Our trip was a great experience but after spending the day with Naphat our time in Chiang Mai will always be remembered in a much better light thanks to her She was so knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions we had and was a pleasure to be around. We can't recommend her enough and we will most definitely be seeking out her vast knowledge and welcoming demeanor on our next trip to Chiang Mai! She made our trip!

We had a fantastic day out with Naphat, we were so glad she was able to cater for our very last minute booking :) We visited the white temple and blue temple in Chiang Rai and we were able to understand both the history & cultural context of both as well as get a really good insight into Thai Buddhism which underlies behaviour and belief systems - super interesting and we really appreciated how open Naphat was to our questions - she was genuinely excited to share! The white temple was the highlight and really understanding it made a huge difference (i had visited previously by myself and it was really quite a shallow experience!) I’ve lived in Thailand for 10 years and i still learnt a lot about what makes the Thai people tick from just one day with Naphat! Highly recommended, really friendly, helpful and professional! Our driver was also very good - smooth ride, felt very safe and comfortable, necessary for that long drive!

Naphat is an outstanding guide. I had a great day with her, driving to and from Chiang Rai and visiting the main sights. It was quite a long day but it was fascinating to talk with her and benefit from her wealth of knowledge about Buddhism. She is extremely friendly and was very open to adjusting the amount of information provided according to my capacity/interests. I would strongly recommend Naphat. A great day in Chiang Rai with Naphat

Purichat is an excellent guide. She picked me up from my hotel and navigated the streets and parking in the old city expertly, so we saw a lot without too much walking. It was a pleasure talking with her and she provided just the right amount of information at each location. Also included some quieter spots with less tourists, which I appreciated. Great short tour of Chiang Mai

Khun Eddie suggested a food tour through a very local market in Lamphun (about an hour's drive from Chiang Mai city which we had to top-up the original cost ). It was a good suggestion and very interesting experience with the local sights, sounds. We managed to try a selection of food (about 7-8 types) throughout the day, some dishes are unlikely to be found in the city. Eddie also brought us to the Hari Phun Chai museum and a couple of temples. Given that it was a private tour, we were free to decide what and how long we wanted to spend at each location. Khun Eddie also gave us some good restaurant suggestions for when we returned to the city.Interesting experience food tour local mkt

I cannot say enough amazing things about Eddie. He showed us some of the best food in the city that we would have never found on our own. We had so much fun and ate so well, we took 2 more tours with him! Eddie is the nicest and most outgoing guy, you will not be disappointed with his tour. If you eat too much (..you will), have an extra day, and like working out- ask him to take you to a real Muay Thai class! Miss you, Eddie!!BEST TOUR EVER!

After plans fell through with another agency, my family last minute booked a trip with Naphat to Chiang Rai- and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was so accommodating to all of our needs and allowed us flexibility to craft our own schedule, prioritizing the sights we wanted to see. We visited the blue and white temples, both of which she had a wealth of information for. She was able to share so much insight about Thai history and cultural beliefs and practices, also the symbolism present in both of the temples. We would have had such a stunted experience at these places without her guidance. I can also say her presence is very friendly and warm (and she is so patient!) - it is quite enjoyable to pass the day with her. Also no worries for language barriers, as her English is exceptional. She communicates everything very well and it is easy to understand her. She went above and beyond to be helpful towards us and make sure we had a one-of-a-kind experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone! So many thanks, Naphat!Inspiring journey with a fantastic guide!

We had the best time with Purichat (Mae) who weaved stories from the past and present to bring much soul, depth, and life to the many places we visited. She was comprehensive in her sharing and very thoughtful in ensuring our needs were met throughout the tour. Every moment was well-spent and we left with a deeper appreciation of Chiang Mai. It’s certainly a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Mae-gical

It’s my first time booking on this site and everything went well. Our tour guide’s name was Ae and she was awesome. Not only was she very informative about the local area, but also good with kids. The food on the tour was amazing. It gave us a chance to try a bunch of local places without us having to try to find them ourselves. We will go back to eat at several of the places before we leave and go back home. Do yourself a favor and book the tour with Ae. You will not regret it. Awesome experience and great food!

