Experience Day Trips in 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. "

"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!"

"We had a beautiful day with Minty. She took us first to the sticky waterfalls and helped us navigate the best areas to stay on avoiding the most difficult and slippery areas. She took many photos and videos for us which was so helpful. Next she suggested we do bamboo rafting which was a relaxing ride where we saw elephants. Finally she took us to a great restaurant for lunch where we had a wonderful meal. Minty was safe, informative and very professional. "

"I booked a day trip to Chiang Rai with Naphat for me and my Mom. I knew the temples would be awe-inspiring but the experience we had spending the day with Naphat was so much more than that. Naphat enlightened us with her deep knowledge of Buddhism and the teachings of the Buddha, as well as the history of Thailand. We toured the White Temple, Blue Temple, Baan Dan Museum, and Huay Pla Kang. At Huay Pla Kang we were so lucky that the abbot was there and we got to give a donation and receive a prayer from him. Naphat was accommodating and helped me find a vegan restaurant for lunch in Chiang Rai. I highly recommend Naphat if you are interested in connection, conversation and learning more about the spiritual aspects of Buddhism. "

"We had a wonderful tour with Ratana! We really appreciated the extra care she took in bringing us to quaint local areas around Chiang Mai. In our 8 hour tour, we covered all the bases we were hoping to, with an added bonus of the best Thai Tea, a delicious bowl of Khao Soi and a lots of beautiful temples. Thank you Ratana! "

"after visiting so many Temples in Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, we booked the visit to Doi Inthanon to get outside the city and see something different. Naphat was an informative guide, and made the day fun and interesting. From the views at the top of the mountain, the pleasant walk in the forest, the information provided at the pagodas, the chosen lunch stop, and the visit to the coffee growing village, it was a nice break from all the city tours. Definitely worth booking if you are looking for something different."

"We had a lot of fun and a wonderful day with Ratana in Chiang Rai. First, we stopped at a hot spring and had coffee. Then we visited the White and Blue Temples and also had some coconut ice cream. Ratana gave us lots of information about the temples, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai. It was a great day. We would definitely book another tour with Ratana."
