Wit was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to the monastery explaining to us all the ins and outs of a Buddhist monastery. He was very adaptable to our interest and very attentive. He made sure that we get to experience everything that we wanted to. He made sure we have direct access to the monks for the alms, that we see the sunrise, and he explained to us all the details we were interested in. The monastery was absolutely stunning and giving alms to the monks was a great experience. The tour is just as it is described, there is no worry about

our guide Pooh was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the monks ways and the temples we visited. the early start is worth it because we were the only 3 people at the temple for the first hour and got to watch the sun rise over chiang mai city. because you start so early you still have the whole day for more exploring so i highly recommend doing this

Our guide was perfect. A very humble and informative man who told his story and thoroughly explained Buddhism in a well paced and in depth manner. A pleasure to have been accompanied by him.

Guide was a lovely, friendly man but didn't know any real information about the history of the temple so was getting other guides to give us information. The weather was awful which obviously couldn't be helped and no stunning sunrise. Was interesting to see the monks

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.
