Our Sak Yant experience with our guide Wao and Ajarn Tu Nametta was beyond incredible! Wao was the perfect guide and translator, making sure we were accommodated in every way possible and feeling like a part of our group. Ajarn Tu Nametta understood our hopes for the Yants as well as the energy we needed and the results are stunning. Would absolutely recommend!

Went on the sak yant Chiang Mai tour with our tourguide Noi and it was a life changing experience! From the moment we met our guide he was extremely helpful in all aspects and did a wonderful explaining what it we should expect and what things mean. He safe took us to our destination explaining everything each step of the way to ensure we have the best possible experience. The sak yant tattoo experience was perfect being that we were lucky to have caught Ajarn Rung when he was not busy so we could take our time with questions we had. Def looking forward to coming back soon and getting more done with Ajarn Rung. Thank you to WSE, Noi and Ajarn Rung for a once in a lifetime experience!

I love learning from ancestral wisdom traditions around the world, especially the vibrant lands of Oaxaca, Mexico. The seemingly simple yet profound act of ‘turning water into wine’, or in this case, working with an agave plant to ferment pulque or distill mezcal, provides a window into a world that is rich with context, character, and connection. As an added layer, I love bearing witness to women stepping into traditionally male dominated roles, like that of a Pulquera or Mescalera; women who choose to RISE & THRIVE in Oaxaca agave traditions, against all odds. It reminds me that context is always changing and culture is never a fixed point. Recently I had the opportunity to join a Oaxaca Artisanal Mezcal Experience with WSE Travel. Their ethos, ‘Where Sidewalks End’ takes willing explorers off the beaten path, while creating a positive impact on the communities and environment. The relationships they bridge are real. Something I felt immediately.

Oaxaca is so popular it can be really easy to slide into a tourist bubble and never really see anything truly authentic. My tours with Where Sidewalk Ends changed all of that. With locals I was able to find the best things both in the city and outside, discovering really special places and amazing people. I have taken many tours and so many guides are just worn out or phoning it in. But the guides on my tours were inspiring, honest, opinionated and happy to share. I learned a lot about Mexican culture and issues facing it today.

I wouldn’t change anything. I feel honored to have the Sak Yants ajarn Rung bestowed upon me, and he was fast and his workmanship was impeccable. I love my guide Wao also, she made everything very comfortable and I liked our time together. Would do it again and also highly recommend.

Wonderful experience from top to bottom. Highly recommended!

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!!!

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.
