This was by far one of the greatest experiences of my life!!! My wife and I thought the sanctuary was very ethical. We didnโt ride the elephants or touch them. We did, however, get to feed them and walk with them through the jungle. I highly recommend bringing shoes that you donโt care about because you will be walking up and down steep hills. We also got a chance to go to a lake where the elephants grazed while we were able to hang out in the water. They fed us, let us make our own inhalers and took a wonderful water raft. I highly suggest bringing your phone while on the raft. There are other elephant sanctuaries in the area, and there is a large possibility that one of the elephants from their sanctuary may be going to hang out in the water at the same time as your water raft.

My tour guide Leelee had a charming smile and enthusiastically explained along the way, sharing the history of many Chiang Mai temples. It was a bit tiring to gather at 5:00 in the morning, but it was worth it to visit three beautiful temples and watch the sunrise in just half a day.

Our private tour to Doi Suthep was an unforgettable experience! The temple itself is stunning, with intricate golden architecture and breathtaking panoramic views of Chiang Mai. Having a private guide made the experience even more special, as we learned so much about the history and cultural significance of the temple.
The tour was well-organized, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take in the beauty of the temple and surrounding areas. The convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off also made everything smooth and stress-free.
I highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Chiang Maiโitโs a must-do for those who want a deeper and more personal experience at Doi Suthep!

Mew Mew was an excellent guide! She explained well and even answered our various questions about Thai history. We also appreciated how she gave her recommendations and honest opinions about the places we were going or the things that we were going to try. We also commend our lady driver who swiftly and smoothly navigated through the zig zag roads. We also love the van! Definitely recommend

Perfect itinerary! The tour guide Mew was very friendly, spoke good English, and planned the itinerary very well. The group members were also very punctual. The scenery on the mountain was great, the cafe at the foot of the mountain was very suitable for taking pictures, Wumeng Temple has a long history, and the Miao Village is also a very special experience. All 4 attractions are great. Finally, I would like to say that the hardware facilities of the car are great and very comfortable.
