What a wonderful night
We had a wonderful evening with Ann. It was very interesting and we got to learn so many interesting things about Chiang Mai, but also about other parts of Thailand. Ann gave us so many great recommendations and we were able to try so many great new things.
We felt very comfortable with Ann and it was a great tour throughout. The next time we are in Chiang Mai we will definitely book another tour with Ann.

Best way to visit Doi Suthep
Worth the early morning start... a temple visit guided by Kit is a must do in Chiang Mai - He has excellent English and gives his personal insights into the Buddhist way of life.
Early morning ensures the temple isn't busy, and the coffee and visit to the jungle temple makes a great morning trip.

The Perfect Day for Me
My morning with Kit was really wonderful. He shared a lot about his life as a monk and I talked about what was going on in my life too. At the temple, I loved the giving food to the monks ceremony. Seeing the care that Kit took to make sure each monk got the food that would please them really made an impact on me (the kids got chicken wings). And sharing the sunrise with him was special. I mostly appreciated his asking me questions we could both equally weigh in on like what's most important in life, gives most satisfaction, parenting things, etc. It made for the kind of conversation I wanted to be having on this trip. Thanks Kit, you're a Sweetie!
