About local Naphat
31 August 2025

We highly recommend Naphat as a local Chiang Mai guide. We enjoyed learning about Buddhism, meditation and the rich history of this part of Thailand. Naphat was so knowledgeable it really enhanced our exploration of Chiang Mai

About local Purichat

Great short tour of Chiang Mai

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.

Short stay in 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.
