TOM was the best tour guide we ever had!! We got picked up 9am sharp by a friendly man named Tom. He spoke great english and told us our itinerary from the beginning. We started with a private elephant tour where we made food, fed and washed two gentle elephants. This was just magical. after we Took a shower, then they made us pad tai for us and we ate together. Next Tom drove us to the tiger kingdom and the entire time he kept us entertained telling us the history of thailand and the different species of the animals we saw and all the vegetation we saw on the road. We found out he lived in the states for a little bit which explained his great english! We saw the tigers spent some time in the cage with them then we Asked tom to drop us off at a famous jewelry store they have in chang mai, he was very accommodating and flexible with our request!!! Last we went to two temples high in the mountains where tom told us more about Buddha and the way of life for Monks while showing us around the temple. We finally bought some souvenirs and Tom dropped us off our hotel. we will never forget this day. Thank you TOM!!! Your the best!!!

We had a fabulous tour of Doi Suthep at sunrise with John! It was SO worth getting up early for to avoid the crowds. We got to hear the monks chanting, watch the sun rise, and explore the temple with next to no other tourists. As amazing as that was, the hidden temple was even better and one of the most peaceful places I ever been. Lastly, the tunnel temple was also spectacular and the history and personal experiences that John provided as a previous life as a monk made the trip! We did it with 4 kids ages 13,11,9,6 and it was totally doable.

We took the sunrise tour in Doi Suthep with Mr. Ata. It was an amazing trip, the atmosphere in the temple in the early morning, with the jungle as a background, birds chirping, monks chanting, all of this really made us understand buddhism even more. Sipohn was very helpful with organizing the trip, we had to personalize the program but it went very smoothly, communication was easy and Mr. Ata was also amazing! He was very knowledgable, he used to be a monk himself and he was explaining everything with enthusiasm. He also prepared alms for us to give them to the buddhost monks in the early morning. He showed us how to pray. All in all, it was an amazing tour, next time in Chiang Mai, we will definitely choose them as our No.1 guides! Thank You for everything!

Tom was absolutely wonderful. He gave me so much history and fascinating information about Thailand in general, as well as the places we visited. The Paddy Rice Fields Terraces of Ban Pa Pong Pieng are worth the trip, and as it is off the beaten path it was quiet, with no other westerners while we were there. Tom went out of his way to look after every need, providing drinks, snacks, and showing me great spots for photography. He even changed our itinerary so that I wouldn't overlap with a different tour I have already booked for another day. I would definitely recommend this trip if you want to visit a very beautiful place that is not on the usual tourist trail.

We spent two days with Ata--one in Chiang Mai and one in Chiang Rai. He was very knowledgable and friendly. Originally from a mountain tribe and having had experience as a novice monk earlier in his life, he was a wealth of interesting cultural information. Also, Untouched Thailand was very flexible in designing the trip that we wanted. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Siphon personally met us at arrival Chiang Rai Airport.
He took us all the best scenes must to see.
He’s well experienced and mostly friendly person.
On the next day we as group traveled to Chiang Mai by road.
Best visiting places were made with Siphon and had great fun.

We wish to thank Siphon again for the wonderful guidance and friendship.
You’re the best Siphon.
Greetings from your Turkish group.

We had Arnon as our guide for the Morning Sunrise Tour. Wonderful tour and no tourist at the temple at this hour which is worth the money in itself. But what really made our tour outstanding was Arnon. He was knowledgeable, very funny, went out of his way to ensure our happiness. In addition his interactions with the young monks, dogs and locals was truly magical to watch.

We booked this company after all the wonderful reviews on TripAdvisor, but they use Phutawan Elephant Camp (an elephant abuser) for tours that include elephants. Our guide was very good and the other activities were excellent, but we cannot recommend a guide service that supports cruelty to animals. Shame on us for not double checking, but we hope the management sees our review and learns that supporting companies that mistreat animals is unprofitable.

