they picked us up at the hotel. our guide was Nancy. she was great, very knowledgeable and fun. We got to see the monks during their morning prayers and the sunrise at the temple. after sunrise we donated some snacks to the monks and they gave us their blessings. after that we visited 2 more quiet temples, which had stunning gardens. A lifetime experience, definitely worth the early alarm.

The tour started early in the morning but the tour was worth it! The guide was Pattarapong, who was very humourous . He spoke excellent English. He used to be a monk, and gave a lot of qualified information on the three temples. I learnt a lot ! Quite honestly, there is not enough time to see all of three temples because the tour is a brief introduction to the salient features of each one. And you can easily always make your way to the three temples again if you are so inclined. The highlight of the tour was seeing sunrise at Dou Sutthep so I would recommend this tour.

It was a beautiful tour. The temple in the morning is peaceful and quiet. The sunrise was definitely worth getting up early. Our guide Pad was very nice and friendly. He answered all the questions we had and also gave us a lot of support after the tour. Thank you Pad! We highly recommend this trip.
