Tong is the best guide - Today my husband and I went on a full-day private tour with Tong to Doi Inthanon. You should book this tour with him if you like 1) snacks and drinks included, 2) photographs in all the best spots with wide angle and portrait mode, 3) funny jokes and fun facts about Thailand, 4) interesting conversation about current events and political climate and economy, 5) thoughtful touches like picking us up from the other end of the lunch market after we walked the length of it and bringing TP + hand sanitizer for the toilet breaks. Mr Tong helped me enjoy a delicious lunch between our treks by ensuring the food we ordered was safe for my gluten sensitivity. He suggested what I ordered and communicated thoroughly with the restaurant staff, observing them to make sure it was done correctly - if you had a food allergy, you know how much psychological safety this brings, especially traveling abroad when you don’t read the language. The local guide Mr Cher (sorry if I misspelled) gave us so many magical moments by showing us birds and butterflies, and performing different funny tricks with leaves (making a bird call, making a thunder clap, and a leaf pinwheel). This duo was the perfect tour guide team for our honeymoon trip to Chiang Mai nature.

Amazing tour with our excellent guide Tong! - Our tour with Tong was the highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai. He was highly attentive, kind, and entertaining throughout the trip. We learned so much about Thailand and appreciated his fun energy and sense of humor. His English is excellent. We especially appreciated his help communicating with restaurant staff to accommodate my wife’s gluten allergy. We had an amazing time on the tour and highly recommend our tour guide to anyone!

Amazing Birthday Experience - We scheduled this tour for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Everything was wonderful and Yut was an amazing guide. The hikes were challenging but totally manageable and worth the trek up the mountain for the spectacular view. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and authentic and it was nice to get away from the city. This was 100% worth the entire day commitment and I would do it again in a minute.

Spectacular treks with fun relaxed guides making it a very enjoyable day - This tour was the highlight of our trip - friendly and knowledgeable guide with great sense of fun and very considerate (rice based cookies were delicious). Comfortable car and very safe driving. Spectacular waterfall. Good pace for the morning trek through jungle to the view points. Excellent choice for lunch spot in local restaurant with freshly made to order dishes. The afternoon trek by waterfalls and rice fields was fantastic. Our local guide Mr Cher with a big smile found all sorts of wildlife and amused us with many musical instruments and toys he made from the vegetation. We learned so much and in a very relaxed way and have many photos of us both as a reminder of an excellent day.

2 different trails fabulous day out - Tong along with our driver gave us a fabulous day out which exceeded our expectations. The treks were both well worth while and Mr Cher, the local guide who joined us in the afternoon was great fun. Thank you so much. We highly recommend Pagoda View Tours and in Particular Tong and his team

Detox from the hustle and bustle - We chose a private tour and was blessed with a very good tour guide called Khun Tong. He was very patient in explaining to us and giving us insights on the trek. He was also very funny and joked with us all the time. He took care of us during the whole trekking activity and made sure to pre-empt us what to look out for. View along the trek was breathtaking. There were points during the trek that were quiet and serene enough it felt like forest bathing (or some form of city detox)!

Doi Inthanon - 2 hikes coffee and lunch - The hikes were great and we managed to see some incredible views and a green viper! Yut was very informative and was a great guide.

Intimate experience with local tour guides - Our tour guide, Yut, was very funny and insightful. He gave a great nature and cultural experience of the tallest point in Thailand. To top it off, he gave us lots of snacks, toilet paper and cold water too throughout the trip. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing Day in Doi Inthanon - Incredible day hiking in Doi Inthanon National Park - we did Kew Mae Pan & Pha Dok Siao trails with Yut as our guide. Pha Dok Siao had some incredible waterfalls, lots of wildlife, & ended with incredibly fresh coffee & maybe the best food we've had since we arrived in Thailand. Kew Mae Pan was steep but worth it for those views. Yut was an amazing guide from start to finish and we learned a ton through our conversations. Definitely ask for him when you book!

Great 2 hikes - Great 2 hikes, one with awesome views and second with very knowledgeable guide who provided a lot of interesting information.
