We had a great time with Bee and Amon on a half-day cycling tour through the countryside outside of Chiang Rai. The pace was good, with plenty of stops for pictures and water breaks. We had a support truck join us with water and snacks a long the way as well. Most of the route was on paved surfaces, although there is some gravel and some dirt tracks as you go through the rice paddies and fields. This is not a mountainous tour, although there are few small inclines here and there. Bee and Amon were great guides, their English is excellent, and they are very knowledgeable about the area.

Great National Park with lots of wildlife! We saw may species of birds, insects and mammals. The camp site is basic but great fun to stay overnight in a tent with the family. It is a real adventure for kids.

Ms Nok was a lovely tour guide, very pleasant and spoke good English and accommodated well. We had a wonderful time visiting all the temples in the itinerary and you get ample time learning about them from Ms Nok and photo-taking time for each. The reclining Buddha was stunning and enormous in size! Take note that lunch is not included in this package, only bottled water, so bring cash as Nok the guide suggested a few local places and well worth it!

I travelled in a Group of 14 people (including 5 under 10 kids) in Thailand in Genuary. The time we spent in the Chang Mai was an absolute highlight and big parto of it was due to the excellent Guide Narong and the Green Trail Organizations: the excursions were various, very well organized and all defenetly worth. Elephants, kayaking, Palong Villave were my personal top picks. But again, the wise and knolegable wave of Narong was inspiring and made the difference! I defenetly recomend the Organization and Narong in particular. Hope to go back to those beautiful land!

The giant Buddha statue is a MUST to visit the in Phuket. But try to go in the early morning as the sun will rise facing the Big Buddha and you can get a nice picture of the Buddha with clear blue sky behind.
