Sticky waterfalls disaster

The tour was just an overpaid driver and not much of a tour guide. We saw two temples in walking distance from our hotel. And then the waterfall which was ok but not worth a whole day’s trip. Lunch was mediocre. The van was very old and hot.

Response from the operator: All information of the tour explains clearly so please read before do booking. However We did our best to make our customers happy but sure not everybody feel that.

Overpriced driver

This was more of an overpriced driver than a tour. Saw 2 temples very close to our hotel and sticky waterfalls. Lunch was mediocre at best. The van was a bit beat up as well. I do not recommend this tour.

Response from the operator: We have nothing to say for this dissatisfied from our customers. The tour was run as details inform ed, professional guide and driver same person, visit 2 temples in city centre, local lunch as information as well as sticky waterfall. Drinking water and snacks service for your children. This is all the best we can do, satisfy is customers. Anyway thank you for your information we will keep in mind and improve to be better.

Awesome Tour and Awesome Guide!

Joe from GoWithJoe was a fantastic host and guide. We booked quickly when arriving in Chiang Mai and realized that a couple temples listed were quite close to our hotel so we messaged Joe and asked if possible to switch up the temple tour and he was so accommodating. He even asked to adjust the times to avoid the large crowds, which we appreciated! He was very knowledgeable of the temple and, being a native of Chiang Mai, taught us much about the culture. He also introduced us to some Northern Thai cuisine we never heard of at a local spot and it was delicious and included in the tickets. If back, would love to join on one of his sunrise tours in the national park.

Fun waterfalls and a great lunch with temple thrown in.

This was a great tour. We started the day by visiting 2 temples new the city center. Joe walked through the temples with us and gave some insight into their age and what is on the temple grounds. Very interesting. We then went to Namtok Bua Tong-Nam Phu Chet Si National Park. This is where the sticky waterfalls are. It’s about 45 minute drive from the last temple. They are so cool. They look like something you would find in a water park. With the tour all we needed was a towel, camera/phone and swimming suit (and a coverup for my wife when she wasn’t in the water- and you will need it to enter the temples). After the waterfalls we stopped for boat noodles at Joe’s favorite spot. The boat noodles were amazing, He was also nice enough to let me get seconds. We got done eating around 2 pm. After that he took us to where they do handmade Thai silk. You first see a demonstration of how they do it and then they take you into a show room where you can buy materials. It was neat. We didn’t feel pressured at all by Joe to buy anything (even though we did by a few things). Once everyone in the group was ready we went to a place that does silver goods. Again you could see a short demonstration of what they do and then you go into the showroom. Again no pressure from Joe to buy anything. Although the sales people at the showroom aren’t shy about trying to get you to buy something. After that is was back to the hotel. It was a lovely day. I am excited to come and do it again and bring our children.

Very personalised

Joe gave us a great experience. He was informative and very happy to customise the tour for us. The stop for lunch was amazing with Khao soi chicken on the menu! Highly recommend this tour if in Chaing Mai

Response from the operator: Our priority is making our customers getting the best experience of Chiangmai way. We would definitely present a local delicious restaurant to all our customers. Thank you for a great review.

Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

How much does Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall cost?

+

Prices start at $1100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall take?

+

Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.

Is Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Best of Chiangmai day trip Temples and Sticky waterfall start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?

+

On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
