Good to know
- As our tours operate on a group basis, we kindly ask everyone to be on time. We can only wait for a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After the 10 minutes grace period, the guide will start with the tour. If you’re unable to make it on time, please inform us before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day or time slot. Please note that a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
- Remember that temples are sacred places and you must dress appropriately. Shoulders and knees need to be covered (for both men and women). No leggings, tight pants, or revealing tops, otherwise access might be denied.
- This tour is operated with a typical Thai “songthaew”. A songthaew is a converted pick-up truck with two benches in the back, open sides, and no air-conditioning. It’s an authentic way locals travel around Chiang Mai.
- We only pick up from hotels and accommodations located within the Old City of Chiang Mai or directly next to the Old City walls. If your hotel or accommodation is outside this area, you are required to meet the group in front of the Burger King at Thapae Gate (the eastern gate of the Old City) in Chiang Mai.
Traveler reviews
Doi Suthep Temple
We had a lovely tour with Jane who was the sweetest. Very educational and taught us about the history of the temple, Chiang Mai and buddhism. Very beautiful, both temple and views and I would definitely recommend it!
Tour with Jane
Our guide Jane is the sweetest person and was very kind to us. She gave us a lot of information about the history and was kind enough to took photos for us. Would definitely recommend going to tour with her!
Nice visit
Beautiful tour of the temple with Jane, our very kind and pleasant local guide, who taught us a lot about the Buddhist religion and the origin of the temple. Unfortunately, visit a little too short in my opinion. An extra hour would have been appreciated to make the most of the place which is magical.
Really nice experience for the late afternoon
We booked this tour with short advance but everything went absolutely fine! Nancy, our guide, was amazing! She explained us a lot of things about the Temple, Chiang Mai and Thailand as well. We suggest this tour to everyone, it really worths!
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep with Jane!
An excellent tour with everything very well organized. Our guide was JANE, who explained everything perfectly. Jane brought us closer to Buddhist culture and religion by telling us the secrets of how the temple was built and answering every single question we had. Thank you for the fantastic experience we had, JANE!
