Review of the Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle tour from Chiang Mai, with White Temple, hill villages, hot springs, lunch, costs, and practical tips.

“This is a very long drive, 12 hours in all. The hot springs, if you have ever been to one, is nothing to write about. Then we stopped at the White Temple. That is a must see. Spectacular. Not a holy temple but the architecture is so beautiful. Then Read more”

“A great day out in northern Thailand! It was a long day but we saw lots of things and the minibus was really comfy. Our guide, Ping, was fantastic - very informative and personable. We learnt a lot from him. And our driver, Mr Black was also friendly and a very safe driver. Many thanks to both of you! Fantastic sights and experiences which were a bit off the usual tourist trail. Would thoroughly recommend!”

Review of Chiang Rai’s private temples and Golden Triangle tour from Chiang Mai, with flexible stops, private transport, and practical advice.

“Chris was such an amazing driver and guide. He spent his entire day with us and was extremely helpful in helping us plan the day out based on how busy the sites were. He was patient as we asked to pack as much as possible into one day. We really appreciated his thoughtfulness and willingness to take group photos of us along our journey - he took photography classes so every photo was beautiful! On a small side note - do not expect to go to Laos during this tour. We read the description as a boat ride into Laos and possible passport stamp but actually it is an informational…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 63 reviews · from $74

See Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Black temples, the Golden Triangle, and Mekong River by boat on a long but rewarding day from Chiang Mai.

“Even though we saw some bad reviews, we decided to take a chance. And it was a great idea. The tour is nice, they get you at your hotel, the driver does his job fast but accurate, the guide was incredibly nice and the boat minitrip was the cherry up the cake. It is true that a bit more explanations about Thai culture and Buddhist traditions inside the temples would make the experience full, but those given were sufficient. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone willing to do the Chiang Rai area in a day, best value for the price that we were able to find. Thanks guys!”

Review of Chiang Mai’s Chiang Rai temple tour, Karen village, and Golden Triangle boat trip, with honest advice on timing, comfort, guides, and value.

“A very full (but long) day giving a great whistle stop tour of the Chiang Mai. Area. We enjoyed the White and Blue Temples, the Karen Tribe and the river trip despite appalling weather the whole day, I imagine it would be wonderful on a beautiful day. Lunch was good and our driver felt very safe. Considering what we paid we felt we had very good value.”
