A fantastic day tour with a great guide. Jackie made sure we had everything we needed at all times and was amazing with our two children, especially at the falls. Jackie gave an in depth history at the temple, and throughout all the sites we visited. Thanks Team!

Great experience very personalized. The attention and well spoken English of our tour guide Maggie made the experience much better! She took many pictures of us ☺️ Our driver Yari was also great, we slept the whole way back. The elephants seem happy and well taken care of. We did everything on our time. We saw 02 baby elephants and 02 big elephants by ourselves (the other groups were looking at other elephants) so our whole trip was personalized.

We booked a 1 day private tour via their website of ethical elephant caretaker followed by a tour of doi sathep temple. Communication was excellent from the outset. We were picked up by Yuung and a driver in a VIP bus and taken to the elephant sanctuary first. What a fantastic place it is. You get to interact with the elephants in a respectful way and learn so much about them. We were allowed to feed the baby of the group and her mother, then were introduced to the rest of the herd, followed by a walk through the forest with them to the river where we helped to bathe them. Then it was off to make some herbal medicine balls which we then hand fed. It was so special being able to get up close whilst maintaining respect for these majestic animals. After enjoying our time there, we were taken for lunch at a local restaurant which was very tasty and whisked off to doi suthep. We all learnt so much from Yuung throughout the day and they were very good company throughout. Doi suthep is a very old and much revered temple on top of a mountain just outside of Chiang mai. It was an interesting and educational experience. We all agreed it was a brilliant trip made unforgettable by out guides! If we had longer to spend in Chiang Mai we would have definitely booked more tours with them as they offer so many.

The day provided an amazing morning. Maggie was our guide who was well informed and shared not only lots of information about the two temples visited but showed us how to be a good Buddhist - like being a part of the family. Lunch was satisfying. Being an order couple in relative good physical condition, all the steps going down that had to be traveled to get back up from the waterfall was a bit much especially in the afternoon heat! The young family traveling with two daughters had a great time on this part of the trip. Warning to older travelers - lots and lots of steps at the waterfall. Wish we had known before we signed up!

Had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Loved the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep especially when the monk gave our group a blessing with holy water. The Sticky Waterfall was so much fun climbing it.

We did the day trip to the elephant sanctuary with swimming in waterfalls and river rafting in a bamboo canoe. One of the best tours of my life, no kidding! Chai was a super guide, nice, funny and very knowledgeable! The most important thing is that there is never a rush, they leave you time to do everything calmly! Lunch was also absolutely great! If you are in Chiang Mai you can't miss this tour!

Such a great day and incredible experience, Our tour guide Yoong was just the best, full of knowledge and such great energy and fun to be around. We had been to many temples in Bangkok before this day but visiting a temple with Yoong was a completely different experience, She taught us so much about Buddhism and about the temples we left feeling really informed and privileged to of experienced what we did. Then onto the Sticky waterfalls which were incredible!! Perfect scenery, great fun climbing and descending and Many laughs along the way. Then on our way back to the hotel Yoong took us to the most perfect little cafe where we had lunch, The best Khao Soi we had tasted and so much more food that we couldn't finish it all. Please book this tour, you will not regret it. It has been our highlight of visiting Chaing Mai and if you are lucky enough to have Yoong as your guide you will have the best time. She went above and beyond for us so for that, thankyou so much!! Kyle and Jasmine

We had the absolute BEST day!! Yoong and Mr. Art were amazing guides! Yoong was so knowledgeable, kind and she was the perfect person to share with us the rich culture of Thailand and Buddhism. We loved going to the temple, paying our respects to monk and climbing the "sticky" waterfalls. Our entire family loved every minute from start to finish and Yoong made the day!!!

The whole trip was awesome. Yung, the guide was wonderful, 1) Intelligent..She educated us on Thai culture and history 2) Interactive...we felt as if she was apart of us and 3) Funny...Her jokes were on point and timed perfectly. Actually, I would say that Yung made the whole experience enjoyable.

On a private tour the tour guide is one of the most important aspects and we truly hit the jackpot with Yoong. She was so knowledgeable about everywhere we went and bent over backwards to make sure we had a fantastic time! The fixed points of the tour is the temple, a monument and the sticky waterfalls. All of which were fantastic! We also got to pick an additional activity in an area of Chiang Mai that there was maybe 50 things to do! We chose the snake farm which again was great. Yoong told us all about Thai culture and we learnt about the Buddhist religion. The driver was a great guy as well! He had some English and Yoong was a great translator for him as well. This has been one of the best days of our trip so would highly recommend and if you get Yoong as a guide you can consider yourself lucky!

The day trip was great, you could really tell that the elephants were well cared for and all the people there really care for them. It was an amazing experience that we will never forget. Make sure your prepared for a bit of hiking when you go.

The tour was amazing! You really get in touch with the elephants, feed them, swim with them and you can take a lot of photo’s with them. Also the hiking tour was so cool! You can cool down while swimming around the waterfall and relax at the bamboo rafting. Thereby, our tour guide (Chai) was amazing! He was so passionate about the flora and fauna in this area. He can tell you a lot! I would definitely recommend!

Really fun and interesting trip! We loved everything about it, especially the Bua Thong (Sticky) Waterfall. Jakkie was an excellent tour guide and it was a pleasure spending the day with him.

My favourite part of the tour was listening to the stories and the history of monks, Buddha and the temples. I was blessed by a monk and was given a bracelet hehe. I learn a lot from our tour guide (Jakkie). He was a monk and answered so many of questions. He was nice, funny, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour- ask for Jakkie if you could! The sticky waterfall was fun! Jakkie made sure we were all safe :) he took lots of photos for us!
