      Amazing experience start to finish!

      "We had a wonderful and memorable day with Minty! We started early and were the first to arrive at Sticky Falls - was so nice to have Minty guiding us and she knew just where to lead us to get on the falls first and get the best pictures. She took us to an off-the-beaten path restaurant and it was the best food we’ve had in Thailand, in a beautiful setting. She was full of knowledge, extremly kind and very patient with our kids. We highly recommend Minty for any day trip when in Chiang Mai!!"

      Wthikorn was as great as could be!

      "I booked a private full day tour to Doi Inthanon with Wuthikorn (aka Boy) as the guide for my clients - the husband is age 79 and walks with a cane. Wuthikorn was endlessly patient, assisted my client throughout the tour, he was calm and knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed every part of our tour with Wuthikorn tremendously. Highly recommended. "

      A day with Boy at Doi Inthanon

      "We had a wonderful day with Boy as our guide exploring the National Park. Boy led us through beautiful nature trails with waterfalls. We enjoyed an amazing lunch and coffee experience in the local village of Mae Klang Luang. We ended at the King and Queen Pagodas. Boy led us in a thoughtful knowledgeable way that made our time so memorable. Highly recommend this experience with Boy. "

      Incredible tour with Ratana

      "Ratana took us on a full day personalised tour of Chiang Mai and its temples. She was full of great knowledge that she shared with us but even more importantly she was great company to spend the day with, especially for our family with two boys aged 13 and 11. We especially loved the place she took us for lunch - a place we would never have found on our own! Thanks Ratana and happy songkran! "

      Excellent bicycle tour!

      "If you’re considering a bicycle tour this is the one to book! Ae is a great guide and the tour route she plans is easily attainable for any fitness level with stops along the way for rest, refreshment and lunch. She also provides so much background and history to what you’ll experience along the way. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again myself when I return to Chiang Mai! "

      Doi Inthanon natural park

      "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!"

      I had the best day!

      "This was truly a beautiful tour with an excellent guide. Ae is super kind, welcoming and a great person to explore the surroundings of Chiang Mai. The tour includes several stops and it's great to have Ae as a local by your side. You get to see a side of Chiang Mai and the area which otherwise you probably wouldn't. The ride was perfectly planned, the drive from and back to the hotel also smooth. The lunch spot had the most amazing view and Ae had so much to teach me about the area. Highly recommend this tour, you will love it! Kun Ae, khoob kun ka, tschoog dii ka! "

      Whole day tour of Doi Inthanon with Naphat

      "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. 💚"
