This was a wonderful experience full of history and beautiful sights! Learning about the customs of the Hmong people of Northern Thailand and exploring gorgeous Doi Suthep was extremely memorable. Highly recommend! Our guide had multiple bottles of ice cold water and cold towels for us to stay comfortable. The drive is a bit windy but the accommodations were very comfortable.

This realy an excellent trip to go on. The trip to the Hmong village is truly stunning, and peaceful. Doi Suthep temple is exceptional. The pick up was on time, clean and also had free candy and bottles of chilled water. The driver was great. Most importantly the tour guide Poongkie was the best we have had. She was perfectly professional, informative, friendly and lovely. I would highly recommend this trip. It was one of the best mornings we have had.

The trip itself was really nice, because it was just me and my friend and we had the guide Arrow all to ourselves. He explained a lot about the Thai’s culture and the Buddhism when we went to the temple. The village is a bit too touristic but the second part is absolutely worth it.
