jungle temple, the fact that the plants have been allowed to encroach on the structures only adds to the sense of gentle decay. Even though an overcast sky meant the usual glorious late afternoon light was absent, arriving at the temple as dusk approached only made it more atmospheric. The gilded stupa and umbrellas of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep were impressive from the outset, but it was only when dusk fell and the lights were turned on that it became evident why we were there at that particular time. Magical! The view over the city is spectacular as well, both before and after dark. Our guide Danny was personable, friendly and informative, and gave us time to wander at will, and our driver got us from place to place quickly and efficiently. Minor criticisms are that as a solo traveller, I needed to book and pay for two people; also it was not clear from the activity description that a hotel pickup was possible, rather than meeting at the tour office.

Gusto kong bisitahin ang parehong Doi Suthep at Wat Pha Lat, at ang tour package na ito ay perpekto. Mula sa meeting point hanggang sa drop-off sa Old Town, lahat ay naging maayos. Salamat sa 'Tom and Jerry' duo, ang biyahe ay naging madali at masaya. Ang guide, si Tom, ay mabait at nagbahagi ng mga nakakatuwang kwento, na nagbigay pa ng saya sa tour. Ang timing ay sakto—ang pagbisita sa Wat Pha Lat bago mag-sunset at ang pananatili sa Doi Suthep mula dapit-hapon hanggang gabi ay nagbigay sa amin ng pagkakataong i-enjoy ang tanawin nang lubos. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

This is a great tour and highly recommend. From the first friendly greeting from our guide at the meet point, we felt welcome. We were driven to the temples in a comfortable van with our guide explaining the outline of the evening. When we arrived at the temples, he explained their history in excellent English. We would have missed much of their meaning if we had been on our own. We engaged in some activities which were fun and really made the trip special. If you are thinking of a tour of these mountain temples, choose this one.

We had a wonderful experience with this tour. Our guide was Danny who explained the history very Nicely. Helped us with photography as well. Both the Temples were so beautiful. it was worth it and more.

Napakagandang karanasan. Ipinaliwanag sa amin ng aming gabay na si Tom ang mga pangunahing kaalaman ng Budismo. Sarado ang Wat Pha Lat dahil sa meditasyon, kaya binisita namin ang Wat Umong.

Napakaganda. Masipag magpaliwanag ang guide. Ako lang ang nag-book kaya nag-sorry ako at nagpasalamat na mag-isa akong sumakay sa malaking sasakyan. Tatlong buwan pa lang daw siyang nagga-guide, pero hindi ko maalala ang pangalan niya. Medyo mapanganib at mausok ang daan pababa kaya medyo nakakatakot. Pagkatapos, ibinaba niya ako sa palengke malapit sa hotel.

Nakakita na ako ng dose-dosenang tour guide sa iba't ibang bansa sa pamamagitan ng Klook, MyRealTrip, at iba pa, ngunit wala pang nakapagpaliwanag nang may ganoong sigasig tulad ni Art. Dalawang linggo na ako sa Chiang Mai, at hindi pa ako nakarinig ng anumang impormasyon tungkol sa mga templo ng Thailand o sa Myanmar, ngunit sa tour na ito, naunawaan ko ang kasaysayan ng Thailand at Budismo dahil sa mahusay na paliwanag ni Art. Sa tingin ko, malaki ang maitutulong ng mga paliwanag ni Art sa aking mga susunod na paglalakbay sa Thailand. Masigasig din siyang kumuha ng mga litrato, at nakipag-ugnayan siya nang walang kahirapan kahit na limitado ang aking Ingles. Kung mayroon pang ibang tour, gusto ko ulit siyang makasama bilang guide. Lubos na inirerekomenda!

Great experience as this tour tries to avoid the really busy periods of the day. You get rewarding views of the sunset and the city lights. Guide also helped us understand the chanting ceremony taking place during our visit.

다 좋은데 완전히 어두워지기 전에 일정이 끝나는게 아쉽네요 30분정도만 뒤에 끝나도 완벽할거같아요

Wir hatten Phonphon als unseren Tourguide, der sich alle Mühe gegeben hat, dass es allen gut geht. Er hat uns tolle Blickwinkel gezeigt, und war jederzeit zur Stelle, um Fotos mit uns zu machen oder etwas zur Geschichte der Tempel zu erklären. Unsere Reisegruppe war mit 6 Persone zufällig recht klein, so dass natürlich mehr Zeit für jeden individuell blieb. Die Tour selber startete pünktlich, alles wirkte professionell und wir hatten einen tollen Nachmittag.
