My name is Niran, and I also have an English name, Tony, that it might be easier for you to call me. I organise all kind of nature and city tours in Chiang Rai. I was born in a small village in the southern of Chiang Rai city, as a son of a rice farmer family I learned from my parents. After the primary school, I entered the temple to become a novice monk to learn Buddhism and continually went to study in Bangkok. I was ordained to become a monk after the novice when I gained 20 years old and studied in the Buddhist university. During those times, besides my study at the university, I went to the famous temples (wat) to meet and practice English with tourists who came from all around the world. This made me love travelling, showing and share stories with people from the different culture and countries. When I returned to a Layman and went back to my hometown Chiang Rai, I have been a tour guide till the present. Chiang Rai is my hometown, located in the northern most province in Thailand which connects with Myanmar and Laos. The province is rich of history, nature and culture - from local Lanna people and multi-ethnic groups -who mainly live in the mountainous areas. There are nice places for sunset and sunrise, famous mountains that tribe people live and grow a world famous coffee and tea, some traditional villages where you could spend overnight, cook and eat like those uniquely local styles. I conduct nature and city tours, also trekking, cycling, sightseeing and some other kind of tours that you might personally request upon your time and interest.

Overview of your Chiang Rai tour

Let's be inspired by the famous White temple, the Bamboo forest temple and one the beautiful Saengkaew temple in Maesuai district! I have a very great knowledge about our faith because I studied to become a novice monk and learn Buddhism. Therefore, you will be in good hands for this tour! We will also explore one of the beautiful mountain in Chiang Rai where the best coffee grew and you will taste it! We will have time to visit a Tea plantation in Singha park, a hill tribe family who run a coffee business and have lunch in their coffee house. We will trekking around the Bamboo forest temple where its beautiful bamboo garden is. Then, we will see the great view from Doi Chang at sunset.

Niran is such a joy. We spent two wonderful days with him. Saw so many different sites in the Chaing Rai region. Really wish we had a few more days! Thank you Niran for introducing us to your very special region. Hope we can come back to learn even more 💝

Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient when we asked him to make extra stops. The bamboo forest temple was the most serene and peaceful I have ever visited, and we were the only once there. Be prepared for hiking and some fairly sketchy bamboo stairs, but definitely worth it.

Niran picked us up right on time to start or adventure. We had the greatest day with him. Everything he planned was well thought out and we couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable day. His knowledge of the temples and of nature was incredible. We learned so much would highly recommend him. We can't wait until the next time we come back to Chiang Rai so we could spend more time with him.

Niran is an excellent guide and I'd highly recommend booking with him. We booked Niran for a Chiang Rai coffee and temples tour and he definitely delivered. He is friendly, personable, and shared a wealth of knowledge. Niran worked with us to craft a custom itinerary and ensure we were happy with the tour. We would gladly rebook Niran for his trekking tours next time we are in Thailand. Thanks Niran, for a great tour.
