i love the way the tour is planned
My favorite activity during my visit to Thailand. Hike was great and we learned a lot about animals unique to the area. The temples at the top were so beautiful and I’ve never seen anything like it. Long day but so worth it!
It was disappointing that the weather was rainy in the rainy season, but when walking in the mountains I was able to walk without rain. The guide was also able to spend a good time. It is much cheaper than other companies, but you can rest assured I think it's content that can be used. (Some English proficiency may be required) I wanted to use other tours of this company in the future.
A wonderful relaxed hike with lots of added extras including temples and lunch. Well led by our engaging guide
Great day with Daniel. We had a fun group and great time! Despite the rain we saw the pagodas and made the most of it
Amazing experience! Great tour guide. Organized pick up and we had plenty of time at each stop. Solo traveler friendly!
Beautiful area, beautiful people but a lot of hours in a van for a 2 hour trek. Glad to help out the local people at their markets.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and local experience. As the tour includes not only trekking but also visits to Thailand’s highest point, the Twin Pagodas, and several other highlights, we believe the journey is well worth the experience. We appreciate your comment.
Yo-Yo was a great tour guide. He was funny and gave us so much information. There are a lot of tours that do these same spots, but I will say no one I spoke to later that did a similar tour knew anything of the history of the area like I did after spending the day with Yo-Yo. Our group was 9 people and it was a good size. It is cool there in the mornings! Wear full length leggings and bring a light jacket you will be surprised that you will need it (March 26)
Nice tour with good food at lunch, good tour guide YOYO, we went on good day with nice weather and love doi inthanon.
A fabulous day out, our guide mett was really informative and friendly. The trek was a bit like a hitt class, wear trainers. The views were beautiful though and worth it.
