1.Chiang Rai Temples, Karen Tribe and Hot Springs

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,401 reviews · 11 hours - 810 minutes · from $35Our pick

Review of a Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai day trip with White, Blue and Red Temples, hot springs and a Karen long-neck village.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip despite it being a proper 12 hour trip. The guide, Alex was such a funny guy and he taught us some basic Thai phrases we could use. I liked listening to him share some personal stories of his and in all honesty, he seems like a wise man. All his stories had a lesson to it. It felt like he was imparting wisdom to the tourists. The highlight would be me visiting the hill tribes people to learn how they live their lives.”

“Would be nice to do the hot springs after the 2520 steps up and down from the view point but it was worth the mega efforts climbing that (there was a 70 year old woman doing it and she was fitter than most of us haha) Over all fabulous days it’s amazing to think water can naturally be so warm 38c”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 659 reviews · from $41

Review of Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai day trip with White, Blue and optional Red Temples, hot springs, Lalitta Cafe, lunch and practical tips.

“We started at the longneck village which was kind of just looking around a market. The people there were very happy to have pictures taken with them though. The hot springs was next which were pretty cool, like Wells that exploded with hot water every couple of seconds. The white temple was stunning and had plenty of information around to explain pieces aswell as two art galleries. The inside of the white temple was very surprising but spectacular. The blue temple was smaller in comparison but still very detailed and cool. The red temple we got a lift up to the Buddha then hopped into the lift to get all…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 323 reviews · from $71

Review of Krabi Jungle Tour to Emerald Pool, hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple, with practical tips on price, fitness, lunch, and timing.

“We had a great day with our sweet tour guide Mimi. She knew lots and was so helpful by always taking photos of us so we could just enjoy the moment instead of worrying about dragging cameras around / into the water. The tiger cave temple was an insanely hard trek up thousands of stairs which we knew getting into it but we had no clue how difficult it would be. The monkeys are very aggressive and one jumped on me trying to take my water bottle. It was a little scary! Overall a good day and would recommend.”

7.Discover Krabi – Emerald Pool, Hot Springs & Tiger Cave Temple

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 296 reviews · from $37Top rated

Review of Krabi’s Emerald Pool, hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple tour, with costs, stair warnings, timing tips, and honest value advice.

“The sights themselves are in my opinion not really worth a whole day trip. The emerald and the other natural pools look nice and all, but the place is massively overcrowded with loud and obnoxious tourists. Same goes for the hot springs, which were especially underwhelming. The tiger cave temple has a nice view, but you have to decide for yourself if climbing 1260 steps up and down again in the humid heat for nearly 2 hours is worth it. Our guide was very friendly, but not much of a guide in the sense of providing interesting information or keeping the spirit up in the burning heat, but rather only…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 143 reviews · 10 hours · from $37

Review of Chiang Mai’s Chiang Rai temple tour, with hot springs, lunch, transport, costs, timing, temple tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I would not do this tour again. The way that it is set up doesn't make sense. You are rushed through the temples and then we spend 50 mins at a café and 20 minutes rest stop. Also, the driver drove extremely unsafe. He was going extremely fast and passing every car and bus on the way. I would not recommend this tour and company. There are many others out there. The tour guide was friendly. she was the best part but I wouldn't waste my money.”

Review of Krabi’s Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool, and Hot Spring tour, with practical advice on timing, costs, fitness, and value.

“Had a really good day and saw so much. The guides were so loved and informative and always happy. The price was a tad steep ad it didn’t include any entry tickets, but was the only tour that had our hotel in the pick up area. Also be aware the itinerary was slightly different we did the hot springs first and tiger cave temple last, so make sure to save your energy for the temple.”