I will preface my review by stating that this was the 4th Withlocals tour we had booked in Thailand and the previous 3 tours were all stellar, 10 out of 10 experiences. Because of that, we had extremely high hopes for our final Withlocals tour in Chiang Mai. We met Richard for the Night Markets & Street Food tour on a Sunday evening, which we booked specifically because the Chiang Mai night market is a huge event that night of the week. After meeting our guide Richard, he walked us to the Chang Phuak Market. At that one location we sampled 4 dishes over the span of 40 minutes. Richard then guided us toward the night market which was just a few blocks south and offered us one final dish at a stop along the way. We arrived at the night market 70 minutes after our tour began and Richard then parted ways with us. We had booked him for a 150 minute tour. We had fully expected to see some of the night market with our guide as that was explicitly stated in the name of the tour. That did not happen. The other 3 Withlocals tour guides we booked in Thailand over the previous week guided us for the full length of time stated in the descriptions of their tours. This tour lasted for less than half of the time it was advertised to be. Incredible let down

We loved our tour with Ae. She took us around to all of the off the beaten path places where the locals eat (which is exactly what we asked for). We got to try a lot of different foods that we would never have tried on our own, and she gave us some great background on the history of Chiang Mai in the process. We loved trying so.many things (it was really fun to go through the market and have her show us how to pick out and eat some different fruits than we get at home...) We had a great evening, and would definitely recommend a tour with Ae to give you a thorough orientation of the Chiang Mai Street food scene. A definite highlight!Local food with a friend!

We had a fantastic full daytrip to Doi Inthanon guided by Minty and her mother! They are the kindest people and took such good care of us, providing us with snacks and cold water throughout the day and drove us in their very comfortable van through the national park. Minty is very knowledgable and we learned a lot about both the culture of the local populations and about nature. If you have a chance to book a tour with Minty - just do it, you won’t regret it!Best day trip to Doi Inthanon with Minty

Ratana was sweet, fun, very knowledgeable particularly about the temples and city history. She was kind and chatted to all our family including our children. This tour focussed mainly on the several Buddhist temples that we visited, so if that’s what you mainly want then this tour is fine. The only reason we have to mark the tour with Ratana down was that we paid for a 3 hour tour (which isn’t cheap for 5 people) but it wrapped up just under 2.5 hours. If it’s a 2.5 hour tour it should be sold as that with the price relative.

We had a wonderful time being shown around by Purichat (aka May). It was fascinating to see the aspects of the city we would never have found on our own. Purichat is a local born and bred, and knows the city inside and out. She’s very friendly, speaks great English, enjoys sharing her city, and, as our adventures trying local fruits in a market proves, is maybe a little mischievous as well. 😀 As we’d already been to one place she was planning to take us, she quickly adapted the tour and took us to a new site. We’d happily recommend this tour and Purichat as a tour guide. A fascinating tour of Chian Mai.

We had the pleasure of a memorable 3 hours with our guide Naphat. During this tour we would visit several venues where we would taste 5 (or more) dishes. Naphat informed us that we would be tasting Chiang Mai's signature street food and that all the vendors had been vetted for their quality. We began with a tasting of arguably Chiang Mai's famous street food Khao Soi Gai. We also purchased some Khao Kha Moo and sat down to eat. They were both delicious and perfectly represented the amazing complex flavours in Thai cuisine. I have to say that the Khao Kha Moo was my favourite with its delectable gooey gelatinous pork melting in our mouths. Next we visited a local food market where we purchased some Sai Oua (Pork Sausage) and Chiang Mai's street food version of KFC. We stood on a bridge looking over Chiang Mai's night time lights twinkling over the river while we ate our delicious food with some sticky rice. Naphat has a infectious charismatic personality and we found ourselves deep in philosophical conversation between mouthfuls of delectable Thai street food. We thoroughly recommend Naphat. You will love her company and the food that she presents.Chiang Mai never tasted better

Minty is a wonderful guide and easily accommodated when a sudden rain storm hit where she took us to the Chiang Mai Museum until the rain passed. Minty had a fantastic local knowledge and gave us some hints and tips for visiting Chiang Mai's other areas. We thoroughly recommend Minty when you are in Chiang Mai for a friendly local who can show you the city sights.Wonderful tour with Minty

My daughter and I had the most special day with Naphat. We wanted to visit and learn more about the temples in/around Chiang Mai and she took us on a lovely tour through the Old City and to a few spots outside. She has such a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much about each temple as well as Buddhism and Thailand as a whole. She created a very meaningful connection with us and we had many conversations that gave us new perspectives. We also never felt rushed and she welcomed us to ask questions and take our time. Our hearts are full from this day and will cherish these memories. We are so glad we decided to take her tour instead of the more generic tours within the city. We highly recommend booking with Naphat!

