A perfect half day tour! - Our tour guide went by ‘Banana’ and he was absolutely wonderful! Born in Bangkok and residing in Chiang Mai for 40 years, his knowledge of the different city sites and Wats was vast and in depth. His timing is perfect ensuring enough experience at each stop without drawing it out. The Silver Temple and Wat Chedi Luang are simply mesmerizing and a final stop in Chinatown allowed for some great snack and souvenir purchases. Highly recommend for a GREAT morning tour of Chiang Mai.
