Tu and James did an exceptional job as our tour guides for Doi Inthanon and Doi Suthep. We loved hiking through Doi Inthanon with a Karen Hill tribe guide. They led us to the most jaw dropping and beautiful waterfalls. The King and Queen pagodas at the very top of Doi Inthanon were stunning, even with the fog - it felt like a dream. Also, the food that we had for lunch in the mountain of Doi Inthanon was the best thing I ate from my entire trip in Thailand!
We ended our tour at Doi Suthep, just as the sun was setting. And it was beautiful hearing the monks chant to the setting sun. Tu was also very knowledgeable about the history of the mountain and the temple. He provided us a crash course on Buddhism and the significance of Doi Suthep. We also learned that Tu was a monk for over a decade of his life, so we could feel his passion about the temple and its rich history.
James did a phenomenal job with the Karen guide on the hikes through Doi Inthanon. We always felt safe, and he was very helpful in taking out photos whenever we needed him to (and we asked for A LOT OF PHOTOS because the mountain and its waterfalls are so stunning).
This was everything we wanted for a packed day of activities for a private tour of three people. Thank you!