Although there were several highlights as we walked around the old city and chatted, the real gem of the Chiang Mai tour was Naphat herself. Her enthusiasm, historical knowledge and explanation of Buddhist teachings made the afternoon unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour with Naphat. A fun and enlightening tour with Naphat

He also took us to a local place (open for 40 + years) where they served the BEST mango sticky rice! He then helped us with booking a customized tour for the next day which took us to see various temples (with an ex/monk as guide) elephants (ethically) and a small village of Kayan/karen peoples which was interesting and enlightening!

My cousin and I had the best half-day introduction to Chiang Mai, thanks to MInty. In an afternoon, she walked us across the backlanes Old Town, offered us highlights of popular temples with an in-depth visit of the most breath-taking one (IMHO! :D) and finished off with an extremely comfortable drive in Minty's luxury van to the Chinatown Night Market / Flower Market PLUS a secret roof-top, birds-eye view of Chiang Mai along the river that we most certainly would have not discovered on our own. We appreciated that she was able to tweak the programme en route once she learned more about us (foodies!) and accommodated pit-stops along the way (coffee! fruit! glutinous rice snacks! braised pork rice!) that personalised this for us and really added value to the experience. We paid for all the extra eats, of course. The best introduction to Chiang Mai

What can we say about Naphet ? We met as planned on Wednesday morning and were very excited to begin our tour of the hidden Gems of Chiang Mai. Within 5 minutes we knew we had met one of them! Naphet is exceptional with her kindness, insight, and knowledge, she patiently educated us in Buddhism and Thai Culture. Each temple we visited was special and she explained why as well as the historical background of Chiang Mai. Under her guidance we became comfortable paying our respects correctly to the Buddha and the Monks. In one temple we received a blessing from the Monk and in another we got the opportunity to hang a wish like the local Thai people . We feel very lucky to have met Naphet. Without this tour we would have been wandering around on our own trying to gain an insight into the Thai way of life. To conclude our tour she brought us around the local market , explaining the different foods and produce that are available . The variety was amazing, and new to us. We concluded the tour with lunch in the market with the local people. Thank you Naphet you were above and beyond our expectations . We highly recommend Naphet as a tour guide especially for those curious about Thai Culture and History. Peter and Caroline 21st May 2025

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our food tour guide, Ae, in Chiang Mai! From the moment we met, she was incredibly kind and patient, especially with our 5-year-old. When our little one accidentally lost his toy jeep at the market and was visibly upset, she handled the situation with such care and understanding. To our surprise, later that evening, she thoughtfully arranged for a jeep to be sent to our hotel — a truly kind gesture that touched us all. Throughout the tour, Ae took us to local markets, introducing us to a variety of interesting and delicious foods. She was more than happy to accommodate my husband's request to try a dry noodle place, taking us to her personal favorites — which turned out to be some of the best food we had during our trip! Her passion for the local cuisine really shone through, making the experience not just tasty but also authentic. Ae was funny, charismatic, and engaging, making the entire tour enjoyable and memorable for our family. Her warmth and flexibility made us feel like we were exploring Chiang Mai with a friend rather than just a guide. We highly recommend Ae to anyone looking for a genuine, fun, and memorable food adventure in Chiang Mai. Thank you, Ae, for making our trip so special!Authentic, warm & memorable -thank you Ae!

Having visited Chiang Mai on several occasions but have never had a more fulfilling day than when I spent time with Ratana. She has lived in Chiang Mai all her life and it shows. Her smile is as infectious as her personality! My request to her was a day of immersion into the local community and culture, away from the typical “tourist” atmosphere, and she delivered! I was able to get a feel for the logistical aspects of the overall city and visit some smaller Wats and villages as well. I was able to see the local markets and how the locals traded, she explained the proper etiquette when shopping and was able to communicate with the vendors to help me understand the different foods and their applications. If you’re looking for a wonderful way to spend a day and get to know Chiang Mai do not hesitate to reserve Ratana. 😎 🙏 A PERFECT day in Chiang Mai !

Our local host was Ae. She was fabulous right from the start. Connecting as soon as the booking was confirmed even if it was a month away! On the actual day of the tour, she was on time and energised to go! We stopped at the local market for coffee and she even got us snacks for the ride. Exploring Doi Ithanon was quite magical, the waterfalls, the hike around the natural environment together with a local tribe guide as well, was eye opening. Ae shared her knowledge of the various plants and animals occupying the forest. The twin pagodas were stunning and we ended at the highest point in Thailand. She treated us to lunch even though that was not included in the booking and got us souvenirs to bring back home. We could not have asked for more! Ae was more like a friend than a guide and we would definitely recommend her for those who would prefer a more personalised experience. Ae was a great choice indeed!
