Charin is a fount of historical information. Having been a monk his knowledge of Buddhism and the Lanna language are very impressive. It was a great experience to have him as a guru.

Charon was an extremely knowledgeable and kind tour guide. He taught us about the history of Thailand, Buddhism, and Chaing Mai. His tour was the highlight of our trip thus far - I can’t recommended him enough!

Ch ofarin was an amazing guide, I knows the history of Thailand and Chiang Mai very well. It was interesting to know some tips about Thailand thanks to him. I highly recommend that tour if you want to know the Thai culture to the deep and if you are interesting in the Buddhism and the history.
