Experience the best of Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"We booked two tours with Wuthikorn, a city trip and Doi Inthanon. He was a perfect host, took great care of us and made us feel welcome in his city. He‘s a careful driver, knows how to beat the crowds to make your journey as comfortable as possible, shares stories and facts without overloading and makes the most of the time without rushing, perfect balance of teaching and giving you the freedom to have your own personal experience. Thank you, Wuthikorn, you created wonderful memories for us (and thank you for teaching us how to use the camera on our phones :) ), we made a new friend in Chiang Mai. "

"Wow, definitely recommend this tour if you are keen to discover the amazing variety of food on offer in Chiang Mai, warning … make sure to not eat anything before as you will try A LOT of food! We had discovered the city with May earlier and having chatted about the food we wished to try and some of the legendary food spots we had seen on social Media she had planned the perfect food tour, She expertly ferried us around in her car which also gave us a chance to see Chiang Mai at night. May took us to an amazing back street restaurant that specialises in Northern Thai dishes and showed us what to put with each dish and how to eat it. At my request we had stewed pork from the cowboy hat lady, clay pot cooked pork and chicken at Nengs and sweet treats at a night market of course finishing off with mango sticky rice. The most amazing evening. May was a delight to be with. If you love food and are adventurous definitely book this tour. "

"We met May for the tour on our first morning in fabulous Chiang Mai. She was an absolute delight to be with. The tour was very well structured and we not only saw the main highlights of Chiang Mai but also areas we would not have found. Being exceptionally hot she ensured we found shady areas and were hydrated and also found us nice rest rooms to use. She bought food items to try and had recommendations of where to go on other days. We made offerings at the temples and she ensured that we learned the correct etiquette. It was a fascinating insight. This is a fabulous way to see Chiang Mai and I cannot recommend May and ‘with locals’ highly enough. We also booked a street food tour with May for the same evening and let her know places we wished to try so that she could plan an itinerary. Amazing day"

"Boy (nickname) was an excellent tour guide through the mountains and villages of Doi Inthanon National Park. He made access through checkpoints efficient. Boy’s story telling and knowledge of Lanna history in ChiangMai was delightful as well as the respectful tales he told of the mountain village community. The coffee spots and hikes were greatly curated and guided. "

"Boy was so great to work with in planning a day tour to Doi Inthanon National Park. He was very communicative from the start when I shared what sites we really wanted to see since it’s impossible to see everything in the park in a day. We first hiked the Pha Dok Siao Nature Trail and a local guide who belongs to the Indigenous community in the park accompanied us. We got to learn a lot about the local flora and fauna and Boy took some amazing pictures of me and my Mom along the trail. We then had a coffee presentation where we tried local coffee made in the park a cascara tea (coffee shells), butterfly pea tea and another local herbal tea. We had an amazing lunch made from fresh ingredients grown in a garden in the park. Then the second half of our day was the Ang Ka Nature Trail (so magical!) and the highest point in Thailand as well as the Twin Pagodas and ending with the Wachirathan Waterfall. Thank you Boy for an amazing day in the park! We really enjoyed our time."

"Discovering the national park and local villages was very interesting, with a variety of viewpoints and cultural immersion, including the highest peak in Thailand. The temples we went to were impressive as well. What stood out most was connection I had with Nephat. We come from completely different worlds, yet fully resonated in both mind and spirit. It was the perfect fusion of East meets the West! She is an in depth spirit guide as well, connected to source, symbology, ancient Buddhist ways of life and perspective, with the ability to integrate all of this into modern day society. This was our common ground. Therefore, on an intellectual and spiritual level it was an exceptional day! I consider Naphat a part of my extended tribe now! "

"We booked a day trip in Chiang Mai with Naphat, and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip. What we experienced went far beyond anything we could have expected. While we saw some beautiful sights, the true value of the day was the deep insight Naphat provided into the daily lives of the local people, the rich history of the region, and the current situation in Thailand. Naphat didn’t just show us places; she shared stories and perspectives that you simply won't find in any guidebook. Most importantly, my daughter and I were able to form a genuine, personal connection with her. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and warm-hearted. We felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend rather than a guide. This day was a truly special experience that both of us will cherish in our memories for a long time. If you are looking for an authentic, deep, and personal experience in Chiang Mai, we cannot recommend Naphat highly enough!"

"My tour with Naphat was unforgettable. She reached out to me in advance to find out what I wanted to see and do as she was interested in finding out exactly what my goals were. She made my day with her knowledge of Buddhism and the temples in the inner city. She also gave me amazing insider knowledge of the ancient city that you can’t get from anyone who isn’t a local. Thank you Naphat was an amazing experience!"

"Ae was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about Chiang Mai. We walked, tuktuk through Chiang Mai. And we tasted anything I saw that I wanted to try which is a super bonus thing to do! Thank you "

"I had fun checking out the night markets with Naphat. She knows just the right spot to take you. The food was amazing and conversation stimulating!!! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!"
