Chiang Rai: Guided Highlights Guided Tour with Buffet Lunch - The White Temple sets the tone

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,532 reviews · 1 day · from $37Our pick

Review of Chiang Rai’s full-day small-group tour, covering temples, art, Karen culture, tea, the Golden Triangle, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a brilliant way to see so many key sites around Chiang Rai. We were in a very comfortable minibus with A/C, safely driven by “Tom Cruise” with the lovely guide Mew, who was full of interesting information in perfect English. Visiting many and varied places but not rushed at all - and free to walk around ourselves. It’s a long day , 8am - 6pm, but well worth it and great to have a pickup and drop off at our hotel.”

“Great day with lots of places seen in 1 day. Exceptional value for money, but extra approximately 530 baht in entrance fees to pay on the day. Unfortunately our guide’s English left a little bit to be desired, that made finding out about the places we visited tricky, but heard lots from other guides talking while there. That said we had a great day.”

Would thoroughly recommend!”
