The tour from start to finish was brilliant. Our tour guide was so informative and we learned more about Thailand, the hill tribe and Buddhism in this tour than we did in our 3 week holiday. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in Thai culture.

We were pick up by Tui and driver, and we were treated to a wonderful drive up the mountain.We really enjoyed the experience in the Hill Tribe Village were we go to meet some of the people there and enjoyed a wonderful cup of local coffee, after being given all the information about the people from Tui. From there we went to the temple were Tui had a lot of information to tell us about the history and significance about the temple. It was a little busy when we go there, but the people started to leave and at around 7pm there were every little people there, just before the monks started to chant. It was an amazing experience all round and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
