Top Notch Services
Kaya at Asia Highlights helped make our honeymoon in Thailand the perfect trip. It was truly the best balance between structured and unstructured time abroad. They cater their services to exactly what you're looking for. Also, their responsiveness is uncanny. Kaya at Asia Highlights in particular deserves special mention. She out our trip together for us, put up with us, and was always available for any hiccups during the trip. We plan to use their excellent services again for our next trip to Asia. Highly recommended, and ask for Kaya! More

Excellent guide in Siem Reap
Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap! More

Itinerary in Detail
Upon your arrival, your private tour guide and driver will greet you at the airport and then transfer you to your hotel. In the late afternoon, you will head to the iconic mountain, Doi Suthep.
Situated only a few kilometers northwest of Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep is in one of the most famous national parks in Northern Thailand. The main attractions in the park include Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, scenic waterfalls, amazing bird's-eye views, caves, and local wildlife. Despite the stunning natural beauty of Doi Suthep, the main reason many visitors go to the national park is to visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, which is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Thailand.
Many tourists visit Doi Suthep during the day and the park can get quite crowded. However, our tour takes place in the late afternoon after most people have left so that you can have a meaningful and personal experience. At dusk, you can listen to the evening chanting of the monks as you gaze at the glittering lights of Chiang Mai below you. You can also meditate there if you wish.
Situated in a pristine and picturesque valley in Chiang Mai, about 1? hours outside of the city, Elephant Rescue Park is a paradise for rescued elephants. It provides a safe, loving, and secure environment for all the elephants that live there.
There, you can spend half a day caring for the elephants. At Elephant Rescue Park, you'll interact with the elephants, feed them, walk with them, hug them, and bathe them.
Rising 2,565 meters above sea level, Doi Inthanon National Park is often called "the roof of Thailand". It is one of the most popular national parks in Thailand and is especially famous for its large number of waterfalls, hiking trails, remote villages, and picturesque mountain farms.
This park is also a great place to go bird-watching or to take in the beautiful scenery while watching a sunrise or sunset. Because it is located at a higher elevation, the weather at Doi Inthanon National Park is cool year-round, making it the perfect place to spend some time outdoors.
During this day tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the mountain's summit where you can see green-tailed sunbirds, take a gentle walk along Ang Ka Nature Trail, visit a hill tribe village and a small Hmong market, take in the scenery at Wachiratharn Waterfall, and appreciate the spectacular King and Queen Pagodas.
Your Chiang Mai journey has come to an end. Your private tour guide and driver will transfer you to the airport for your departure.
