Our tour guide, Song (and sing who followed him around most of the day) was a legend! He had so much knowledge that it made this day all the more enjoyable! Forever will cherish this memory!!

Elephants were so beautiful, as was the setting they are in! Mr Song is a great guide, really helpful and informative, and so nice to see the elephants properly cared for!

I loved my trek up Doi Suthep mountain with Kui. He took me to see a small hidden temple at the start of my trek which was fun. The hike itself was not too difficult. It was just longer than I thought. Especially while going downhill as the going was slippery with fallen leaves. Doi Suthep temple is beautiful. Kui made sure I saw all the most important aspects of this temple and also gave me the chance to talk to a local monk and receive his blessings. That was very special for me! We also went and sampled some great coffee after a delicious lunch at the Hmong village which was very charming. Kui kept me entertained throughout the hike with interesting anecdotes about Thailand and its culture. Strongly recommend taking this hike with Kui - it’s a unique experience that you will treasure.

We had a lovely day with the elephants and learnt a lot from our guide Bee. She was very friendly and relaxed! The lunch provided was delicious and all veggie friendly too.
Best of all we got to see genuinely happy elephants looked after by their Mahouts!

A really nice day discovering the north east forest and waterfalls 1h-ish from Chiang Mai. We were lucky to see two gibbons in their tree during our hike with their caretaker. All this cut with a good lunch in the lovely village, and a great guide to accompany our little group too.

I'm 51 and in normal shape and this hiking day during end of March hot day was awesome to do. Kyi is a great guide with many regional explanation and specific story about the trail along the way.
Our lunch and coffee break in the village was wonderful, and our afternoon path to the temple and the city super cool too.
Really recommending this for hikers who wish to discover less touristy paths with a great local guide.
