Best seller!! Amazing Night tour, Doi Suthep + Wat umong - Top Must visit!
Description
I’ve never seen such a fantastic scenery. I will be falling in love with Chiangmai. We can confidently recommend this tour to many tourists saying they are too bored to see more temples because this tour is the perfect chance to explore the totally different temple from others. You will visit a must-see temple in Chiang Mai and the unique temple in Chiangmai which make you experience ancient Lanna culture. Without a doubt the nighttime is definitely the best time to visit as you can enjoy the glorious beauty of the sacred temple and admirable night city view in the peaceful atmosphere without the usual crowds.

Itinerary
Depending on your accommodation location, you will be picked up between 5:00 and 5:30 PM, or between 5:40 and 6:10 PM. (Starting from December 1, 2024, pickup times will be moved 30 minutes earlier) Visit Wat Umong. This temple set in the forest is completely different from other typical temples, this one is built inside a tunnel. Enter the tunnels of Wat Umong and see the impressive Buddha images. It doesn’t matter what religion you have. When you go inside the tunnel, it whispers to you the secrets of this world and the old history of this temple built in 1297.
Climb a staircase of 306 steps leading to Doi Suthep temple. This staircase leading to the site is adorned with the impressive body of the mythical dragon-headed serpent, or Naga, snaking its way down 306 steps. This is definitely the best way to approach the temple but there is also a funicular railway if you are less steady on your feet. Reaching the top, admire the Lanna-style golden pagoda covered with engraved gold plates, flanked by four ornamental umbrellas and a fantastic Night city view from the mountain. Visiting these sites at night gives you an unforgettable memory of Chiang Mai. * Polite clothes such as trousers or a long skirt should be worn for the visit to temple

Guide was well-spoken, but with the historic and cultural explanations on the lower side (feel free to ask though). Temples were stunning (especially Wat Doi Suthep after nightfall). Keep in mind though that if you stay in city centre or further east, the pickup itself is going to take a while.
Positive experience. The temples visited are very fascinating. The guide was very kind and helpful Highly recommended
Transportation was in a full bus, with 12 total guests. Bus had AC and was ok - nothing fancy and seats not super comfortable. Our guide was Yo-yo and he was kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tunnel temple was ok. Nothing fancy and just 4’of 9 rooms accessible due to renovations (but all are the same). Wish we had brought bug spray to this stop! Lots of mosquitos. Wat Doi Suthep was spectacular at night. View of Chiang Mai old city was ok. It was about 35 minutes to/from the 2nd temple each way so transportation provided by this tour was well worth it. Not much to learn about either temple, so basically all about rhe views. For the money this was a worthwhile tour.
The experience itself was great. We did not love the tour guide. Recommend the night timing, especially in summer.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the experience. We will share your comments with our guide team and encourage them to take better care of our guests and provide more informative explanations. We appreciate your comments.
This was our first night in Chiang Mai, and was a nice way to get a grounding in the local history. The views from Wat Doi Suthep at sunset were fantastic, and we enjoyed the pace.
Great way to see two out of town temples when less crowded. Benefits from being cooler than the heat of the day. Very informative guide
This was a lovely experience visiting two temples in the evening. Due to the timing, we were able to see the temples in both daylight and then at night. Our guide was also very knowledgable and provided a lot of information about the temples and also Chiang Mai’s history. She was also very accommodating when people asked to be dropped off around town instead of at their hotel.
A must do trip whilst in Chiang Mai. Amazing to take trip in the evening whilst lit up.
This tour is amazing if you want to experience these temples at night and learn more about Chiang Mai’s culture. Our guide was amazing and make sure we were getting the local history of the places we visited. At the end of our trip we left one of our belongings in the van, when we contacted the tour guide, she made sure it was easy for us to collect it later.
The trip was great and well worth it, however couldn't understand a word the tour guide said which washelped by the fact she wore a mask. Also the transport was very hot and driver seemed reluctant to turn up air con