Dear clients Thank you very much for your feedback. This review make me get a chance to appeal the true.. I always hear the foreigners complain about the mistreat elephants. We are Thai get sick about this. You are not in the situation as a Thai Mahout you don’t know well . In your mind you think you know but you don’t know at all if you don’t understand the reason why they need to do that. For example i have an elephant i use to use the elephant to plough the land in my rice fields and i do this and learn this from my ancestors you see i am doing that and you think it was mistreat ? I would like to my clients to learn and know the fact of the nature of the elephants in Thailand. I do not feel that the elephants in the camps around Thailand have mistreat. It maybe i saw that since i was born. But i just feel bad when the foreigners come to Thailand get wrong information they act act like they know elephant very very well. And we feel and know they are the real ones whom mistreated from somewhere else ! All of the Mahouts in Thailand they know how to look after their elephants more than us. It is their job. They learn from generation to generation for being with this animals most of their time. Elephants are their family. Any way the elephants are so powerful , smart and big creatures. So you need to know many way to be with them. And you need to adapt your own to your elephants and to the environment , community around if they domestic pets. When you see elephant are chained in camps. It doesn’t meant mistreat. A hook in the Mahout hand. That also doesn’t mean mistreat. Every Mahout know when, how and why they need that in their hand.( Just in case emergency only . it is the same as your car with break you will use it when you need it. I don’t think you will not use your break always when you drive if you do i think you are normal person. ! Whenever you be with the elephant without the Mahout around you or the Mahout no hook. That meant you put yourself in danger with those elephants. You may not realize this because you don't be too long with those animals ( you need to figure it out what can be happen next... . Any way I would like to ask you between the one who stay here all their life and others just come to Thailand for a short time and then spread the words around. Who must know those animal well ? You may not know or hear when the elephant become crazy. Mahouts with hooks in hand are still hardly to control them. People chain their elephants because the elephant stay with the local community and stay in a herd ( group) they can destroy people corps , and hurt the local people or flight each others. Is this mistreat to do that ?. When they are fighting. It is sometimes impossible to stop them even the Mahout have a hook in hand. And how about the Mahout no hook. I don’t have elephant camp but i don’t want to put my clients in this dangerous situation. Some people may thought the elephants always must be calm as their imagination. But need to be with the fact !! Every family with elephants treat their elephant as their family members. They know the elephant support their family. So every camps in Thailand they will try to take care them the best. . Other while the govern of Thailand will take their elephants to the elephant conservation centre. So you don't need to worry . In Thailand we have elephant school , elephant hospital l and elephant lovers they keep on eyes and check all the camps . Every elephant here in Thai land has an ID card as the Thai people. We have law to protect those animals. Please, don’t let anyone give you a brainwash. ! I would like the visitors who come to Thailand stay with the fact. And open you mind for the new culture and respect each other’s Sometimes when the elephants have been trained, it is also seem mistreat in the visitors eyes. Most of the visitors like them and elephant can win their heart as well. For us as Thais we feel we need to learn to be with each other and help each others. After that we can stay together happily. I sometimes thought It is the same as human. We must be wild men if we did not go to school or have been trained. So i don't think that’s too bad or mistreat in some way if you are positive people. ( They know the right way to trains an elephant. It is not the mean way as you heard or thought. They can do the gentle way as training a dog. But they are smart more than dogs , so it is easy to train them if you want... ) So training an elephant is not mistreat but the ones that mistreat are the foreigners who do not know well about fact.) Do you think elephants in Thailand have mistreat by Thai people for many hundreds of years before then visitors now find the way to solve this ? I do not think so. Please, don’t be brainwashed !! Other while your cat and dogs at home must be mistreat too.. ( when you not let them free and stay outside of your house always. It’s the same as elephant should be free in the wild and shouldn’t keep them in the camps or even in the zoo... ) These animals are so beautiful and charming, we need them to get along with well with local community and people. We will take our clients both to local and famous camps in Chiang Mai. But i love to support the local to keep their job if i can. I do not see mistreat in the local farm. The one i see i need to help their elephants and their family to be happy together and wish them both have good future as well and not sell their job. When you book the trip with us. You can tell us which camp you would like to be with and i will set up for you. Honestly we work for any elephant camps and we don’t not classify good or bad because we see them not big different that’s why we use every camp and love them all. We know when we were there they both elephants and elephant man have food. Or do you think the camps that you don’t agree with. They need no food ? Best regards. Sipohn

First time that my experience doesn't match with the majority in Tripadvisor. We booked a half day tour to Doi Suthep, in Chiang Mai. They charged us 1.250 baths/person when the average price is 600 bath/each. The owner argued that maybe that was the price provided for a "dark tour company". The fact is, we are farangs but not stupid. On top of that, they took us to a jade store instead of a Hmong village. Dont recommend it and wonder where all the good reviews come from.

The facts need to be appealed to guests ! Thank you for all reviews. we understood these clients. They misunderstand about our price of our tour service. This was a private tour for them both. Only they both in a car !. On that day i do know they stayed in the small guesthouse, and quite cheap.( They may be in the budget ) They know our price that posted on the web,( Not hidden price at all ). How they can book our tour, when they knew the price is double. ! So i knew this, i sent the an experienced 2 guides " Mr. Tong and Mr. Bon with them. " ( They both are one of our best guides in the company ) They both are guides because i always aware about the price for this couple ! You've never had any company will give you 2 guides in the same tour, but we did !! and did many many times !! I always do this when i feel those tours may cause any problem. Or it was too much for a driver guide himself to service our clients. - And we had never promised we would take them to the Hmong hill tribe village ! it is in our itineraries.! Mr. Tong, our guide, asked them if they would like to see how they make jade because we have time left and we don't have any program to process and they said Yes ! So a guide take them to the jade factory ( Just a small local jade factory at the temple grounds before getting back to their guesthouse) A guide called me that day because he heard they always complain about our price. EXPENSIVE ! EXPENSIVE ! I tried to explain to them. " Even a dark taxi they must think hardly to take you up hilltop with that price : If they go they will try to pull you away to somewhere else as well..Not only the Doi Suthep temple ! " The price you posted is not correct for a private tour even the join tour with the other people you need to pay 600- 800 baht !! How can be expensive for a prive one ? We always think of fair price for both of us and the quality of our service and your safety on your trip ! we promise !! Thank you Best regards: Sipohn
