Overall good experience - The tour guide Meaw was good and funny. She could have been more helpful when hiking along the river. Instead she hired another guide and asked us to pay her the tip.Lunch place had too many flies and food was so so.

Not to be missed - I did not realize the temples were a 3 1/2hr drive each way from Chiang Mai but our guide Lek kept us entertained. The temples were amazing and worth the drive.
