What people love about Private Tours in Northern Thailand
- Chiang Mai Ultimate Local And Cultural Experience (Private And All-Inclusive)
Overall a good experience, if somewhat light on organized activities. This part of Thailand is mostly temples and there were plenty on this tour, and lots of beautiful sights to see. One day was spent in a local village house and farm learning local customs and eating a local meal, which was lovely. The other two days were a loose collection of experiences with local temples including a visit to neighboring Lamphun province. Curiously, we never were taken to see local Chang Mai sights and left to do this on our own. Our guide M was very nice and accommodating, but we would've appreciated more historical context for what we were seeing. Sites tended to run together and get confusing because we had little historical context. Often it seemed like things were proceeding on the fly without much planning. While we appreciated the free time for exploration that this led to, we would've ideally liked more organization. Hotel was absolutely beautiful.
