First Trip to Thailand - I really thought this was a great expereince. The guide picked me up from the hotel early. The locations visited were all great, I felt there was enough time at each location to explore and see it. Definitely reccomend if visiting Chiang Mai.

Another people’s way of life - Meeting the villagers. It was right out of story u hear a bout. But they r no different than u or I. And our guide really did paint a very good picture of what their life was all about. Truly memorable.

Reflection - It's quite tiring, but I thought it was cool to visit these places, especially the "giraffe women". Sometimes we complain about our lives, but walking around with that heavy thing around our neck in such heat... makes us reflect!

nice tour - We liked the tour everything was good organised, hotel pickup worked great! white temple was super busy but beautiful. blue temple was very beautiful as well, with delicious blue icecream. We didn’t like the black house & karen village thaaat much. long neck village was just a market with them trying to sell you stuff, felt like a zoo. wouldn’t really recommend that part it’s also quite a lot for ticket with not too much to see.
our guide oaki was super good and funny he made it a great day! thank you again!
