Our full-day trip to Doi Inthanon with Boy was truly unforgettable. From the start, he demonstrated incredible patience and warmth, especially with our kid, making the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable for the whole family. His genuine friendliness and attentiveness made us feel like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a guide.
Boy’s depth of knowledge about the area was impressive — he shared fascinating insights about the mountains, flora, and local culture, enriching our understanding of this beautiful landscape. He took us to some truly breathtaking sights, from stunning viewpoints to lush forests, all curated with care to showcase the best that Doi Inthanon has to offer.
What really set this trip apart was how thoughtfully Boy included unique experiences, like taking us to an incredible mountain coffee spot that felt wonderfully off the beaten path. It was a highlight to enjoy fresh, locally brewed coffee in such a serene setting, away from the usual tourist spots.
Throughout the day, Boy’s charisma and passion for the region shone through, making the journey both educational and fun. We felt immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the mountains, all thanks to his expert guidance and considerate approach. We highly recommend Boy to anyone seeking an authentic, memorable adventure in Chiang Mai’s stunning mountains. Thank you, Boy, for an incredible day!

Wonderful afternoon in Chiang Mai
We had a wonderful afternoon with Boy exploring all of the local Chiang Mai gems - we went to many beautiful temples, had some delicious local food, and learned a lot from Boy - you can definitely tell he is passionate about his home, and we were glad to spend 4 hours seeing such a warm and welcoming city. Highly recommend this tour if you are seeing Chiang Mai for the first time.

Two Picky Eaters, One Amazing Guide!
We had an absolutely fantastic walking food tour with Uthaiwan! My partner and I have very different tastes—and to make things trickier, neither of us eat spicy food—so we weren’t exactly the easiest guests to please. But Uthaiwan handled it all with such patience, grace, and a great sense of humor. She customized the experience effortlessly, introduced us to delicious dishes we wouldn’t have found on our own, and made the entire evening feel like we were out with a local friend. Her warmth and deep knowledge of Thai cuisine and culture truly elevated the experience. Highly, highly recommended!

A PERFECT day in Chiang Mai !
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.
😎 🙏
