Sak Yant Chiang Mai Reviews
While the Sak Yant Experience is a private and personal matter that not many people want to write reviews about – we have slowly collected thousands of Sak Yant Reviews from various social media sites and Videos from customers Blogs and YouTube.
Sak Yant Chiang Mai was established in 2017, as a single guide taking people out to Sak Yant Temples on the back of a motorcycle to receive a Sak Yant Tattoo. Within a very short time, Sak Yant Chiang Mai changed from a single guide to a Co-op representing over 12 local Sak Yant Masters, and became Thailand’s leading Sak Yant provider. For a full history of our beginnings as a solo tour guide to an establishment Sak Yant Monks trusted to represent them you can read About Sak Yant Chiang Mai.
Is Sak Yant Chiang Mai Real or Fake?
With a growing interest in Real and Authentic Sak Yant Experiences, many people are researching online about getting a Sak Yant Tattoo and getting confused with the massive amount of information overload. Some of our guests are wondering if Sak Yant Chiang Mai is Real or Fake and waiting until they arrive in Chiang Mai to come and visit. As we are usually fully booked days or weeks ahead this means they are not able to get a Sak Yant from us.
At Sak Yant Chiang Mai we have provided our FAQ with common questions and Answers to help provide real information about the Sak Yant. We have created an Information article to help clear up Myths and Mis-information created by people writing about their Sak Yant Experience online and getting things wrong.
A growing aspect contributing to the online confusion is the number of Tattoo Shops who hope to trick the non aware tourists with Fake Sak Yants. Some Tattoo shops now also advertise on Google providing information about real Sak Yants on their websites, and in the small print say they provide their ‘modern interpretation’ of a Sak Yant. We try to clear up Why you don’t get a Sak Yant from a Tattoo Artist as well.
All this mass amount of information can leave a person researching information about a Sak Yant to ask themselves ‘Is Sak Yant Chiang Mai Real? – Or just another place providing Fake Sak Yants?” We of course can say Sak Yant Chiang Mai provides Authentic Sak Yants, but showing what our customers think might as help. So here is a quick access to Sak Yant Chiang Mai Reviews and Customer Videos.
Sak Yant Chiang Mai Reviews
One of the best ways to determine if Sak Yant Chiang Mai is a real and authentic provider of Traditional Thai Tattoos is to read Sak Yant Chiang Mai’s reviews. In order to post a Facebook review or a Google Review, a person has to have an account. Granted reviews can be fake, and ones without a profile photo or a description of experience in the review comments likely could be. However we are lucky in that many of our guests who do feel comfortable sharing reviews will write a little about their Sak Yant experience.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Very reasonable prices as service is excellent. Went to a Wat where an Arjan did two sak yant. Carefully placed and with the kata designed for my specific intentions. (I highly recommend the traditional method-not the modern tattoo machine method—as it is very fast and less painful.)
SYCM staff were well informed and patient with questions and correct procedures.

Ploy and Cody were amazing. Ploy taught me about the different meanings of the sak yant and gave me descriptions of each one. It was my first time and Chiang Mai and and first sak yant and she was so helpful. I ended up getting 4. I had a full sleeve already on one arm with a traditional gun tattoo and I have to say this hurts less and is even enjoyable if you really want it and go there for the experience. Cody talked to me throughout the process and brought me coffee and water and took videos and pics from my phone just to do it he was awesome. Ajarn Sam was incredible he worked so fast and he was so friendly and I got exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend this place and to book early if you’re serious they get pretty busy because the work they do is worth it!

I highly recommend this place for your Sak Yant. It was truly a wonderful experience and I fully intend on coming back here if I'm ever in Chiang Mai again. Ploy was the first person I met at their offices and immediately put me at ease. She's such a genuine, warm and kind soul - one of the English speaking 'guides' who will translate and can advise you on your design choice (& there's a huge amount of choice), it's meaning and communicate any personalisation you would like in the prayer or symbols. The Arjan/monk will also ask if you have any specific intentions you would like accommodations for. For example, I chose the Golden Swan, only one of the twins, and had some tweaks changed to take out the charisma/popularity elements.
Your guide, in my case Ploy, will take pictures and video throughout on your device. They leave you alone with the Arjan but will check in every 5-10mins. The whole tattooing portion took around 30mins. Then you'll have a blessing on tattoo, activating it's power through mantras etc, and then another when a bracelet is placed on you.
You can also choose to have a mala blessed and they have a lovely selection onsite to choose from.
I did a lot of research and I appreciate their cooperative project to keep Sak Yants both authentic and fair to tourists.
The whole thing really was a profound experience and I'm grateful for Ploy and the Arjan for their kindness. Thank you so much!

This shop is full of helpful and honest staff, make sure you speak to Cody when you visit!
In a world full of people looking to trick you or sell you something Cody stands out as an incredibly honest and kind person who will direct you down the right path and ensure you have a positive experience.
Thank you for everything you have done to make my first tattoo and visit to Thailand an incredible and memorable experience that I will never forget!

Wonderful experience! Really knowledgeable, welcoming, and patient staff. I wanted to move the positioning of my tattoo several times and the Arjan and assistant were very understanding. I was able to film the entire experience. This photo is of my tattoo on day 7 healing very nicely. It wasn’t any more painful than a regular tattoo and actually maybe less painful because no shading! The blessing was beautiful and made me very emotional. 10/10 recommend

We booked with Sak Yant Chiang Mai and had the most amazing experience. We had our own guide Cody who was absolutely amazing, he took us to the temple to have our tattoos. He made us feel at ease and was ever so friendly. We had a wonderful time speaking with the monks and learning about some of their culture. Would highly recommend booking with Sak Yant Chiang Mai for a stress free, amazing cultural experience!

After few months of researching about sak yant tattoo, finally had it in one of the places that does it safe and authentic. I am not sponsored nor working under them. I just searched and read so much about sak yant online and I always landed on their informative website.
On one of our daily motorbike rides through Old City Chiang Mai Thailand we sped past the Sak Yant Chiang Mai shop and immediately looked it up upon getting home. Great Reviews! Spiritual Experience! This place looked legit. One thousand percent more appropriate a place to get a real and respectful Sak Yant (Sak Yant meaning Thai Mystic Tattoo) done by an actual Monk or Ajarn (Shaman & Retired Monk) with an authentic blessing ceremony, than a street shop in the Islands.
Today we share the history and our experience while receiving a traditional Sak Yant tattoo! We visited Sak Yant Chiang Mai, and was brought over to our Ajarns home to receive our tattoos. This experience is a complete honor to have while being in Thailand, and we are so grateful that something so special is a part of our travel journey.
