“This was such a wholesome day with such beautiful animals. They are well loved and taken care of which I was so happy to see. A must for anyone in Phuket. Rudi was a great guide too!”
Watch sunrise at Doi Suthep, walk to jungle temple Wat Pha Lat, and explore Wat Umong on a small-group Chiang Mai tour.
“James was so amazing!!!! He taught us all the basics of Buddhism which I had never learned and they were patient when my partner and I showed up a few minutes late.”
Reach Maya Bay before the crowds, swim at Pileh Lagoon, snorkel with reef sharks, and choose a half or full-day Phi Phi speedboat tour.
“Great value for money since the price included the national park fee. Boat was fast and got us to all the must see spots very quickly. Took a longtail tour the day before and this was like riding in a rolls Royce after that”
See Doi Suthep at sunrise, join a monk alms ceremony, visit jungle temples, and enjoy breakfast with an experienced local guide.
“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.. There was no real sense of peace, connection, or authenticity. The temples themselves were beautiful and impressive, but sadly, that was the only positive part. The guide often left us alone without explanations, c...”
Watch sunrise at Doi Suthep, chant with monks, give alms, meditate, and visit Pha Lat and Wat Umong with a former monk guide.
“Non was great fun & very knowledgeable. He definitely added to the experience. We really enjoyed visiting the temple and seen Chiang mai at night & then at sunrise. The trip was really smooth & well thought out. There was a slight change to our plan due to it been the monks holy day & we didn’t get the chance to do the meditation but I must say although I was looking forward to that it didn’t really matter as the guide made the day.”
Explore Bangkok’s Wat Kheak market, prepare four Thai dishes, and enjoy a small-group cooking class with hands-on instruction.
“It was so much fun. The food was amazing. We did the morning class and ate breakfast first. I suggest you don't eat first because you make multiple courses and get full. Our instructor was great. The school was organized and clean.”
Explore Phi Phi by speedboat from Phuket with a sunrise stop, Maya Bay, snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, and a small group of 20 or fewer.
“Great experience, great staff. Good commentary, they are very helpful getting on and off the boat, and in and out of the water. We chose the photographer which ended up being well worth the extra money. You book at the start of the tour. Thoroughly recommended this group.”
Visit Chiang Mai’s jungle Wat Pha Lat and golden Doi Suthep on a guided half-day tour with temple insights, views, transport, and water.
“Very beautiful. Guide PhonPhon was very attentive and helpful during the trip”
Cycle Chiang Mai’s Old City past temples, gates, markets, and quiet lanes on a relaxed four-hour morning or night tour.
“We were unexpectedly lucky to be able to go on the bike tour just the two of us with our guide Mai. She carefully guided us through the traffic and planned the perfect tour for us European "right-hand drivers." Mai has tireless patience, answered all our questions, and even introduced us to Thai temple culture along the way. At the market, we sampled Thai specialties and received recommendations for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Mai, always felt safe, and gained insight into the old town of Chiang Mai in a very relaxed manner. We highly recommend this provider and would like to thank Mai once again. Übersetzt mit…”

“Whilst we didn’t like the first snorkelling site as it was very crowded, the other spots were incredible with such a diverse range of fish. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip: 3 snorkel sites, guide took great pics on the go pro, and a leisurely hour on a secluded beach before sunset. Excellent value for money!”
Cook six Thai dishes after a local market and organic garden visit in Chiang Mai, with hotel transfers, air conditioning, and recipes to take home.
“well paced for cooks and beginners alike. liked that they explained the ingredients and explained what could be used in other countries. Great choice for a fun and friendly activity to help you show off you Thai cooking skills back home.”
Feed, walk with, make herbal medicine for, and bathe elephants on a humane half-day morning program from Chiang Mai.
“Amazing, our guide was so informative, expressed how much he cared for the elephants and it’s the elephants happiness before the tourists which is exactly how it should be. It was an amazing, so surreal day and couldn’t express in words how much we enjoyed it.”
