Toni_G, Nov 2022
Due to the fact that it was a Monday and the arts & cultural center was closed, our guide took us to several craft businesses. The ruins were amazing, people were so welcoming. Loved the umbrella business. Pong was the perfect guide. She was very knowledgeable, entertaining and easy to talk to.

Annoyingly advertise a tour, accepted my booking and then cancel it saying they need at least two people
Ahat21, Dec 2021
I was really annoyed with them. They advertised availability and allowed me to book a tour the day before and pay for one person. They then said they can't do it as they need at least two people! Why advertise and let me book? So annoying! I am now trying to get my money back from Viator who are saying no as I cancelled within 24 hours. The booking was made within 24 hours and the tour operator asked me to cancel!

Dear Guest, Thanks for your review. Firstly it says on the tour website and I quote “This tour needs a minimum of 2 people to operate. Single travellers may book and IAsia will advise you if the tour will run 2 days before”. Secondly you were also given a refund and this has processed. I am sorry you did not notice that your money was returned and the wording on the website. Regards. Nick.
fascinating morning out to old Chiang Mai
vietjetman, Nov 2019
This is the site of an ancient city which was the capital before Chiang Mai (which our guide informed us) It was abandoned many years ago due to flooding as it was too close to the river side. The guide him was so full of information, we explored the fields that surround the current temple and see the many ruins of temples and other buildings. Makes a great day of exploration of the area. The temple is very beautiful and there is the opportunity to relax there at one of the cafes which we did. An interesting day out away from Chiang Mai city and I Asia staff were very helpful.
