" Aniesa and Eric Brassil Virginia "When we set up the itinerary we were expecting the typical sites, which we did get to see but our guide Suphote showed us SO MUCH MORE. From the markets to the boat rides (and we had several) we learned something every inch of the way. His knowledge of his country was contagious and we learned to love the people and their traditions along with the sites. Professional yet friendly, we enjoyed every minute of our time with him. His knowledge and experience brought us the trip of a lifetime" Jan & Kevin Nevielle "Phote…. Thank you so much for making everyday in Thailand an adventure!

Overview of your Chiang Mai tour

I will take you to visit the biggest fruit and vegetable market and walk to the two oldest markets that my family use to do shopping, principally, school uniform, traditional herbal medicine, when I was young. We will try some yummy, and moth- watering local street food. Then, meet up with a Rickshaw man, they will take us into the old city of Chiang Mai. My grandfather once uses to ride a rickshaw as a part time job. As a teenage boy, I had borrowed his rickshaw to earn extra money during the weekend. The Rickshaw man will take us through the main road in the old city, once King Mengrai, the king who had found Chiang Mai (13th century) had traveled to visit the market in front of Wat Phrasing. From Wat Phrasing, we will travel on foot to visit Wat Chedi Luang. A break for tasty lunch at the local restaurant. Then continue visit other interesting land mark, such as shrine, temples, Chiang Mai Art & Culture museum as well as my favorite Old textile museum. (Subject to open hours)
