Andrea C.
“Great Two Days - Temples, Waterfalls, Cave, Mae Kampong Village & City Tour”
We customized our two days with Petch to purposely remain somewhat in the local vicinity within an hour's drive. There's a lot to explore. Petch picked us up from the airport and we started our tour immediately by visiting several temple complexes and two waterfalls. Our next day was a tour of the Chiang Mai (old city) & temples, followed by visiting Mae Kampong Village and a cave. Petch is a very consciencious and safe driver, and his vehicle (SUV) is relatively new, very clean and comfortable. Petch's english is very good, however he is a little shy at first, but once you get to know him, he begins to relax and becomes more talkative. If you're expecting someone who talks non-stop and is chatty through-out the whole day and car ride, this is NOT how Petch behaves. Petch is a licensed tour guide for the region and knows his history and culture, but you might have to initiate the questions; however when you do, the information flow freely. Petch can also advise you where to eat/drink and what he would consider safe for visitors. Enjoy your day(s) with Petch and if you want, he would be able to recommend a great Cabaret Show in town.

“Day trip to Chiang Rai temples”
The day with Petch could not have been better. He communicated well prior to the trip. His car was very comfortable and in good condition. Most of all Petch is very personable and speaks excellent English. He is knowledgeable about the temples and makes certain you have an enjoyable visit!
