Wuthikorn (Boy) was a great guide for our full day trip to Doi Inthanon. I let him know in advance that my party might not be able to do a strenous hike (which it sounded like in the description) and he reassured us that we would be fine. There was only one short uphill section, but otherwise it was a nice (mostly downhill) walk and the views were amazing. We have been to Thailand before and we wanted a local perspective and we were able to have great conversations and insights from Boy on the current realities of Thai people and the Karen tribe who we visited. We also appreciated that he brought us to the 'less touristy' stop overs for food, but we went to a more local spot as well as a very impressive coffee stop at a gas station(!) It was rainy season in July so we weren't sure what to expect, but the rains made Doi Inthanon even more beautiful though we had no visibility and a lot of rain at the Twin Pagodas. Overall, it was still worth doing even in July rainy season - and the secret waterfalls at the end was magnificent. Definitely recommend Boy as your guide.

Our guide was phenomenal, bringing the heart of the local culture to life! He introduced us to inspiring local women, sharing their daily routines and traditions, which gave us a deep appreciation for their way of life. We savored authentic local dishes at a charming spot with stunning views, immersing us in the region’s flavors and hospitality. The breathtaking waterfalls he took us to felt like a sacred part of the land’s story. Every moment was enriched by his passion for the community’s customs and warmth, making this cultural experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Uthaiwan is the best!
She was full of knowledge, kind, flexible, thoughtful, and funny. She is great at her job and loves people and engaging them. She is passionate about food and her culture and is proud to share what she knows. She was eager to answer all of our questions and gave us great tips and insight into the rest of our two week thailand trip. She even gave us Thai fans and some local fruit and snacks for our upcoming road trip through Thailand.
