Historical morning out to the old city
Published on Apr, 2020
Mr Boy picked us up at the hotel lobby on time. A very good start of our trip. MHe was also very helpful in explaining the history of every temples we visited. The old city is beautiful spot to visit and some beautiful pics were taken. A very organised trip by this agent.
An amazing ancient city
Published on Apr, 2020
If you appreciate history this is worth a trip from Chiang Mai to see Wiang Kum Kam. You can see very old temples and ruins from a former capital. Many of the temple ruins visible now were not excavated from the river bottom until the 1980s. I learned this from the I Asia Thailand guide who was in my opinion the best part of the tour!
