“Ott was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide! We were picked up at our hotel on time and given the itinerary, with updates along the way. The tour was a long day in the van but broken up by a great variety of things to see and do. The highlights were visiting the twin pagodas Napamatanee Don and Napaphon Bhumisiri located at the highest point in Thailand and visiting several waterfalls. It was a good value for all that was provided. One recommendation: choose a different location for lunch that offers great and flavorful Thai food.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 230 reviews · from $47

“Booked this as a solo traveler since it is a must-do from Chiang Mai. Mediocre experience. Lots of time wasted before getting to the national park (~1h picking up from hotels, ~40 min stop at gas station for food) meaning the actual 2h hike takes place during the hottest part of the day (1-3p). The tour guide provides no value (no explanation of history, doesn’t walk around the pagodas or waterfall with you).”
