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

Purichat (May) was a wonderful host, last minute booking and was brilliant, took us to some lovely temples and very knowledgeable. If we came to Chiang Mai again we would have no hesitation in booking again with May. Short stay in Chiang Mai

Purichat is an expert and passionate guide. We visited Chiang Mai's old town with her, and it was a wonderful morning. In addition to providing information about the city and the temple, she also shared some very interesting facts about Buddhism.Purichat is a great 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

May (Purichat) was a wonderful guide who took us to so many interesting places. She was very flexible in adding an extra stop requested by my husband and she suggested an additional short hike that we really enjoyed. She is friendly and very knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed our day with her. Amazing day in Doi Inthanon

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.

May was a great tour guide. She was hugely flexible with her time the day of our tour since a couple of my boys got sick. So we rescheduled the second half of our tour for the late afternoon and she was incredibly generous with her time and knowledge. We thank her many times for a wonderful day in Chiang Mai.Great Tour and Flexibility

We had an amazing experience with Purichat. She was an amazing tour guide and we got to experience a side of Chiang Mai that we would not have otherwise experienced. We got to taste delicious foods and fruits from street vendors. She also gave us some history for some of the spots we visited. I would highly recommend Purichat as a tour guide. Night market and street food tour

Great walking tour around Chiang Mai from Purichat - who told us many interesting facts about Northern Thai culture as well as walking us around interesting sites to see - would highly recommend Knowledgeable Local Tour

I recently had the pleasure of exploring Chiang Mai with Purichat and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve had. From the moment we met, she was not only friendly and welcoming, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history, culture, and hidden gems. Purichat took the time to explain the significance of each place, from the ancient temples. What really stood out was their ability to connect the past with the present, offering fascinating insights into how the local traditions are still very much alive today.Informative and nice tour
