Hi there! Nice to meet you

Kit

My Name is Kit, I come from a small local village in North East Thailand. I became a monk from the young age of 13 where I first lived in a cave in the forest with my grandfather ( who was also monk). I was a practicing monk for 6 years , where I then went to University to complete my bachelor degree in English Tourism.

I will love to share all my stories with you; explore and tell you all about my beautiful country & culture.

From beginning to end, our guide was fantastic. He gave clear and interesting explanations about the temple and its history, making the experience both educational and engaging. Despite the early departure, he drove with great care and safety. What made the tour even more special was that he also showed us some hidden gems along the way, including a unique and lesser-known temple that we would never have discovered otherwise. I especially recommend this tour for families – it’s informative, safe, and full of unexpected highlights.Excellent guide

Our whole family had such a wonderful day with Kit. We really enjoyed his company and stories, and learned a lot about Buddhism and the temples we visited. He's been one of the best tour guides we've had.Kit is one of the best tour guides!

Kit organized the blessing of our 15 years of marriage in Doi Suthep and then we visited the beautiful weather of Wat Phalat. Kit speaks excellent English, is a connoisseur of the Buddhist religion and is a quiet person. We love your energy.Blessing in the family.

The early morning tour with Kit captured the peaceful morning at the temple and allowed us to see the sun rise overlooking Chiang Mai. Kit’s life experience as a monk, along with his fantastic story telling abilities, made for an excellent experience and window into Bhuddist monk life and the history of Chiang Mai. We are grateful we were able to take this tour with Kit.Fantastic temple tour by Kit!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Morgen mit Kit. Eine tolle Stimmung am Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Kit hat uns viel über sein Leben als Mönch erzählt und wie es dazu gekommen ist, was wir super spannend fanden. Alles in allem eine toll durchdachte Tour vom Anfang bis zum Schluss, die ich jedem ans Herz legen kann.Was soll ich sagen 🥰

Kit was so fun!! My parents and I had an amazing morning with Kit visiting temples. He’s so funny and personable and taught us about his own experiences with Buddhism. He also had a comfortable SUV to bring us around. If you’re considering booking a tour, book with Kit! Book Kit!!!

We had a great tour with Kit today who was super punctual at our hotel for the pickup. He explained about the history of Buddhism and was telling us his stories of becoming a monk and you could feel how much he loves to share all his knowledge and the stories with you. Visiting the Doi Suthep Temple in the morning with only very few other visitors around is very special. And of course offering the food to the monks and listening to them singing is also a great experience. Great tour for a tranquil morning

My husband and I had an amazing morning with Kit. He is so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Chiang Mai and Buddhism in general. Cannot recommend this tour enough as a great way to see some beautiful temples and an incredible sunrise before the crowds! Sunrise tempoe
