Bhubing Palace Tickets and Tours

Chiang Mai Cultural Highlights: Wat Doi Suthep & Phu Ping Palace

Tour guide Som, helped a lot

The tour was superbly organized. Som wrote me what's app messages to meet at hotel lobby. She and the driver turned up on time to pick us up. At the Bhubing palace, we walked around the lovely gardens. Som helped my father, who is 84years and finds it difficult to climb steps or walk uphill. She personally walked slower and stayed with him, allowing us to go farther and explore more. Som even took pictures of my dad in various places that she later sent me. She made it a really special tour for my dad. At the temple, we took the cable car up, but coming down, Som came back with my dad on the cable car, allowing us to come down the famous serpent (snake) steps. The temple was crowded with worshipers because it was New Years Eve, when many Buddhists go to pray (chant) and worship. It was great seeing those Thai traditions as they were happening. Som did great explaining them to us.
