Best Early Morning Tour in Chiang Mai - Our guide Sam and our driver did an amazing job at making this trip/tour memorable. We captured pre dawn images as well as sunrise / early morning shots, then back to our hotel for a relaxing breakfast and nap. It’s best to do the early morning tours so you can capture the best light and there are fewer crowds.

Amazing tour with James!! - Had a great experience with James, him and the driver were both very friendly and welcoming. His guidance was educational and entertaining. The views at the top of Doi Suthep were beautiful despite not being able to see the sunset due to the clouds/fog.

Peaceful, informative tour - We did this tour with our guide Boon, and it was a brilliant way to spend a morning. Despite the early start and cloudy weather, it was so interesting and informative learning about the temples, Buddhism and history in some very peaceful and beautiful areas. Brilliant tour.

Special experience - This was a very special experience getting to witness the sunrise over Chiang Mai and participate in the monk's morning rituals. James was an amazing guide! As an ex-monk his passion and enthusiasm for the tour really came through and he had a lot of insight into the experience. Would highly recommend to anyone.
