Ae is the best guide no matter what tour
"We did two tours with Ae. The first one was a food tour around Chiang Mai and we had a ball. Ae is so knowledgeable and personable at the same time. She makes everything fun and we ate so much! The next tour we did with her was a bike ride through the countryside and we actually went through her hometown and because she knew I love coffee so much, she took us to her favorite coffee shop and then we went to the roaster to see how the coffee was roasted. she’s great at tailoring things and finding cool things for one to look at. And she always make sure we have enough to eat and drink! On the bike ride through the country, I was bitten by a dog which is a real fluke and she was quick to take out her first aid kit and put iodine on it and then we all went to the emergency room which was a great experience and she took care of everything. We can’t wait to return to Chiang Mai and when we do we will definitely use her again for any tour. "

Local experience with a foodie!
"Kamutnadda (“Eddie”) took my best friend and I on a fantastic food tour in Chiang Mai! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great historical context while making it feel like a local experience and skillfully avoiding tourist crowds/traps. The timing was well thought out; allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. He was also super flexible regarding food allergy accommodations and provided creative alternatives so we could each experience the best of Chiang Mai’s cuisine. I highly recommend booking with Eddie for anyone looking for an authentic and well-curated food tour - including the best fried chicken you’ll ever have!"

Great Intro to Chiang Mai!
"We did the private Night Market and Street Food tour with Purichat during our visit to Chiang Mai and it was a truly fascinating introduction to Northern Thai food! We had a larger group of seven people with varying degrees of adventurousness when it came to food and Purichat did a great job balancing all of the food selections taking us to taste more familiar dishes like Pad Thai as well as new dishes like Khanom chin nam ngiao ( a noodle soup made from fermented bean paste and chicken blood). We also had requests from a couple people in the group to do some shopping which she made sure to include in the tour, taking us to a local market to pick up some things and also sample a few Thai snacks. If you have a free evening in Chiang Mai I would highly recommend this tour with Purichat!"

"We have booked the Street Food Tour with May on the evening ans every second was worth it! May is very passionated about food and super funny. There was never a weird atmosphere and she showed us a lot of dishes apart from Pad Thai we would never have tried as a tourist. We would recommend this tour 100%! Thank you again May for this special evening ☺️ Pro tip: Don't eat anything else this day and also don't plan for breakfast the next morning. Thank you!! "

Don’t hesitate, just book it.
"This was our favorite tour that we’ve done. We’re both foodies and we would have NEVER in a million years found the places we ate, or tried the foods that we tried without May. She’s a true professional and very fun to be around. If you are an adventurous eater and want to experience truly what the locals eat, book this trip. Thanks May! We’ll keep spreading the love all the way from Reno NV. "

A truly authentic experience
"Naphat was very welcoming and attentive. She was easy to adapt to our desires and preferences, while at the same time very attentive to our experience that made her adapt the tour to our taste. She taught us how to enhance every single bite of various Thai dishes just as the locals do. We had a wonderful thorough conversation about the food and the cultural influences on Thai food We visited a couple of night markets and one of them was clearly where only the locals go which made it very special for us.
