We had an absolutely wonderful time on the all-day "Doi Suthep & Inthanon National Park Day Tour". Our guide, Maggie, could not have been nicer. She was genuinely excited to share her knowledge and love of Thai culture, history, and religion as we visited the beautiful temples and nature sites on the tour. And she's a great photographer to boot--she knew exactly where to set up the best Instagram-ready shots, if that's your bag. The van was quiet, comfortable and air-conditioned and our driver Ut navigated the sometimes windy roads without raising my pulse rate. The tour included a hearty, delicious Thai lunch in a lovely local restaurant at the foot of the Inthanon hills. Even though I had to catch the overnight train to Bangkok right at the time the tour was due to end, Maggie made sure that we were able to see everything without ever making us feel rushed. We had plenty of time for relaxing, souvenir hunting, and sipping delicious northern Thai coffee. We're already planning a return visit to go on one of her hiking tours!

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!

We used I Asia Thailand (we used them last year) and we rented a van with guide Woody and driver. We requested Woody after good comments and feedback. We did a 8 hour day trip and they were punctual, dressed well, excellent English and very informative. We started from Patong and made our way north before stopping for lunch and then east road back to the south to the many view points. The van was clean with great aircon and wifi!!!. We also had our own hand sanitiser and also wipes throughout the day. I would suggest and recommend I Asia Thailand to any family and friends. We would happily use their services again!

This was a wonderful day-trip with an interesting variety of stops. We were picked up at our hotel in a nice air-conditioned and comfortable mini-van. Our tour had a total of 8 persons. We visited the beautiful mountainous region of northern Thailand. The temperatures were much cooler up there. We went to the highest spot in Thailand, took a short jungle walk, visited the stunning twin pagodas that were built for the former king and queen, visited a Hill Tribe Village where we ground and tasted coffee and then we went to an incredible waterfall. Somewhere in there we were also treated to a delicious lunch. All sights were very picturesque and emblematic of the northern Thailand culture and landscape. This tour with Touring Center was made especially nice because of our very well educated and professional guide, Mr. John, who gave us a running history lesson about the Pagodas, the hill tribes, and the culture of Thailand. He did a fantastic job. I would recommend this to tour to my friends.
