点评:My experience in Chiang Mai was quite memorable thanks to my fantastic guide, Gobi and driver, Boo! On my first day, I booked the full day private tour to Doi Suthep, Palad Temple, and city temples (Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh). Gobi was very knowledgeable about the history of the Lanna Kingdom and taught me a lot about the history of each temple and how to differentiate the style of architecture to temples in other historic cities (like Ayutthaya and Sukhothai). Lunch was also superb, at a reliable restaurant! I had a lot of fun doing the monk chat activity at Wat Chedi Luang as well. It gave me the opportunity to sit down and gain new perspectives from the point of view of a young monk.
On day 2, I did a tour or two elephant hospitals outside of Chiang Mai and then a separate tour to meet and learn more about two hill tribes: the Hmong and Long Neck. Again, Gobi was incredibly knowledgeable and taught me a lot about the many other hill tribes in Northern Thailand. I recommend the elephant hospital tour as a way to ethically enjoy the experience of seeing elephants in Thailand.
A particular highlight was getting to visit a jade store on the temple tour and a Hmong hemp clothing store on the hill tribe tour. It’s a great tour addition for women who like to shop for unique pieces that’ll last!
Gobi was enthusiastic throughout the day long tour. He’s quite hilarious! Boo, the driver was exceptional. I have an inclination to motion sickness, but somehow, due to his driving skills, I never felt sick on the windy road to Doi Suthep. Nor the road to the Hmong village. That’s a marker for someone who is excellent at driving.
To recommend booking a private tour for the comfort and ease! And if you get Gobi and Boo as your tour leaders, you’ll be very lucky!
翻译:多亏了我的出色导游戈比和司机布,我在清迈的经历非常难忘!第一天,我预订了一整天的私人行程,游览了素贴山、帕拉寺以及城内寺庙(契迪龙寺和帕辛寺)。戈比对兰纳王国的历史非常了解,他详细地讲解了每座寺庙的历史,以及如何区分清迈寺庙与其他历史名城(如阿瑜陀耶和素可泰)寺庙的建筑风格。午餐也很棒,是在一家口碑不错的餐厅享用的!在契迪龙寺,我还参加了与僧侣的交流活动,这让我有机会坐下来,从一位年轻僧侣的视角获得新的见解。
第二天,我参观了清迈郊外的两家大象医院,之后又单独参加了一个行程,去了解两个山地部落:苗族和长颈族。戈比再次展现了他渊博的知识,让我了解了泰国北部其他许多山地部落。我推荐参观大象医院,这是一种既能体验泰国大象,又符合伦理道德的方式。
特别值得一提的是,寺庙之旅中参观了玉器店,山地部落之旅中参观了苗族麻布服装店。对于喜欢购买独特耐用服饰的女士来说,这绝对是行程中的一大亮点!
戈比在一整天的行程中都热情洋溢,而且非常幽默!司机布布也十分出色。我很容易晕车,但不知为何,由于布布高超的驾驶技术,我在前往素贴山的蜿蜒山路上,以及前往苗族村落的路上,都没有感到任何不适。这足以证明他是一位优秀的司机。
为了舒适便捷,我强烈建议您预订私人定制行程!如果您的导游是戈比和布布,那您就太幸运了!
