Jing Jai Market Chiang Mai mga tour

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!

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.

Napakabait ng aming gabay mula simula hanggang dulo at mahusay siyang nagpaliwanag sa wikang Ingles! Maraming salamat sa maagang pagsisikap, at dahil ang araw ng aming pagbisita ay isang natatanging okasyon sa Thailand, naging napakagandang karanasan ito!

Napakabait ng driver at maaasahan ang buong biyahe. Ang Sticky Waterfalls ay nasa isang forest park sa hilagang Thailand, at ang mga bato ng talon ay kulay abo-puti na may bahagyang asul, napakahiwaga! Malamig ang tubig, at habang umaakyat ka, maaari kang makipag-ugnayan nang malapitan sa kalikasan!

This was the only tour available when I booked the day before, so I chose it. However, it turned out to be much better than I expected, and I'm glad I picked this one over other tours. The meeting time is very early, which makes the morning a bit challenging, but because of that, the temples and hiking trails were less crowded, allowing for a stress-free experience. Unfortunately, it was cloudy this time, so we couldn't see the sunrise. Our guide was also very thorough and made the experience enjoyable. I'm very grateful. We arrived back at the hotel before 9 AM, which meant we had the rest of the day to enjoy, making it very efficient. I highly recommend this tour.

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.

Ang kalahating araw na tour ay maganda, hindi masyadong mahaba at hindi nakakapagod. Ang aming guide, si Mee, ay mahusay, propesyonal at nakakapagsalita nang maayos sa parehong wika, Ingles at Mandarin. Sinundo kami sa hotel at naging flexible sa paghatid sa amin sa isang lokasyon sa daan. Ang huling hinto, isang templo sa tuktok ng bundok, ang pag-akyat sa 300 hagdan ay isang magandang ehersisyo at may kamangha-manghang tanawin ng lungsod ng Chiang Mai.

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.
