“Our tour was amazing, our tour guide Chatsuda was great and explained the history of the temples and was really friendly and answered any questions we had. It was great to experience some traditions at Doi Suthep like listening to the monks chants and doing the candle lighting and flower and food offerings. All 3 temples were stunning and it was breath taking seeing the sunrise at Doi Suthep. The views were spectacular. Everything ran smoothly and was on time, the minivan was comfortable and our driver drove safely and smooth. Would highly recommend this tour, it is definitely worth the early morning alarm!”

I highly recommend this experience for anyone who feels drawn to slowing down, checking in with yourself, learning more about your capabilities, and experiencing some amazing Buddhist history. She will give you the tools to make you a better version of yourself.”

First going to the tempel with sunrise, seeing the monks and after that started the hike. Which was pretty tough with the heat, but I could fully do it on my own tempo, which was really nice. As a reward we had lunch at the most beautiful place there is with a stunning view over the mountains and Chiang Mai! And almost no tourists, which I really liked. Afterwards we took the pick up car back to the starting point which was also an experience…”
