Immersive, Easy-Going Tour of Mae Kham Pong Village - Recommend - The reason why me and my friends loved this Mae Kham Pong Village tour was because of our excellent tour guide, Bua. Bua is an excellent communicator, intelligent, knowledgeable, and a warm person to be around. She is a quality professional in her field. I say this especially because our group has interacted with other tour guides for other tours and the level of quality was incomparable to Bua. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The only point of improvement was the Thai cooking class activity. We did not really get to cook; we just helped with momentary stirring, cracking an egg and that was primarily it. The base of the broth and cut veggies were already prepared beforehand. However, it was really nice to not have to cook after our long day. I would suggest reframing how it's advertised online because it's not really a cooking course. The tips I would offer for this tour are: 1. Make sure to wear comfortable attire (e.g. sunhat, socks, etc) and shoes for walking through a forest. 2. Wear insect repellent 3. There's an herbalist guide on the tour too so if you're planning on tipping, as we were, then make sure to bring enough baht for both tour guides.

Off the Beaten Path...in a Great Way! - Get out of the city and spend the day in Mae Kham Pong Village...and the area around it. You won't be sorry....it's a delightful village full of great places to eat and shop and just enjoy the environment. Take a side trip to the falls not far away...or the top of the mountain for a great view...and don't miss touring the temple along the creek. It was one of the best days we spent while we stayed in Chiang Mai.

This a great local experience with fantastic guides - We really enjoyed this experience. Bonvoyage is a local company so you are supporting local entrepreneurs who really know their stuff. The day was relaxed and flexible. We enjoyed being able to tweak the day to our interests. The local guide in Mae Kham Pong was a real kick and so much fun. The hike was easy and informative and doable for most fitness levels. We enjoyed lunch in a local’s home followed by a Thai massage. Local coffee overlooking the valley was a real treat. Communication was quick, clear and positive. I highly recommend this tour.
