Amazing Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si) or Sticky Waterfall in North of Chiang Mai
Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si), a unique limestone waterfall, offers safest spots for climbing. Nam Tok Bua Tong, also known as the Sticky Waterfall, is a unique waterfall in Chiang Mai. It originates from a natural spring and has high levels of dissolved minerals, coating rocks and tree roots with high-traction limestone. The waterfall is known for its slippery nature, making it a popular half-day trip. Despite its reputation, the Chiang Mai Sticky Waterfall can become crowded, making it a must-see destination for those visiting Chiang Mai. The waterfall is located under an hour and a half from the city, making it a popular and worthwhile destination for visitors.
why sticky waterfall?
Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si) or Sticky Falls, a waterfall with a slippery appearance due to limestone deposits, offers a fun experience amidst forested mountains. The limestone coating on the rocks creates a cream to white coating, making it easy to hold onto. The journey takes 150 meters to the bottom, followed by three levels back to the top, where water pours rapidly.

Jack is very accommodating and easy to talk to. I booked last minute and he responded quickly to my inquiry. He was able to make an itinerary that was kid-friendly,... read more as I was with my toddler during the tour. It was very personalized and met my specific needs.
He is also a good storyteller. Not only did he explain the history of the temples we visited, but he also told us about life in Chiang Mai in general, and his personal experiences as well.
Jack is very helpful in many ways. He helped me with carrying my kid’s stroller as some parts of the temples do not have ramps. He also helped me in suggesting what to do after the tour (which areas we can visit since our time was limited). And lastly, he helped me make our short stay in Chiang Mai very memorable.
Highly recommended!

From Chang Mai, Doi Suthep, Sticky waterfall, to Doi Inthanon Hill tribe homestay and Sukhothai ancient ruin bike tour. Jack took great care of us. My favorite part was when... read more he took us to his friends house in the mountains of Doi Inthanon where we picked our vegetables for our dinner, cooked dinner with our village tribe homestay family, walked on the farm and met local hill tribe farmers, and even got to roast coffee while we were there from the local arabica plants in the backyard. After staying with the hill tribe village Chief Jack knew we wanted to see ancient ruins and recommended we bike around in Sukhothai. This was amazing since many tourists do not come here since it's farther away from Bangkok. We wanted to see Northern Thailand and we didn't really have much of a plan and good thing since Jack consulted with us about what we like and he gave us suggestions which we were super interested in and super grateful for.
Jack... What to say. Jack is super fun, very flexible, and incredibly kind. His English is very good and he showed us an amazing time around Northern Thailand in just 4 Days. I would recommend talking with Jack first before planning a super Rigid plan. Being flexible and talking with a local who has 20 years of experience in tourism in Thailand is what you get when you talk with Jack. If I could give 6 stars I would. Highly highly recommend staying overnight in Hill tribe village!!!!
Much Love Jack ️

Jack is very professional and experienced. What made him excellent is his ability to gather information on what you want and provide you with the best options. His understanding of... read more traffic patterns, and other variables gave him the insight to provide great suggestions, which I'm glad we followed because he was right about the best food, coffee, and views and historical sites that had the least amount of crowded tourists. We also got to see the only elephant hospital! So cool!
Jack also has an exclusive relationship with a specific hill tribe that only allows his guests to visit as if they are family. We stayed in a very clean and bamboo home, picked fresh vegetables and cooked them with our hosts and enjoyed a hot shower in the jungle. Wow. What a way to unplug and enjoy the peaceful nature!

Jack Private Tour Thailand is the best guide in Chiang Mai! - Jack is an experienced tourguide who is very motivated to give you the best tour experience in Chiang Mai!
We went on a full day tour to Doi... read more Ithanon National Park, where we did a beautiful hike, saw the King & Queen Pagoda, one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen and a local market.
Jack is very flexible, happy to customize tours and itineraries.
Communication with him is very clear, via email or whatsapp, and he speaks very well English.
The Thai tourism industry is very slowly recovering from the Covid crisis, and I encourage everybody to do book tours at guides like Jack because nowhere in the world you get such quality for your buck, and they deserve your business.
Whenever I return to Chiang Mai I would tour with Jack again! ***** 5 stars!
