Reviews of our Chiang Mai Tours for May
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Chiang Mai during May.
Anna Martens | Traveled in May
This tour hit all the right notes for us. We wanted something that showed us different parts of Thailand without being too intense or expensive. The days were full but never overwhelming. We saw big landmarks like the Grand Palace and White Temple but also had time for small experiences, like sipping coffee at a local cafe in Chiang Mai or watching the sunset from the beach in Phuket. The flights between cities made travel easy and we were always met on time. Having a guide in each place helped us understand the history and customs better and they answered every question we had. We’re not “tour people,” usually, but this one made things simple. It was structured but with enough flexibility. If you’re thinking about Thailand and want a little adventure without the stress of planning I’d definitely recommend this tour.
Emily K. | Traveled in May
I’m amazed by all that we saw in just one week! It was a relief to travel with Contiki and not have to worry about the logistics of how we were getting from point A to point B. Our trip manager, was wonderful, and had great suggestions at every stop! There’s no way our time in Thailand would have been as smooth or with as many stops/sights if we had planned it ourselves.
Cassidy D'Anna | Traveled in May
The trip was amazing and pretty packed full. And for the days we had off Tommy made sure to send us places to go and even planning extra events for us. Wish we could of gone to one more places as we spent a lot of time in Chang Mai
Rachell Cowan | Traveled in May

Our family of four had a great time on this trip to Thailand. This was our first time working with this tour operator. Our guide Herry was a passionate and knowledgeable person who helped us solve many problems, took good care of us, and took many beautiful photos for us. My family and I especially enjoyed the cooking class in Chiang Mai, highly recommended!
Eric Arianna | Traveled in May
My friend and I had a memorable trip, from cooking classes to breathtaking tours. The tour operator took great care of us throughout the journey, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
