Night view at Doi Suthep is amazing. Road is very windy though so if you're susceptible to motion sickness, do take precautions.

James (Mr. Thanaratsirikul) our guide was excellent! He's funny and very good at explaining things. He also made sure no one was left behind, and we did go to every spot written in the itinerary. The tour started very early, but it was worth it, not many tourists at the time. It was a fun trip

The pick-up was on time and the guide was very kind. The night view of Chiang Mai from Wat Umong and Doi Suthep, a cave temple, was really beautiful during the evening. It was drizzling a little at Doi Suthep, but the guide lent us an umbrella so we could tour around comfortably. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the guide's English explanation was a little hard to understand, but other than that, I was satisfied with everything. ^^ Since you can look up history and such separately, I think it won't be a big problem. Considering the cost of a car and taxi, I think it's very cost-effective. If you have nothing to do in the evening, it's a good place to bring your parents. Recommended!!
