Chiang Mai with Withlocals

"Kit was a wonderful storyteller. My group of 3 friends had an amazing experience exploring the temples in the mountains and getting to observe the monks. Kit provided us offerings for the temples and offerings for the monks. The sunrise tour was so serene and peaceful, definitely recommend if you enjoy a calm environment. Kit answered all our questions about Thai history, Buddhism , and monk life, drawing from his own experiences in the monk hood. Kit was very accommodating providing us with an air conditioned vehicle and water and picking us up from where we were staying. He was also an awesome photographer for us, we never had to ask he was always offering. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience!!"

"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! "

"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! "

"Fabulous tour with Kit. He is an absolute delight to be with and his knowledge and experience of Buddhism is outstanding. To experience the Monks rituals before the crowds arrived was an experience to be treasured. Sunrise was beautiful and to also visit the enchanting woodland temple was an honour. Kit is very easy to chat to and answers all questions expertly. Amazing tour that we would recommend if you want a deeper insight in to the lives of the monks."

"Our sunrise tour with Kit is a major highlight of my trip to Thailand. Great communication with Kit prior to the tour. He was punctual and so knowledgeable. He made our trip to the temples, monk morning alms and hike to waterfalls fantastic. So many great conversation throughout our time with Kit. Highly recommend this tour with Kit."

"Our guide, Kit, was knowledgeable, patient and very kind. We had a wonderful time on our early morning temple tour and we learned a lot. It was absolutely worth it!"

"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! "

"Ae was an INCREDIBLE guide. We had the best time cycling around the countryside with her - with multiple well-timed stops i including delicious coconut icecream, lunch, and coffee (plus impromptu meet and greet with ostriches!) We felt very safe and well looked after all throughout the tour. Thanks so much for a priceless experience, Ae! :) If you are thinking about booking this, please do it (coming from someone who did a LOT of research to figure out the best way to spend her time in CM)! "

"The morning we spent with Kit was truly amazing! We loved every bit of it. He was so patient, knowledgeable, thoughtful and informative. We learned so much about Buddhism and the history of Chiang Mai (and some of its many temples). While we didn’t get a sensational sunrise view, it was a truly wonderful experience. Visiting the forest temple is still probably by favorite part of my entire 2.5 week trip! What a magical place to get the opportunity to experience. Thank you, Kit, for a truly remarkable adventure! I would encourage anyone to spend time with him! 😊🙏🏻 "
