Our Chiang Mai Basics package is designed for guests on a tight schedule and return guests who want to revisit favorite places or do what they did not have enough time for in the past. You set your own itinerary and our knowledgeable local guide will make sure you get the most from the time you have. You do not have to be gay to enjoy Chiang Mai Basics. Mainstream guests choose us because they know they will get something better from a gay company.

When you arrive in Chiang Mai we'll whisk you to your holiday home so that you can settle in as quickly as possible. No doubt you'll have some favorite places in mind that you'd like to revisit. You may also add optional side trips to places you have not visited before.

Plan your own schedule today with our private guide who is at your service from ten in the morning until ten in the evening for shopping, sight-seeing, hunting up old friends, or discovering popular new hang-outs. Hire a tuk-tuk to breeze around the city or venture through some of Chiang Mai's charming neighborhoods on foot. During the afternoon and evening, your guide will introduce you to newly-opened venues which have popped up since your last visit, help you negotiate the best prices for those treasures you plan to shop for, and introduce you special restaurants that tourists have not yet discovered. As Thais love to say, "Up to you, boss."

Free time until your transfer to the airport. From Chiang Mai it is a short plane ride to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Luang Prabang, one of the Wonders of Asia. Or, connect to Phuket Island for some fun in the sun, or back to Bangkok.

You can easily add as many extra nights in Chiang Mai as you like. We have plenty of interesting optional day trips to make a longer stay both fun and interesting. We are also happy to arrange custom sightseeing based on your personal interests if you like.
