Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We read the guide LLP reviews beforehand and believed that Boy would be the best fit for a half-day walking tour around Chiang Mai — and this turned out to be absolutely true. Boy was engaging, interesting, and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. The tour gave us a real feel for Chiang Mai and its culture, helped by the fact that we explored the area on foot at a relaxed, gentle pace — more of an amble than a walk, and not strenuous at all. We visited several smaller local temples as well as the main central temple at Wat Chedi Luang, along with key landmarks including the Three Kings Monument, Wat Inthakhin Sadue, and Wat Tung Yu. Along the way, Boy shared fascinating insights and stories that brought the city to life. The tour also included a stop at a local market for refreshments, which was a lovely touch and added to the authentic experience. We came away feeling happy, informed, and genuinely connected to Chiang Mai. We would highly recommend Boy to anyone looking for an insightful, well-paced, and enjoyable half-day tour of the city. "
"Ratana was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, and just generally a lot of fun. "
"We had an absolutely brilliant "Highlights & Hidden Gems of Chiang Mai" tour with Wuthikorn. He is incredibly warm, welcoming, and gentle and his knowledge of the city and its history is truly impressive. If you, like us, love temples, their stories, and fascinating insights into Buddhism, this tour is definitely for you. We also “discovered” markets, tiny alleyways, and charming little corners of Chiang Mai we never would have found on our own. We tasted delicious local specialties and enjoyed every moment of the experience. We highly recommend exploring Chiang Mai with Wuthikorn!"

"“We had a wonderful sightseeing tour of Chiang Mai with Naphat. She brought a spiritual and personal dimension to the day, inviting us to see the city from a different perspective. She showed us her Chiang Mai—its Wats, local markets, small shops, and delicious food—and shared her genuine passion for the city throughout. A truly enriching experience.”"
"If you’re looking for an open-minded, empathetic and truly professional guide, you’ll find all of that in her. People often say that the first personal meeting is what matters most — and when you meet her, just like we did, you’ll feel as if you’ve found a friend you didn’t know you were missing. She is warm-hearted, knowledgeable, and full of compassion. We were incredibly grateful to spend the day with her. She shaped the tour perfectly around our interests, and no matter how many questions we had, she answered every single one with patience and deep insight. If you want to create unforgettable and beautiful memories, we truly recommend booking a tour with her before her calendar fills up. All the excellent reviews she receives speak for themselves. We wish you a wonderful trip and a good life. Naphat, we wish you a joyful life 😊 Warm regards, Qui & Neeke from Germany"
"We had 3 tours with Wuthikorn booked and I'm so glad we did! This was a walking tour of the old town, and he took us to see a number of temples and hidden gems. We had seen a few showy temples at the edges of the city, but Wuthikorn took us to the historic ones which we found much more interesting and indeed, much more impressive! I cannot say enough good things about the tour and all we learned about Buddhism, the history of the city, and the traditions we were witnessing. If you have the chance, book a tour with him!"
"Slowly walking through the city with Naphat’s guidance was a beautiful introduction to Thailand’s culture center. Not only did I get a more authentic view of life in Chiang Mai, I also received spiritual transmissions from Naphat. She has spent much time studying and living spiritual practices. Time with her helped me remember key lessons in presence, acceptance, self inquiry, and equanimity. I am writing this review on the last day of a two week trip visiting Thailand. I took many tours - through caves, the jungle, in elephant sanctuaries, and hot springs. All of them were beautiful memories, but I took deep lessons from my time with Naphat. If you want a spiritually rich experience while visiting Thailand, join one of Naphat’s tours. You will learn so much! ✨"
"We had a fantastic walking tour of Chiang Mai with Ae and highly recommend her. She began by giving us a clear and helpful overview of the Old City—its 1-square-mile layout, historic gates, and the symbolism behind its shape. She also explained the history of the moat, originally built as protection from fire. Ae guided us through back alleyways, local snack markets (treating us to a few samples), and helped us enjoy our first tuk tuk ride between Nimman and the Old City. We visited several temples, including Wat Phra Singh, Viharn Lai Kham, Wat Phan On, and more. She taught us proper temple etiquette, including the significance of bowing three times, and shared interesting cultural details like how lantern colors align with the day of one’s birth. One meaningful stop was the Mae Kha Canal area, where Ae explained recent flooding and the government’s revitalization efforts. The tour included refreshments at Naree Café, a unique spot run by incarcerated women, and a quick walkthrough of Warorot Market before our tuk tuk back to Nimman. Ae was knowledgeable, engaging, and thoughtful throughout the tour. She made the city easy to understand and appreciate. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an insightful introduction to Chiang Mai."
"Naphat has wonderful knowledge of the area and cultural intricacies. Shes very welcoming and accommodating and adjusted the tour to my personal interests"
"First time traveling to Chiang Mai and Wuthikorn was the best person to have guide me when arriving. He was very informative and passionate about the culture and history of Chiang Mai and recommended a ton of more things to do for my stay here. 10/10 would book again. "
