Our guide was enthusiastic in sharing out of the way markets highlighting local vendors. Splitting dishes amongst 6 people was sometimes awkward, but we got plenty to eat

Thank you so much for your kind review, Skylar. We’re so glad you enjoyed your Chiang Mai Ink Experience with Ajarn Dej, and that Khun Noi was there to guide you through it all. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime, whether in Thailand or beyond.

Very pleased with my experience getting a sak yant. The whole morning was seamless thanks to Steven picking me up and making me feel comfortable from start to finish. He was so accommodating and wanted me to know he was there for me the whole time. As it was my first ever sak yant and tattoo in general, I was a bit nervous but Steven updated me every step of the way. Ajarn ya was also so kind and patient with me. Very happy I found WSE!!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Meghan. We’re so pleased to hear your first Sak Yant felt comfortable and supported from start to finish. With Steven’s care and guidance, and Ajarn Ya’s kindness and patience, we’re grateful the experience could unfold in such a smooth and meaningful way. We appreciate you choosing WSE for this important step and would be happy to welcome you back anytime.
WSE were so accommodating
WSE were so accommodating, especially when i was after a date that was unavailable in the website. After messaging they opened up a time for me. Its not often you receive such good service and my expeeimce (Sak yant tattoo) blew me away. So special and will return next time.

Thank you so much for your review, Paula. We’re glad we could help find a time that worked for you and that your Sak Yant experience felt so meaningful. Khun Su’s guidance and Ajarn Yod’s artistry are at the heart of what we strive to offer, and we’re grateful you chose to share this moment with them. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
It was an incredible experience
It was an incredible experience. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to the location. We made offerings to Ajarn Oh, and he treated us wonderfully. He tattooed us in the traditional way, taking care of every hygienic detail and with incredible precision. My wife and I were delighted and will definitely return. If you have the chance, do it.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Valentin. It is wonderful to hear that you and your wife felt welcomed by Ajarn Oh, and that the full process of making offerings, receiving such careful attention to hygiene, and the precision of the tattoo left such a strong impression. We are grateful to Khun Nuch for guiding you through each step, and glad the day felt both smooth and memorable. We would be honored to welcome you both again whenever your path brings you back to Phuket, or beyond.
Wonderful Experience
Our guide was early for pick up and very knowledgeable of the process. He answered all of our questions and translated with Ajarn as needed. Our Ajarn and his assistant were wonderfully kind and gentle.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Linda.
We're truly honoured to have been part of this special moment with you and your daughter. It means a lot to hear that you felt your guide and the Ajarn created a respectful space for the experience. We always strive to ensure each guest feels supported and informed, and we’re so glad that came through for you both.
Please pass along our warmest wishes to your daughter as she carries this sacred ink into her next chapter. May it offer her strength, guidance, and all the protection she needs on the path ahead. We’re grateful you chose to walk this journey with us — thank you again for entrusting us with such a meaningful day. 🙏

It was not as intense as expected from a spiritual point of view. Not a lot of interaction with the ajarn. I had the feeling it was more business than spiritual exchange. The price is too high for the experience I had, in my opinion.

Thank you for your feedback, Giovanni.
We’re sorry the experience didn’t feel as meaningful to you as expected. As we shared in earlier communications, we aim to support each guest’s personal journey by offering detailed preparation — including our extensive Instagram discussions we shared, and detailed emails about how to reflect on intentions, engage with the Ajarn, and use your guide to ask the ajarn questions - especially if the ajarn doesn't ask you questions. That said, we understand that connection is subjective and may not resonate equally for everyone.
We also want to clarify that we never market Sak Yant as a “spiritual service” — we believe spirituality arises from within, not something that can be sold or pre-packaged. We can only open the door, but it's up to our guests and their mindset to find that spiritual connection.
As for pricing, it reflects the full scope of the experience: including a private, licensed guide trained in Sak Yant traditions, and the Ajarn’s independently set rate for their tattoos. Like any tattoo artist, pricing varies by style, reputation, and experience, and we honour those rates out of respect. While there are Ajarns with lower prices, this can sometimes compromise on quality or hygiene — areas we won’t cut corners on for our guests’ safety and satisfaction.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts — we truly appreciate your perspective and hope your sak yant brings you the luck and enchantment you had hoped for. 🙏
A once in a life time experience
I’m so glad I did this experience. My guide Tobb was amazing. He was great company. He was very informative and he imparted a lot of knowledge about cultural traditions.
Ajarn Ya was amazing and with Tobbs help guided me through selecting the correct tattoo. The blessings and process was humbling

