We could not make it

We could not make it to the trip because i was really sick that day, but since the guide was actually the same than from our trip to the white temple, i'm sure we would have enjoyed it a lot because he was amazing. He knew a lot about Thailand and Chiang mai culture and had lots of interesting information to offer. He not only waited for us on the hotel reception, but he even offered to let us change the date of the tour for when i was better. Unfortunately we were leaving soon so we could not accept the offer, but it was extremely considerate of them
