Leave Chiang Mai by private air-conditioned car for Pha Chor Canyon and Doi Inthanon National Park. You’ll visit Thailand’s highest point, Wachirathan Waterfall, the King and Queen’s pagodas, and a White Karen village. Guides such as Art, Bird, and Nopphadon tailor the pace, explain local life, and help with photos.

“We had a fantastic day with our guide Art. The canyon was stunning, and the pagolas were really interesting. We went to the highest peak in Thailand and to the waterfall which was huge! Art also took us for lunch, to a local food market where we brought some tasty fruit crisps, and we went to a coffee roastery which was fascinating and where the coffee was delicious. Art was so helpful all day. Everything was organised brilliantly, he took loads of photos for us, and we leaned so much from him about anything and everything we spoke about. I'm so glad we booked this tour and would highly recommend…”