Thank you so much for your kind review, Fiona.
We’re so glad to hear that your time with Ajarn Ya and your guide Tobb was a memorable one. Tobb has been part of our team since 2018, and we’ve been honoured to work alongside him for so many years. His deep knowledge and calm presence continue to make a difference for guests, and we’re glad you felt supported throughout the experience.
It was truly an honour to share this ancestral practice with you, and to help guide you through the process of receiving your Sak Yant. We hope it brings you the strength, protection, and enchantment you wished for as it continues to support your path ahead. Thank you again for allowing us to be part of your journey.
excellent service from start to end
excellent service from start to end. I booked the trip only about 1.5 weeks in advance, and the WSE team were really prompt in their replies, even during the weekend. i also wasn't in kuching, and they were really flexible and transparent with me about the negotiating a pickup in Sibu where I was at instead of Kuching

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Glenn. We’re really glad we could help make your Borneo Iban Homestay experience come together smoothly, even on such short notice. We always aim to be as transparent and flexible as possible, and we appreciate your easy communication in helping us make it all work.
It’s not every day that we get to support a journey into such a remote and culturally rich part of the world, and we’re honoured you chose to explore it with us. We hope the experience gave you deeper insights into Iban traditions and life along the river, and left you with lasting memories. Terima kasih again, and safe travels - until we see you again.
The WSE experience is Best In Class!
We engaged WSE on three occasions in Chiang Mai [Sak Yant, Local Tour, and Monk], and had three unique and amazingly fulfilling experiences!
Each of our guides were wonderful people; engaging, thoughtful and expert in their ability to translate and communicate cultural knowledge and understanding.
Incredible times were had, and enduring memories made!
Thanks WSE team! I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon...
...somewhere in the world! 😉

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Rory.
It was truly an honour to share not just one but three meaningful experiences with you and your son during your time in Chiang Mai. From receiving your Sak Yant, to discovering the richness of everyday life through our local experience, and stepping into the rhythm of a monk’s life for a day, we’re thrilled each experience left a lasting impression.
We’re also grateful for your kind words about our guides. They care deeply about offering genuine and informed connections with their culture and are always happy to hear that their efforts made an impact. We hope your travels continue to be full of discovery and inspiration. Kop Khun Krub again and safe travels until we see you again... Somewhere in the world! 😉

I first traveled with Where Side Walks…
I first traveled with Where Side Walks End in Borneo, and it was such a unique experience that I had to join them again—this time in the Philippines. And once again, they absolutely delivered.
We took part in two experiences: a traditional healing session and the making of a local love potion. Both were fascinating, immersive, and honestly… a lot of fun. The guides were incredibly helpful, respectful of the traditions, and made sure everything was well-explained without ever feeling staged or touristy.
What I love most about this agency is that they take you far beyond the typical tour. It’s intimate, offbeat, and deeply cultural—just the kind of travel I look for.
If you’re curious, adventurous, or just want to experience something truly different, I’d highly recommend Where side Walks End. I’ve now explored with them in two countries, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Guests like you remind us why these connections matter so much. We would be delighted to welcome you again whenever the road leads our way.

A Sacred Journey with Where Sidewalks End
Choosing Where Sidewalks End for my first Sak Yant was proved to be the right decision. Receiving a Sak Yant, a deeply sacred Thai tattoo, is not a spur-of-the-moment experience. It begins with a spark of curiosity, followed by thoughtful reflection and in-depth research.
I’m especially thankful to Ian for patiently guiding me through the learning process. In the end, it was Ajarn Ya who intuitively chose the most appropriate Sak Yant for me, based on the personal story I shared with him, a powerful reminder that these tattoos are not chosen, they are bestowed.
From the moment of booking to the pick-up, the ceremony itself, and the journey home, everything was seamless and respectful.
Thank you, WSE, for creating such a safe, meaningful, and unforgettable experience.

Wonderful cultural experience
Great guide (Tavo) and really fun and informative day at the Palenque. The family that hosted us was so generous and warm, and the mezcal was amazing. We also had excellent communication from WSE all the way up to the tour day. Highly recommended for a great cultural experience in Oaxaca.

Friendly, Professional, Enjoyable
From my first contact with WSE, everyone was both friendly and professional. In fact, when I purchased a tour but a discount code didn't work, they contacted me to refund the amount the discount code would have given me. Everything was exactly as promised: timely, well organized. And the experience itself was a fantastic and unique deep dive into one aspect of Thai culture. It is clear that WSE wants to work with the communities that are part of their tours, not exploit them. This can be seen in all the interactions. I highly recommend them.

Incredible experience with “pechuga mezcal”
An excellent tour where you actually take part in making pechuga mezcal.
It’s something new, since it’s very common to only get an explanation and a tasting of mezcals. On this tour, you truly experience being involved in the entire process. A big plus is that the mezcal masters working at this palenque are women, which feels amazing!
And at the end, you get to take home your own bottle of mezcal.
Highly recommended!!
