“Very disappointing experience. We had very high expectations for this tour. Watching the sunrise at a famous temple with a former monk sounded like a unique, spiritual, and meaningful experience. Unfortunately, the reality was completely different. The entire tour felt poorly organized from the very beginning. We were not properly informed about how to dress, which is extremely important when visiting temples. Everything felt rushed, commercial, and forced — not spiritual at all..

“This tour was lovely. The drive up to Doi Suthep was brilliant in our Red Van, lots of switchbacks, and views of Chiang Mai, en route. Our guide, Bright, helped to understand the symbolism in the carvings etc. at the Temples, and talked to us about some aspects of Buddhism as well, which was interesting to know. We were part of a group of 6, just right. We had a 2-3 km through the woodlands, past old temples and water falls. Great half day with Bright.”
