- Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - This is one of the most significant and stunning temples in northern Thailand, situated near the summit of Doi Suthep (Mount Suthep). Established in 1373 with the construction of the first Chedi, it serves as a revered place of worship. It holds great importance as a pilgrimage destination for the faithful and is a sacred site for many Thai people. Visitors can ascend the 306-step staircase or opt for a cable car ride to reach the pagoda.
- Wat Pha Lat - While many visitors aim for the top of Doi Suthep to see the golden chedi of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, they often overlook another treasure located partway up the mountain. Although the temple building itself may not be particularly striking, the enchanting temple grounds boast a waterfall, forest trails, and breathtaking views of the city.

Private Doi Suthep and Palad Temple tours - We booked a private tour for The Doi Suthep and Palad Temples in Chiang Mai with AP Good Travel via Trip Advisor. Our private guide, Noom, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Chiang Mai, Buddhism and the influences of other religions on the region, architecture and culture. Having a private guide was the perfect way to get a customized experience for this tour. Noom taught us how to honor the Buddha and get blessed by a monk at Doi Suthep. That was a very special experience. I highly recommend Noom as a private tour guide!

Great tour guide and experience! - Found this great tour company through my hotel concierge. I had struggled finding private tour companies that would take a solo traveler out believe it or not. Nui was fantastic and the driver Tom was safe and careful.
Because he had also been a Buddhist monk, Nui absolutely knew so much about the religion and even helped me get blessed by a monk which was a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone wishing a more tailored, personal experience. English was fantastic and we also visited a jade factory.

All questions answered. 😁 - Tobi was a really good host. We had a really great time with him. He would answer all the questions we had, and the experience was really good. He explains all the points. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be asking for him for other tours as well.

Private temple tour in Chiang Mai - Gobi was great and very knowledgeable giving us all the details of the history and meaning of temples and Chiang Mai with so much patience. Definitely worth it to do this tour while in Chiang Mai. The tour is on a very comfortable van with plenty of cold water and AC.

What fun and beauty - The tours offered by all good travel are great and can be adjusted as desired.
We took this half day but also added the Hmong tribe.
Gobi helps you meet people because he has a natural empathy.
And the minivan is nice with water on demand.

Great Experience in Chiang Mai - The half day tour was very efficient and informative. Gobi, our guide, was the perfect host. He supplied a plethora of information and insight. He is a true professional! We visited the two temples and never felt rushed. He explained everything succinctly with lots of sidebars and anecdotes. The tour never dragged, and we felt we truly experience a piece of Thailand’s culture.

Good experience - Our second trip with guide Nui from AP Travel. Again we were picked up from our hotel this time on a half day tour to Doi Suthep and Palad temples. Very interesting trip made more so by Nui’s knowledge. We asked at the end of the trip if we could be dropped off in the old town of Chiang Mai instead of the hotel and Nui was happy to oblige. Fond memories of our visits to Chaing Mai and our guide Nui both trips were a reasonable price too for a private tour.
