Experience the best of
Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"We had a wonderful day with Kit. We immediately had a good connection and talked a lot about different things in life, from food creations to personal development. Kit was a monk for several years, and it was inspiring to hear about all his knowledge and experiences. The tour started at the Mae Ya Waterfall, which was amazing to see. After that, we did a jungle hike together with a guide from the hill tribe village. After the hike, we got to taste hill tribe coffee. It was a very nice hike and a great experience to surround yourself with so many beautiful plants and trees, and the sounds of nature. Then we had a very good lunch and went to see the pagodas. It was a fully guided day, and we want to thank Kit for this experience. We definitely did not want to miss this!"

"Had a lovely day on a private tour outside of Chiang Mai with Ratana. She was punctual, professional and her car was very comfortable. Her wide and in-depth knowledge of the area and sites was great. A real pleasure. "

"Naphat took us to the Doi Inthanon National Park and gave us so much more than a tour. She is knowledgeable, calm and quietly inspiring. Between waterfalls, forests and pagodas, she shared gentle life insights that has genuinely stayed with us. Her best advice was simple. When someone bothers you, just let it go. We left feeling peaceful, grateful and very glad we met her. The farm-to-cup village coffee micro-roastery was an experience we will never forget. Highly recommended. 💚"

"Our time with Naphat was fascinating and we valued her passionate explanations of her world. The cultural sights were intertwined with her experiences in Buddhism and we learned a great deal while enjoying our time together."

"Thanks to Napath, we discovered Chiang Mai from different perspectives, off the beaten path. Napath, a former Buddhist nun, introduced us to the philosophy of Buddha. Visiting the temples was not only a source of information about Buddhism and discoveries about the rich history of this kingdom, but also a time for more personal philosophical exchanges. In her company, hours seemed to fly by."

"We had an incredible time with Naphat. We went to 2 markets and had 5 dishes between the two of us, all of them were incredible. She did an excellent job at explaining each dish to us, how to eat it the “Thai” way so we enjoy all the flavors, and even a bit about the history of Thailand and the people. We got to know her on a personal level which really elevated our experience. We’ve even texted after the food tour with recommendations. We feel like we now have a local friend in Chiang Mai that we can text/hang out with when we come back again! Would definitely recommend Naphat for your tour!!!"

"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. "
