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!

For a trip in 2/19 Spent a great afternoon with Kai, who not only showed us some off-the-beaten-track gems but provided great tips to find vegetarian food so we could feel more comfortable exploring and trying things on our Thailand vacation. Loved being able to see a variety of places and the tour was well-paced for a hot chiang mai afternoon but participants should still prepare for a bit of walking. Curious carnivores would also enjoy this tour. Lastly I would recommend that vegetarian/vegans in schedule this tour early in yr trip bc you can put Kai's tips to best use

07.00 Pick up from hotel to Wat Rong Khun is a unique temple stands out through the white color and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white color signifies the purity of Buddha. It was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thai visual artist. Wat Rong suea ten or Blue Temple, it’s just as striking, painted in an eye-catching blue with overlays of gold embellishments. The centerpiece inside the great hall, is a huge statue of a White Buddha in sitting position surrounded by contemporary Buddhist art in a modern style. Chiang Rai's Big Buddha for its large white statue that is actually a representation of the goddess of Mercy, Wat Huay Pla Kung is a quite recent temple, became a must-see place for any visit. The temple is also contain 9-storey pagoda that you can climb to the top for a view of the surroundings. A staircase with impressive dragon heads goes up. Black House Museum feels hidden and mysterious place with new discoveries round.

This private tour was excellent! We got a thorough history of the locality. The walking was pleasant and not difficult. There were a couple tricky spots and stairs that may be difficult for some travelers, but there are railings and our guide was ready to assist at any moment. Would definitely recommend. It was worth the extra for a private tour because we could choose how much time we spent at each location without worry. (We actually went in January 2020 but I forgot to leave a review)
