Insiders Chiang Mai

This is a stellar opportunity to really get a sense of the history of Chiang Mai. Boy was an amazing guide and we learned a lot about the history and customs. My brother and I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to all.

An interesting afternoon in the old city

Published on Jan, 2025

Ratana our guide was delightful, friendly and chatty and full of information. She always had answers when we asked her about the history of Thailand and life now. We tried durian (not as bad as it’s made out to be??), saw lots of temples in the old city—some really beautiful—and she gave us good tips for the markets, local food, and hiking on the outskirts of the city. Thank you, Ratana!

Seeing Chiang Mai with Purdichat and With Locals

Published on Jan, 2025

Purdichat was an absolute delight and my friends and I enjoyed touring around Chiang Mai with her. It was so special and informative to see the city through the eyes of a local. What I appreciated most about her is the pride and care with which she answered our questions and informed us about Thai culture, the history of the sites and temples we visited, and the philosophy of Buddhism. My friends and I left the tour with an increased understanding of the city and the Thai people. I highly recommend her as a guide.
