10 Private Tours in Chiang Mai That You Shouldn't Miss
You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

We booked James for an afternoon to shoot photos of our family (daughter, mum, dad, and grandma) during our stay at the very scenic Four Seasons resort Chiang Mai. The experience was great from start to finish and we ended up with some really amazing photos. It was one of those experiences where you go ‘wow, a professional really does make a difference’. Best of all, the process was enjoyable and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommended!

I planned my first trip to Chiang Mai and wanted a unique experience and the possibility to do some photography with a local guide. Seeing the advert from Lanna to visit Doi Suthep, Wat Umong, Bai Orchid-Butterfly Farm and Bua Tong "Sticky" Waterfall I thought this is perfect as it will give me a taste of the area. Lanna was very friendly from the start and she was fun to be with for the day. She was very patient when I wanted to stop and take some photos and was flexible with the timing of leaving one place and going to the next. She had so much knowledge about the places we visited and she willingly answered any questions. She made the whole day interesting and did not just repeat facts but provided explanations that kept your attention. One point we discussed was future trips and the possibility of going somewhere off the beaten track to avoid the crowds including waterfalls and overnight stays in Doi Inthanon. Lanna made the whole day a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to have her as my guide and I cannot recommend her enough. I am looking forward to my return trips to Chiang Mai and adventure to Doi Inthanon.

Thanks to the lime stone, which floats in the water, the rocks on the waterfall are not slippery and you can climb them easily without any equipment. You don’t even need shoes! The rocks are a little prickly, and some feel like pumice stones. There are 5 levels and each of them is a great place to sit down and enjoy your surroundings. The rocks are creamy, almost white. The lime also makes the water crystal blue. You can chill-out sitting on small pools and enjoy fresh air from the surrounding forest.
Inclusions: Lunch , Entrance Fee - FREE, Comfy Air-con Mini Van, Bottled Water, Alcoholic drink can be provided with a small fee

The park is worth to visit, it has a lot to offer but definitely not with the horrible guide lady: she was arrogant, rude and it felt like we are there for her, not the other way around. Thanks to her - as she 'forgot' to mention that the village is closed for the day, so we would have gone another day, we went back and forth (i.e. uphill) on the same route for the trekking experince. Please note that the price was 2,000 bahts (in March, so the price might be different in different month!) but you can bargain the agent when you book the tour..
