  We spent 2 days in Chiang May with Austin on a private tour. The team at Pagoda kept us up to date from the moment we booked the tour, even sending us a reminder the day before. ☺️ Our guide, Austin, picked us up from the airport and we began our tour of Chiang Mai, heading to the orchid farm for lunch. We had two ‘grumpy’ children with us who declared that they wanted to go to the hotel and had no interest in sightseeing. Let’s just say, after lunch, we headed to the elephant sanctuary and had an amazing time. The two ‘grumpy’ kids were instantly transformed. We had an amazing day feeding elephants, and riding elephants (of course Mommy’s heart was in her mouth the whole time watching the kids, in addition to bathing the elephants. At the end of the afternoon, the children declared it was the highlight of their trip to Thailand. The second day continued on a high note. We ended our last day with a visit to the night market, Austin patiently accompanying us throughout the visit and then to end of our Thailand experience we journeyed back to our hotel on a Tuk Tuk (again to the delight of the 2 children). I want to thank Austin for his flexibility, despite having a fixed itinerary he allowed us to switch it up and also added recommendations based on our interested. As a person with a finance background, I can not fail to add something on how value for money this 2-day excursion was. I will definitely recommend Pagoda to friends and family visiting Chiang Mai

  Ann was so kind and knowledgeable. She showed us all the important temples and took us to a fabulous and authentic lunch spot. She was very flexible when our youngest daughter was sick and needed to be dropped off back at the hotel. Would definitely recommend.

  We loved our gracious and knowledgeable guide May! She showed us four temples (colloquially known as “blue”, “white”, “red”, and “rainbow”) and found the best times to go to them when it wasn’t crowded. She read our mood and was very flexible about letting us take our time at each and take photographs. She added a few other side trips too and a tasty lunch. It was a very enjoyable day trip. The driver picked us up from the Laos border on the Thailand side after a boat cruise and drove us all the way to Chiang Mai on the second day.

  Had such an amazing time on my tour to all of the beautiful temples of Chiang Mai. Jackie was incredible and very respectful. I feel that I lucked out getting to spend the day w him. He even went out of his way to take me to the Jade Orchid Factory so that I could pick up some gifts for my family back home. Thank you for an amazing tour Jackie!

  My tour guide May was very nice, polite and knowledgeable. He also took me to a delicious vegan restaurant. I had a great time!

  Our tour guide was very soft spoken answering all questions patiently and communicated the significance of each temple we visited. Strongly recommend Yut our guide for future visitors. One suggestion is to reduce package price or include couple more places to the package for the same price.

  We were in Chiang Mai for a week and did this tour on our second day. It was very nice to have a private driver who was very knowledgable and kind. These temples are outside the city which would have been difficult to visit outside of a tour. We also visited temples on our own later in the trip and the experience was nothing like having a local guide.

  My husband and I booked this private Tour and were not disappointed. Our guide, Puma, was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke English very well. She adjusted to our pace and what we wanted to see. Overall, an excellent, informative experience.

  ドーイス・テープといえば、チェンマイを代 表する観光ポイント。市街を一望するステー プ山の中腹に厳然たる存在感を誇っています 。一方、ワット・ウモーンは林の中の閑静な 古刹。境内には瞑想を学ぶ宿泊施設もあり、 洞窟の中の仏像たちがあくまでも静かに何か を語りかけてきます。
