A day in Chiang Mai

We toured the 3 most beautiful temples in Chiang Mai and the village Karen (Long Neck) with Nancy, our guide, who was very good! Super prepared, she explained everything to us in detail and told us a lot of interesting things. She was very kind and helpful throughout the day and also took a lot of photos, making the experience even more beautiful. A really fantastic experience, which we absolutely recommend, especially thanks to Nancy's skill and friendliness! ❤️
