Experience Day Trips in Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"My family of four just experienced a superb all day tour experience guided by Naphat through Doi Inthanat, a suburb of Chiang Mai. Naphat was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, making our tour in a comfortable roomy van very pleasant. We saw a gorgeous waterfall along a short easy hike, visited an indigenous village where she had the world’s best coffee (true!) picked from their small backyard and roasted manually in an antique-looking drum roaster. Of course we bought some to take home. We had yummy lunch with the locals! It was a fun immersive experience! Of course, let me add that Naphat’s calm and compassionate demeanor (being a real former Buddhist nun!) made our journey even more memorable! It was an experience of a lifetime especially for me as we were able to have interesting Buddhism-related discussions! She also meditates daily following various traditions and was able to give me some valuable tips for me to try. I highly recommend!!"

"What’s the best way to experience real Thai countryside? Bike through rice fields, villages and craftsman with your guide Ae. We did a trip this afternoon and enjoyed an incredible slice of Thai life outside of Chiang Mai. Ae was a wonderful guide and really knowledgeable. It was amazing finding all these quiet lanes and roads to steer your way through the beautiful scenery and people. "

"What a great day exploring the out skirts of Chiang Mai and seeing authentic Thai village life. Meeting local people, seeing community businesses and riding through rice fields - what a real treat. The bikes means so much more is accessible than going by car. Thank you Ae for such an amazing day! "

"We had a lovely day with Naphat...filled with so many different experiences. We truly felt worlds away from Chiang Mai. I especially loved stopping at the market to experience all the local farmers' goods. I wish I would have stocked up on more things! My only piece of advice is that the long drive to and from the pagodas is very windy and while I'm not usually prone to carsickness, this ride was tough even for me. I would recommend taking something just in case beforehand. Naphat and our driver were very accommodating though, and we stopped along the way. This is a tour worth checking out if you want to see culture Thai outside of the city. We learned a lot about history and politics. Naphat was a great guide!"

"Boy was a great guide for us through the national park. We enjoyed learning about the area, he’s an excellent photographer, his car is super comfortable and nice and he’s very generous to supply us with snacks and drinks during the day. His was by far the best tour we had in Thailand. "

"Great historical tour. Eddie assured we covered as many sights as possible. Tour lasted 12 hrs and covered over 200 miles."

"We had a full day with Wuthikorn going from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. First of all, it is clear he has invested in making his guests comfortable. His car was incredibly roomy and comfortable, with excellent climate control in the front and back. He took us to a number of sights, but worked with us to ensure we saw what we wanted to see. He knew the schedule and closing times of various places so we managed to see everything in a packed day! He also had us take a break from the drive at a local hot spring where we got to soak our feet. He took a number of pictures of us on the trip, ensuring my husband and I had great photos of the two of us. And his history and knowledge of the locations helped so much! We didn't just want to see places without understanding what we were looking at, and he was able to tell us the history, the Buddhist meanings and traditions, and educated us on every site. He was engaging and very knowledgeable. We actually booked 3 tours with him because of how good he was!"
