Full description

This is a 4.5-hour experience in Chiang Mai. It is run by LOCAL CNX. TOURS 99 CO., LTD., 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.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Air-conditioned vehicle, driver and Bua Thong National Park fee. It does not cover Guide, Personal expenses, Food and drinks and Child seat, 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.

LOCAL CNX. TOURS 99 CO., LTD. sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with LOCAL CNX. TOURS 99 CO., LTD. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

  • Air-conditioned vehicle (if option selected)

Easy transportation to Buatong “sticky” waterfalls! Comfy and air conditioned van! We had a little over 2 hours to explore the falls and the national park which was the perfect amount of time for us. Was so much fun and such a highlight! Would highly recommend :)

Easy transfer from my hostel to the waterfalls. I recommend choosing the earlier time, as I was able to enjoy the waterfalls with no crowds! People started flowing in after I had already climbed.

100% worth it, quick drive from old town and such a cool experience. 2 hours is plenty of time. My advice is where there is rope, hold onto it even if you feel like you don’t need it. I hit an algae spot and fell and am grateful I was holding on to rope.

This was a very easy experience, get picked up in a comfortable van with A/C, get dropped off, have around 2 hours to explore the grounds and return. 2 hours is plenty of time and you don’t need a guide as there’s not that much to see! Climb some waterfalls have a great time , easy peasy

Nina was an excellent guide! Very organized, friendly, knowledgeable. The van was comfortable and clean. Great itinerary with the right amount of time at each spot. Good way to see all these places without having to drive yourself. one note - women must cover shoulders and knees at the pagodas, which is not in the description, so just take note.

Great experience overall! The mini-van was new and extremely comfortable. Our driver was friendly, helpful and drove safely. The waterfalls themselves were extremely busy in the afternoon so I’d recommend booking for the mornings.

Just a pick up and drop up service to the amazing Sticky Waterfalls which is all you need. Had 2 hours at the waterfalls which is plenty of time. Recommend booking the morning slot as it was getting increasingly busy as the day progressed and we had the place pretty much ourselves when we first arrived around 9am
