‘Boy’ is very interesting and friendly guide who has a passion for his town
The walk was done at a nice pace and also with a Thai tea and snack along the way
Ladies should take a cover for shoulders in temples , not a problem if not got one as they do hire for a very small fee"

Ae is the best guide no matter what tour
"We did two tours with Ae. The first one was a food tour around Chiang Mai and we had a ball. Ae is so knowledgeable and personable at the same time. She makes everything fun and we ate so much! The next tour we did with her was a bike ride through the countryside and we actually went through her hometown and because she knew I love coffee so much, she took us to her favorite coffee shop and then we went to the roaster to see how the coffee was roasted. she’s great at tailoring things and finding cool things for one to look at. And she always make sure we have enough to eat and drink! On the bike ride through the country, I was bitten by a dog which is a real fluke and she was quick to take out her first aid kit and put iodine on it and then we all went to the emergency room which was a great experience and she took care of everything. We can’t wait to return to Chiang Mai and when we do we will definitely use her again for any tour. "

Local experience with a foodie!
"Kamutnadda (“Eddie”) took my best friend and I on a fantastic food tour in Chiang Mai! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great historical context while making it feel like a local experience and skillfully avoiding tourist crowds/traps. The timing was well thought out; allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. He was also super flexible regarding food allergy accommodations and provided creative alternatives so we could each experience the best of Chiang Mai’s cuisine. I highly recommend booking with Eddie for anyone looking for an authentic and well-curated food tour - including the best fried chicken you’ll ever have!"

Very nice&educational trip to Doi Inthanon
"I booked and took a day trip to Doi Inthanon with Naphat. This excursion made a huge impression on me historically, scenically and spiritually. Naphat is a very experienced and versatile trained tour guide with a flair for captivating people. The in-depth conversations and detailed explanations of the various places visited far exceeded my expectations. Among other things, I was able to experience first-hand insights into coexistence in a mountain village.
This and the explanations about Buddhism in everyday life touched me very much and I am very grateful to Naphat for that. I can highly recommend Naphat to anyone looking for something more than just landscape images."

Exciting excursion with Naphat
"This day trip to Chiang Rai with a visit to the White Temple, the Blue Temple, the museum and the delicious lunch (not included in the tour) was overwhelmingly beautiful for me. Thanks to Naphat's very competent guidance, I was able to learn a lot about the temples, Buddhism and the culture. Naphat listened to me and took my individual interests into account and adapted the tour to them. Naphat is very pleasant to deal with and I had the feeling of being taken seriously throughout the day trip. Thanks also go to the driver, who drove very carefully and got us safely through the day.
I will always be happy to book Naphat for trips like this again.
Thank you very much for the wonderful experiences."

Great Intro to Chiang Mai!
"We did the private Night Market and Street Food tour with Purichat during our visit to Chiang Mai and it was a truly fascinating introduction to Northern Thai food! We had a larger group of seven people with varying degrees of adventurousness when it came to food and Purichat did a great job balancing all of the food selections taking us to taste more familiar dishes like Pad Thai as well as new dishes like Khanom chin nam ngiao ( a noodle soup made from fermented bean paste and chicken blood). We also had requests from a couple people in the group to do some shopping which she made sure to include in the tour, taking us to a local market to pick up some things and also sample a few Thai snacks. If you have a free evening in Chiang Mai I would highly recommend this tour with Purichat!"

Fun food tasting experience in Chiang Mai
"Tanya took me to some great spots based on my tastes that I would not have found otherwise. I enjoyed all of the tastings and the market tour at the end was a lot of fun. All in all, it was a great introduction to the food of Chiang Mai."
"Purichat ["May"] was a wonderful and enthusiastic tour guide. She presented us with a variety of activity options to choose from and took us to see and do the things that interested us the most. May's also a great driver and very knowledgeable and flexible guide. We really appreciated the history of Thailand she shared with us as well as how the country was formed both geologically and politically. We chose the hike that goes along a rushing river filled with water falls and went through rice paddies and a Karen Hill Tribe village. It was a memorable hike and a memorable day, and while we noticed other guides were hurrying their groups along and limiting the time they could spend taking pictures, May let us go at our own pace and take as many photos as we wanted. I highly recommend her as a guide!"
