What an incredible day! The temples in the morning were stunning- great views, history, culture. Lovely to walk around the sites and take it all in. Beautiful waterfall at the 2nd temple, very chilled and fairly quiet. The sticky waterfalls were excellent. I wasn't sure what to expect but I had so much fun. We ended up climbing them twice. Our guide couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. He came with us every step of the way, getting lots of photos and sharing his knowledge. This tour is quiet and we were the only 3 people. Would definitely recommend.
Relaxed pace, fun for the teen, and beautiful temple

It’s amazing. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. He kept the timing perfectly so we have enough time to explore each sites. He also helped us to navigate busy crowds as we are there during the Buddhist festival. He also took us to this very nice local restaurant for lunch. The highlight for us is definitely the sticky waterfall. My son who’s 12 became really obsessed with it and insisted on doing it twice. It was definitely his highlight of our entire trip in Chiang Mai.
Memorable and comfortable day with a kind and friendly guide

We had such a great day trip! The day we selected we happened to be the only group, so we had a private tour. Mongkol always made sure we knew we could take our time at the stops to explore and enjoy (especially because we were two people and take less time than a group). The locations were so beautiful and exactly what we wanted to see. They showed us the University reservoir on the way as a little bonus, because it was only us two. They showed us around Doi Suthep and told us some stories about Buddhism at the temple which were very interesting. There is a very beautiful view there and peaceful places to sit that we didn't expect. Wat Pha Lat was stunning with the waterfall running through the site, and there we had time on our own to wander. We had extra time, and they offered to show us Huay Keuw waterfall—this was a great experience and they told us some stories about the area and statues there. The sticky waterfall was a big highlight! They did the first climb with us and helped us through the slippery parts as sometimes algae grows on the sticky limestone. The challenge added to the fun in some parts. The jungle around the falls is so beautiful and scenic. Mongkol is a very genuine and joyful person which shows in the way he works. They were also incredibly generous, offering water and coffees and letting us order whatever we wanted for lunch. They answered all the practical questions without us having to ask—bathrooms, where to store items, where to meet next. We were very comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much!
Mongkol is a great guide

Mongkol was an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable. Took us to a great spot for food for lunch and catered to allergies. He was so enthusiastic about nature and wildlife it really gave us so much information to digest. Great tour to cover three amazing beautiful sites.

We enjoyed a relaxing tour of Doi Suthep, Waterfall Phalat and the Sticky Waterfall. The Temples were pretty and harmonious with nature. The Waterfall was pretty and the limestone it flowed down on looked really nice. There were a lot of people climbing up the rock with the aid of a rope and looked like they were having a great time. The guide was nice and we had an enjoyable day. Thank you 😊
Perfect day out!

We had a great day with our guide Mongkol. His English was very good and he enjoyed sharing his knowledge about the Buddhist religion. We really learned a lot about Buddhism from him. He also loves nature and was always good at showing us birds and insects and little creatures. We never felt rushed touring the temples in the morning. In the afternoon, Mongkol joined us in climbing the sticky waterfall. There are lockers and bathrooms to change and store your things. We ate local food for lunch which was included in the price! It was just a great day out!
Great day, great guide

We had a perfect day with our guide Mongkol! His English was very good and he enjoyed talking about his Buddhist faith and answering questions about Buddhism. He also loves nature as we do and was always pointing out animals and different insects along our way. We were the only ones who had booked this tour that day, so it ended up being a private tour which was great We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy both temples. In the afternoon, we went to the sticky waterfalls and Mongkol climbed them with us. It was a lot of fun and such a unique experience. There are lockers and bathrooms so that you can change into your bathing suit after you get there. Recommend bringing a towel and water shoes as well. You won’t regret booking this tour!

Mongkoi was our guide, and he was absolutely fantastic! He shared fascinating history and stories throughout the tour, and his knowledge was impressive. His English was excellent, even though he apologized several times, which we really appreciated. He spent a long and very worthwhile day with us, taking us to the temples, the sticky waterfall, and even guiding us to the monk’s trail when he learned we wanted to go but didn’t know the way. We’re so grateful for his time and effort—our experience was truly amazing thanks to him!
