Where does the tour start — do I need to make my own way anywhere?

No. The tour includes hotel pickup from your accommodation in Chiang Mai between 08:00 and 08:30. Simply wait in your hotel lobby 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

What is the difference between the two itinerary options?

Both options visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and the Doi Suthep summit. Option A then continues to Bhubing Palace, a royal winter residence with ornamental gardens. Option B visits a Meo Hill Tribe Village for a cultural encounter with the local highland community.

Can I choose a Chinese-speaking guide?

Yes. All four ticket options are available with either an English-speaking or Chinese-speaking guide — simply select your preference when booking.

Is there a dress code at the temple?

Yes. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is an active place of worship. Visitors are expected to cover their shoulders and knees. Sarongs are sometimes available to borrow at the entrance, but it is best to come prepared.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

In the event of extreme weather conditions, the itinerary may be adjusted or the tour cancelled. If your tour is cancelled due to weather, please contact the customer service number on your e-voucher.

Do children need their own ticket?

Children must be accompanied by a paying adult at all times throughout the tour. Check the ticket options for child pricing when selecting your booking.
