Spend a full day traveling from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai with an English or Thai-speaking guide. See Wat Rong Khun, Wat Rong Suea Ten, Wat Huay Pla Kang, Long Neck Village, and Mae Khachan Hot Springs. Air-conditioned transport, lunch, entry fees, and hotel pickup options are included.
“Very enjoyable and the tour guide ‘Little B’ was very informative throughout the experience.”
Travel from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai for a full day of striking art and culture. Visit the White Temple, Black House, Blue Temple, Mae Kajan Hot Springs, and Karen Long Neck Village with a Thai or English-speaking guide. Expect about 12 hours, several hours on the road, a Thai buffet lunch, and hotel pickup in the Old Town or Nimman area.
“The visits to the temple are short. In 30 minutes you can only take a few pictures. Not good. The guide doesn’t speaks English. He don’t can explain nothing.”
Leave Chiang Mai at 7:00 am for a packed northern Thailand day. You’ll visit Mae Khachan Hot Spring, the White, Black, and Blue temples, a Karen Longneck village, and the Golden Triangle, with lunch, guide service, water, and transport included. Guides such as Manny, Apple, Mi, and Smile have earned warm praise, but expect 13 to 15 hours on the road.
“Despite the considerable three-hour drive, the trip is incredibly rewarding! We explored captivating sites such as the White Temple, Blue Temple, Black Museum, Karen village, and the golden triangle. If I were to make a small adjustment, I might skip the Black Museum and allocate more time to fully immerse ourselves in the enchanting White Temple. Overall, I highly recommend this tour :)”
Leave Chiang Mai at 7 a.m. for a packed northern Thailand day. You’ll ride in an air-conditioned vehicle with up to 15 people, visit Chiang Rai’s White and Blue Temples, Baan Dam Museum, a Karen village, Mae Khachan Hot Springs, and the Golden Triangle, including a short Mekong boat trip toward Laos. Guides vary, with Kathi, Zuzy, Qwan, and Pom among those reported.
“While overall it was a good day and we ended up essentially being able to see all we were intended to see, there was an unfortunate problem in the morning caused by two people who somehow wound up on the wrong tour and we had to make unusual arrangements to oust them but this caused us to lose valuable time. The tour operator person tried to do her best to overcome the situation but I’m not sure how that can happen with proper verification techniques in place. It would have been a little better if the English was a bit more proficient but she still did a respectable job overall.”
Travel from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai with an English-speaking guide such as Goi, Bee, or Paul, stopping at the White Temple, Blue Temple, Big Buddha, Long Neck Village, Mae Kachan Hot Spring, and Lalitta Café.
