Full description

This is a 5-hour experience from Chiang Mai, built around บ้านน้ำใส (MaeWang River House) and Wat Phra That Doi Kham. It is run by TripGuru Thailand, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Arashiyama, on Kyoto's western edge, is the bamboo grove, the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river, the gardens of Tenryu-ji and the monkey park on the hill above. The bamboo path is about 500 metres and is photographed empty in every guidebook because those photographs are taken before 7:30; by mid-morning it is a procession. Rickshaw runs, the Sagano scenic railway along the gorge, and boat rides down the Hozu rapids all start here. Autumn colour peaks in the second half of November and cherry blossom around the first week of April.

The price covers Hotel pick up and drop off, tour guide, Air-conditioned vehicle, Drinking water and Insurance. It does not cover Personal Expenses and Meals, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Chiang Mai. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TripGuru Thailand before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chiang Mai
The price does not cover personal expenses and meals. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Shoulders and knees covered, for men and women, and no ripped jeans, vest tops or leggings; the Grand Palace turns people away at the gate and hires out sarongs. Shoes come off in every building with a Buddha image, so slip-ons save time. Sit with your feet pointing away from the Buddha and do not climb on any statue for a photo.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
