What people love about Private Tours in Northern Thailand
Guide: Bam was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Had good recommendations on the food and treats we should try. Attractions: Of course there were temples on the itinery and the ones we went to were definitely worth our time for the artwork and/or scenic views (White temple is a must-see). Also a fun boat ride along the Mekong seeing Laos and Myanmar. Lodging: Really nice resorts for both cities: The Rim Resort Chiang Mai on the west side of the Old City (inside the moat) and the Legend Chiang Rai right along the River Kok. Both are a bit far from the night market but it's a cheap cab/tuk tuk ride or a decent walk to walk off the meal. Meals: dinners weren't included but that's actually a positive because it gave us the opportunity to venture out to the local night markets where all the tourists went about.

November through February marks Northern Thailand's prime touring season with mild temperatures and minimal rain.
