      Techno Eddie made our hols unforgettable

      "Eddie (Kamutnadda) made our Chiang Mai experience unforgettable. He literally couldn’t do enough for us offering us as much time as we needed with extra add-ons and new experiences to suit the needs of our family. He knew the best places, the times when they were less crowded and stuff that other tourists would miss out on. He suggested great restaurants too! His English was perfect. On top of all this he’s a massive techno guy had the best camera equipment/ go pro etc and took amazing posed and candid shots of our adventures meaning that we could just sit back relax and enjoy the experience without having to take our own photos. You then downloaded everything he’d taken to our camera before we left. The photos you took are such good quality and really capture our amazing Chiang Mai adventure. Thanks Eddie! "

      Superb Hiddem Gems Day

      "We had a wonderful day with Eddie. It was our wish to go out into the nature and also get some cultural input. Eddie brought us to a real Hiddem Gem, a temple in the mountains with a tradional pottery. Later the day we visited a tradional Lanna Temple and went to a coffee plantation. No other tourists anywhere around, authentic Thai life. Eddie was super friendly and felt always responsible to fully match our wishes. "

      Wonderful day with Richard!

      "Richard was absolutely amazing. I was by myself exploring Chiang Mai and I booked Richard for a local tour. I had no specific itinerary in mind and completely left it to Richard to plan the day which he did flawlessly. From temple visits, historical implications to finding the perfect vegan restaurant for a meal and shopping stops for natural oils and soaps and perfumes, Richard made sure I had a wonderful day. I mentioned I might like to get a massage at the end of the day and he went ahead and booked an appointment at the best place in town and just had a wonderful time. No language barriers either as Richard speaks perfect English too! Highly recommend him for your bookings."

      She made our day

      " We really enjoyed being with Uthaiwan and listening to the stories she told tell us. We did an evening around Chiangmai city with her. Her knowledge allows the program to adapts to your own interests, She is such a lovely person and there’s something about her that makes people at ease. It was really a pleasure being introduced to Chiangmai by her and our family I will remember Chiangmai along with her smile 😊"

      Our day in Chiang Mai

      "Mae picked us up from our hotel. The previous day she swapped our pick up to make it more convenient for us. She took us to several sites in the old town then we headed off to a local beauty spot for lunch. Mae looked after us so well and was very knowledgeable about the local area, people, customs and history. She dropped us back at a different destination which helped us tremendously. We can absolutely recommend Mae if you are looking for an excellent friendly guide "
