Unfortunately the weather was really bad, but the tour guide did a very good job of taking care of everyone.
Our guide was friendly and very professional. The day is long but engaging with local discovery. Remember to bring warm clothes and a change of clothes in case of rain...
Our guide Nami was quite organized and informative. We got to spend the right amount of time at each site. It was nice that they gave us an option to skip the pagodas on a rainy foggy summit and get our money back on that portion. Everything worked well.
I had an excellent day with the lovely people I met and Billy the tour guide a true gentleman and very funny, lunch was exceptional, Billys knowledge was fantastic, I have remained friends with a couple of the other travellers I have met through whats app and plan on meeting up again for more trips through the same company, it was truthfully a beautiful day relaxed not rushed and enjoyable good humour and very respectful of Thai culture, history and Buddhism, The story of Doi Inthanon and the small temple is a beautiful story Pat from Australia Gday to all the people I spent the day with and Thank you for a great day
The trip was interesting however it was spoilt by the front seat of the van having very little leg room and we weren’t able to put our feet under a seat in front, as it was blocked off. Considering it was a long drive to and from the National Park, this should gave been taken into consideration, especially when the guide said that there had yo be three people. This did not allow for any leg or foot movement, and really distracted from the day.
A really good tour. Our tour guide was friendly well spoken and funny. Good value. Nice vehicle. Worth the money
The pickup and transport were perfect. The weather did not cooperate, and we barely had visibility throughout the tour; in fact, the walking tour was canceled.
I felt like the tour was all over the place, there were many stops like 8 but none seemed spectacular. The park was not what I expected. There was no suggestions about what to bring (umbrella, warm coat, tissue for all washrooms) and I felt unprepared. Not what I hoped for.
The trip was average in terms of the value for money, the transportation, the guide and the program. We unfortunately had really bad weather which of course can't be helped but I think the company could have adjusted the program so that we weren't all hanging around waiting for ages cold and wet. By the end of it we were all happy to skip the last part and just go back to Chiang Rai.
Our tour guide was great. Amazing National park, waterfalls and food. Seeing how the community work together to help each other. Thankyou for an unforgetable experience. Lush bushland and green folage. The mist and cooler temp was a nice change. We would highly reccomend this tour. Thankyou so much. Kylie and Dan, Australia.
