Humbling experience!
I am grateful and honoured to have the opportunity to meet and get my sak yant first tattoo from Ajarn Tu. He did it gently and swiftly.. respect! Thank you to Ms. Mind too, I feel included in the whole process; she brings me to the market to buy offering, brought us coffee and lunch for Khao soi after tattoo session. She's explaining clearly about the Lanna culture, history and about Chiang Mai. Thank you ~

Traditional Thai Sak Yant
From start to finish, Ajarn Tu and Mai were extremely professional and provided us with an authentic Thai traditional Sak Yant experience. Mai was excellent at communicating during the booking and planning process making our arrangements. Mai showed promptly at the hotel pickup point and took us to a local Thai market to purchase offerings for Buddha and Ajarn Tu Talking with Mai was very educational on the beautiful drive to the tattoo shop in the countryside. My wife, my daughter, felt very welcome, safe, and clean through the entire day as we all received Sak Yant from Ajarn Tu. If you want Sak Yant from the “real deal”, this is the place to come when visiting Chiang Mai. We will definitely be back to visit Ajarn and Mai in the near future. Amazing experience!!

Authentic and Memorable Sak Yant in Chiangmai
Getting my Sak Yant tattoo from Ajarn Tu was an incredibly special experience for me. I was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t help but cry tears of happiness. It was deeply enlightening, and I know I’ll hold onto that memory forever. I promised myself I wouldn’t get a tattoo unless it was from Chiangmai, and I’m thrilled that it came true—Ajarn Tu exceeded all my expectations. His blessing made me feel so grateful and protected. You could really feel the sincerity and warmth in his prayers during the ceremony; his faith was palpable. Honestly, saying "thank you" doesn’t even cover it—I wish there were more ways to express my gratitude to Ajarn Tu! Also, my tour guide Mind was fantastic. She took great care of me from the moment she picked me up at my hotel, even stopping at a local market to get offerings for my Sak Yant ceremony and Ajarn Tu. She knows so much about the Sak Yant and the culture of Northern Thailand—she’s passionate about tourism and promoting Chiangmai to visitors like me. I like her so much! Her kindness and genuine spirit really stood out. If you’re on the lookout for an authentic Sak Yant tattoo in Chiangmai, I definitely recommend booking this experience!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu cost?
+
Prices start at $162 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 Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu?
+
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 Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu?
+
Around 9 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Mai Sak Yant Tattoo By Ajarn Tu 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.
