somphet market tours

our guide Avi was very knowledgeable and approachable. he was also very helpful and supportive while we we winded climbing the steps to Doi Suthep. he shared a lot and was very engaging throughout, making the 2.30am alarm to catch the ride at 4.30am very worth. highly recommended!

What made this tour truly special was our guide, E. He gave us a personal and insightful overview of Thai culture and Buddhism, sharing detailed stories and curiosities about each site we visited. His passion and knowledge brought everything to life, making the experience unforgettable. I’ve never met such kind and gentle people, highly recommended!

The order of the tour is to tell the elephant type, name, and age in the sanctuary, change clothes, feed it, take pictures, give it sugarcane, then go to the muddy water and get the elephants covered in mud. Afterwards, they wipe the mud off the elephants from the muddy water and provide fried rice for lunch. It was fun and it was great to see and experience the elephants up close. Seeing that other tours involve washing elephants in clear water, I think it would be a good idea to use Naver Blog to select the correct company instead of just looking at Klook.

We enjoyed our tour with Pui. They were on-time and at every destination Pui gave us a designated time and location on where to meet. All of us in the group opted for the cable car and it was 50 baht per person round-trip at Doi Suthep. At the Hmong Village, there were so much stores and we thought about heading to the waterfall for 20 baht. However, with the time limit we skipped out. The last destination was quick, so we were eating oranges from the village and went back to the van. Overall, my family and I enjoyed this tour and will be looking for others in Chiang Mai before heading back home. Thank you, Pui and Tom for taking care of us and driving all of us safely to and from our hotels!

I had a wonderful time during the tour. As someone who likes to eat and want to know the local way of living, this tour is a must. My guide showed me around Michelin food spots while telling me the history of both the food and the place. He also showed me around the local market which was very useful when I wanted to buy lots of souvenirs to take back home. I recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay.

I didn't expect to have such an experience. First: I thought that there were many people who would form a group first. It turned out that only my wife and I were the two of us from the hotel pick-up. It was really like a private group. I should have just sat on the boat to see Look at the scenery and look at the rivers on both sides. It’s so simple. Second: the food is not bad. The fried Phnom Penh noodles are really delicious. There is also water supply, special drinks and ice cream. The waiter even asked if you want it. Eat more ice cream, third: when you go to the dining place, it really has an ancient Thai flavor. I really don’t think you can get it. Overall, I think it’s worth the money. The ordering is smoother than others, just this one, not necessarily the whole itinerary. Because some of the photos cannot be posted on the platform due to the camera, only mobile phone photos are available, so I cannot share them with everyone. In a word, it is worth going on this trip.

guides were amazing and I felt very safe under their care cycling throughout the city. also shared quite abit of the history and secrets of Chiangmai. definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Chiangmai for the first time.

The overall experience is great. We were provided the pick up details beforehand, the pick up is on time, both tour guide and driver are polite, the journey is well planned to avoid the crowd at the 3 temples. Tour guide P'sing speaks both Mandarin & English well considering those are not his native languages. He has shared a lot of interesting history and stories of the 3 places we visited. And he took plenty of nice photos for us. The driver P'nut drives well & steady despite the long journey and mountainous routes. Highly recommend this tour.
