A fantastic trip - Despite the slightly rainy and foggy weather, we had a fantastic day. Our guide, Mr. Pae, was professional in introducing us to the local culture and leading us to discover the beauty of nature. The driver provided a safe trip despite the cloudy weather. The Kew Mae Pan Trail is a must-visit place for anyone who is coming to Chiang Mai. During the trek, we saw various plants and heard the chirping of birds, which made the experience even more awesome. A total immersion in nature and a peaceful experience for the mind. (BTW, the lunch was sooooo good!)

An amazing trip to the national park - Amazing tour taking you out of the city into the national park in the mountains for a trek through the forests and along the ridge of the mountain giving views over the Himalayan mountains, absolutely stunning. The trip to the beautiful twin pagodas with the beautiful gardens and the local coffee farm and the most amazing little coffee shop were also truly amazing. Our guide M was great and very informative. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was lovely, everything was grown on the surrounding farms. The waterfall was also spectacular. Well worth doing if you are in Chiang Mai.

Good experience and nice tour guide - Our tour guide is M Prayut who is nice and friendly, speaks good English and very knowledgeable. Not only did we know more abt the spot we visited but we also know a lot more abt Chiang Mai, Lanna history and Thai local cultures. He takes very good pictures for us too, and super detailed minded. We were running a bit late for our lunch and he called the restaurant and had our meal prepared in advance. Definitely save us from starving. Would surely recommend all to pick M Prayut as their tour guide.

The absolute highlight of our Chiang Mai visit - We really can't say enough good things about this trip. Our guide, Toi, was one of the most knowledgeable, well-spoken and kindest guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He provided a wealth of local knowledge and interesting contextual information as he thoughtfully guided us and looked after us all day. We were taken for a great photo opportunity at the start of the tour at Thailand's highest point, and then started the nature trail. It was tough going at times for our two small children but Toi was kind and supportive, taking breaks whenever we needed them and even providing a little bit of first aid and a quick snack :) He and the local guide helped us spot a range of wildlife, insects, interesting botanicals, and edible berries and flowers, which made the spectacular hike even more interesting and rewarding. After the trail, we went for a wonderful home-cooked lunch at the Loyalty Project sustainable farm and restaurant, a beautiful place, and then on to a tribal village where we enjoyed hand-ground coffee and learned about the more traditional way of life among the locals. We finished up at a roaring waterfall and then snoozed on the comfortable bus ride home. At all times we felt safe and all our needs were perfectly attended to. All in all an unforgettable trip, thank you Toi and Mr Li!

« Trek with Ek » in Doi Inthanon - My wife and I had a full day trip to Doi Inthanon, with the exceptional « Ek » that was guiding us. Ek was full of energy, very funny, and giving us our space at the same time. We had the pick up from the hotel in Chiang Mai, then a 2 hours trek to the summit of Doi Inthanon, followed by a lunch, tasting of local coffee in a farm, and finishing with waterfalls. Thank you Ek for this memorable journey!

Unforgettable leg of our journey - To preface this review, I should start with saying I'm writing it while still on the road heading back to town on the tour. Wan was absolutely your best tour guide. He integrated stories of his childhood and life into interesting tid bits and anecdotes that made each spot that much more memorable. He was considerate and kind and full of jokes and joy. If I could book more tours with him as my guide I absolutely would. As for the tour itself, the title does not do it justice. The hike was not very easy but manageable. I had tons of camera equipment with me and am a hefty fella and could manage it with the short breaks we made. The views were spectacular. Once you reach the initial peak the entire atmosphere changes and you are overlooking a dynamic and beautiful vista with rolling fog and clouds. Very pretty. He then took us to the highest point in Thailand which was nice. After that we went to a vibrant market with very nice people and delicious goods. We bought some nuts :) After that we stopped for lunch which we were not expecting to be as lovely as it was! It was home cooked style in a very nice rural setting. We then went through that village where we ate and were able to take in amazing sights of the rice paddies. Next he got us some delicious coffee which was so good we actually bought a bag. It was hand made from start to finish. Finally we went to the waterfall which was just fantastic. You can feel the spray of the waterfall as soon as you get out of the car. Very nice finish to a lovely day. The tour lasted longer than expected but was well worth every minute of time spent. Please consider this tour!

Friendly people, good food - like Bangkok with great weather - Our tour guide Ms. Nou from NN ChiangMai travel was like a Mom for our group. Took care of every detail - found us the best deals when we went shopping, guided us to the best market/street food, took photos for us and was really knowledgeable about the geography, history and culture.Even found us an instant guide when we wanted to do a longer hike! The hills are alive ... spectacular waterfalls everywhere, magical forests, hill tribe villages, coffee, tea, fresh fruits. Can't wait to retire here.

skip this - You can skip this spot as this is mostly enjoyed by locals. Nothing very majestic just highlands with some waterfalls and temple.
