A Fun-filled day - Great day with Ronnie and Mr Aom (excellent driver). The sticky waterfalls were fantastic and completely doable (go in the morning to avoid crowds). The Buo Tang Cave was a peaceful stop, and the Golden Pagoda was worth a viewing, and the view of Chiang Mai city was panoramic. Ronnie was engaging and helpful, and took many photos.

Amazing guide and happy elephants - My husband and I booked Pon directly on their website and chose the Elephant, waterfall tour. Amy at Pon was a great, considerate and funny guide, giving us background of the places we go to and shared her personal stories. We got picked up right at our hotel. We really enjoyed the waterfall and spending time with the elephants. Before we book, we made sure it's a ethical one, and are pleased to find the elephants so enjoying themselves and are well taken care of. We also really appreciate that Amy helped us take our photos (and tried the best to get good ones!) and took care of our dietary needs as vegans.

Amazing tour - This was an amazing way to see Doi Sutep and visit the sticky waterfalls. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit these two places. Our tour guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and could speak English well. We liked being able to go at our own pace and appreciated being able to change our lunch destination which was one of our favorite places to eat! Thank you for the memorable experience.

Team YaYa - Team YaYa. Visiting this sanctuary was so much fun. The elephants all seem so happy and interacting with them was amazing. But, the best part of my trip was our tour leader Yaya. She was amazing.

V good. - Temple experience was great. Meh to the sticky falls. Crowded and too touristy overall, not really worth the long trip to get there.
