the tour is nice, is not too far from downtown chiangmai. around 20-45mins. after the tour, the tour guide also suggest place to go, and drop us to an area for food and shopping . good thing about the temple, they provide long dress and 'jacket' , if your outfit is not 100% temple friendly. one friendly reminder, you need to take off your shoes entering temple, and that day is raining a bit, so luckily i didnt wear socks :) they also have cable car option (self paid, fairly cheap, ard 20THB), but we choose to walk the stairs, around 5-10mins walk. all good, we enjoyed the tour :)

The pick-up and drop-off at the hotel was very considerate ~ the driver was very good at driving, and the road up the mountain was very stable with nine twists and turns! The tour guide introduced the history and beliefs of Chiang Mai in simple terms from the perspective of religious buildings. If you ask the tour guide some curious details during the tour, he will share a lot more information~ (For example, I am very interested in the meditation center attached to a Thai temple, and the tour guide recommended me another temple, which has facilities suitable for foreigners. (Zen Meditation Center) Overall, it was a very good experience. Since it was a group tour, it was a bit of a quick trip. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go there again and savor it carefully~

The evening tour of Doi Suthep with guide Yoyo was neat and good. We quickly went around Aegisman in a cool van. It was a time when we could take in the night view of Chiang Mai at a glance.

The Doi Suthep night tour, which is a must-see when you come to Chiang Mai, was a good decision. The night view was beautiful, and both the guide and driver were kind. They took pictures for us and made sure we didn't get left behind. We saw the beautiful night view, and although I didn't understand everything about the explanation, they tried their best. Except for two of them, everyone was Korean, so I felt more comfortable during this recommended tour.

I went to Doi Step through a tour package. The guide came to the lobby of my accommodation to pick me up and we were able to move around comfortably. The vehicle was a forklift(?) and it wasn't that comfortable, but it wasn't too long of a travel time so it was okay.

There are a lot of mosquitoes, so be careful, and if you wear shorts or sleeveless clothes, you'll need to wrap a scarf around your head, so if you're going to take a lot of pictures, make sure to wear nice, long clothes. It's quite far from Old Town, but you can go there comfortably by van and get dropped off wherever you want, so it was nice to be able to see the night market.
