Chiang Mai: Chiang Rai Temples, Karen Tribe and Hot Springs - Mae Kachan Hot Springs: a gentle first stop

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,811 reviews · 5 hours · from $27

Review of Chiang Mai’s evening tour to Wat Umong and Doi Suthep, with sunset views, monk ceremonies, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Tour was great! In total it took 4.5 hours. I liked it a lot because I got to see a new temple (Wat Umong) and Doi Suthep in the evening light when I think it looks more beautiful than in the day because it helps to accentuate the golden colour. The guide Layla did a brilliant job. She provided lots of useful information & assisted with taking photos. I really appreciated her clear communication style - at all times we were aware of where we were going, what we were doing next etc. I recommend the tour because it's a nice experience & good value; just beware that there are…”

“We had a great experience on the Chiang Mai: Wat Pha Lat & Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Tour. Our guide, Art, was outstanding and really made the tour special. He was extremely insightful and knowledgeable, but also very entertaining. Art has a great sense of humor and included lots of jokes, which made the whole experience relaxed and fun. At the same time, he gave us a deep and meaningful overview of Thai culture and explained what the temples truly represent to Thai people, not just from a historical point of view but also culturally and spiritually. The tour was well paced, informative, and engaging from start to finish.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 674 reviews · 5h 30m · from $59

Watch sunrise at Doi Suthep, join monk chanting, give alms, meditate, and visit three ancient Chiang Mai temples with an ex-monk guide.

“The temple at sunrise is incredible and it was more than worth getting up early for. You get about five minutes to sit with the monks for the meditation and the rest of the time is spent walking around or listening to the guide. Our guide was a monk for 17 years so he told great stories and shared a lot of insight. And he was funny! And happy to take pictures for us. He captured some very beautiful and then also playful and fun moments. The alms giving is very special. And the other two temple visits are somewhat quick but more or less all you need. You could…”

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 657 reviews · from $26

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Suthep and Wat Pha Lat tour, with a forest hike, golden temple, sunrise option, costs, transport, and practical tips.

“The red taxi that took us up the hill was hot and the exhaust extremely irritating despite the fan & open windows. A van with AC should be provided not the cheap city taxis. On a positive note the temples were very impressive and the monks trail down the mountain challenging in sandals but very good.”
