Based at the Duang Tawan Hotel on Loi Kroh Road in the heart of Chiang Mai, this tour agency specialises in guided sightseeing experiences around the city and broader northern Thailand region. Tours focus heavily on cultural and historical education, with itineraries that typically include visits to notable temples and landmarks. Guides are noted by visitors for their strong English-language skills and their ability to bring local history and traditions to life in an engaging way.

Travellers on half-day tours can expect a well-paced itinerary with informative commentary throughout. The agency also offers longer excursions that venture further afield, including trips to destinations such as the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Red Temple. Visitor experiences are generally positive, with guides praised for being friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. As with any tour operator, it is worth confirming all booking details in advance, as some visitors have noted that customer communication is primarily handled through WhatsApp rather than email.

Reviews from Google

We went on a half day tour with Ooh as our tour guide and Mr B was our driver. I have to say this has been a highlight of our holiday in Thailand. So much information that was so interesting we learnt so much from Ooh. She is a fantastic tour guide easy to understand and so much knowledge. Mr B was an excellent driver we felt very safe and all had a wonderful tour. I recommend this tour highly. Thank you Ooh and Mr B for an awesome experience.

Absolutely great experience. Our tour guide did a amazing job teaching us the wonderful history of Chang Mai. We saw 3 temples and had a wonderful time. Oolala thank you!

Quite a disaster… 1) customer rsvp contact email is not responsive… you can only contact through whatsapp; 2) we booked a tour to visit the white temple, blue temple and red temple but they placed us on a different tour. What you book might not be what you get!!!! 3) no recommendation on appropriate dress code to visit the temples; 4) we waited 40 minutes for the tour pick up. It would be nice to have a more accurate pick up time. 5) a “relaxing and refreshing natural hot spring” in the description was just enough to soak your foot… very confusing tour description all in all. The tour was then operated by Amporn Tours which was not bad, but everything else was poorly managed by Sun Leisure World (the agency).

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Popular Activities Online

Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
