Chat with Monk
This was an organized tour however, the title of the tour is misleading. There was no meditation with the monk. It was basically a 15-minute chat. We were warned about buying the offerings ahead of time which was nice so we were prepared. It's not a big expenditure so wasn't an issue. It was nice meeting with the monk but the tour is definitely overpriced. Consider the price as what a would be for a private transport and when I say private, it was a small little car that can barely fit four people. The driver was very pleasant and went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. Not sure I would recommend this tour to most.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review we will use that to improve our service for the next time. Please bring your family, in the next visit. We'll be very pleaser to service you again. Warm Regards,

A lovely temple, but tour needs improvements
I have mixed feelings about this trip. The temple on the mountain and the waterfall is really beautiful and the chat with the monk about meditation was very interesting (although short). However, the tour needs some improvements in terms of logistics and communication. First, although the tour guide Kat was friendly, her Enlgish wasn’t very good, so some communication was a bit difficult. For example, it wasn’t clear that I had to bring cash to pay for the food at the market. I think this should be included in the tour fee, or explained properly and perhaps let us choose, carry and present the food for the monk instead of just asking us to pay without much explanation. I was hoping for a group tour, but I was the only one on the tour that day and we finished quite quickly (I had about 1.5hrs at the temple, including the chat with the monk, a short mediation and walk around the temple grounds and waterfall (very beautiful). With some improvements, this could be a really good activity as the setting of the temple is quite stunning.

Amazing experience
Kat was amazing!!! Extremely informative, compassionate, friendly and showed me the time of my life. I would do any tour she is guiding!!! She’s a very special human with a great deal of love for her country. You can’t go wrong with Kat by your side. Thank you so much.

Relaxing, informative half day in Chiang Mai
A lovely relaxing morning. I loved speaking with the Buddhist monk about meditation.. My guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.
via Viator
Serene and fun!
Siripan was an awesome host - she taught me meditation at my own pace and gave me some really great guides to improve my techniques, as well as some great historical/cultural facts about Thailand. And the temples were beautiful; highly recommend!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 10 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 Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand?
+
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 Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day, Monk Chat Meditation Retreat on Waterfall Temple, Chiang Mai, Thailand 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.
