Great day out and would highly recommend - Absolutely stunning and worth a visit, even if you are not religious. I dont understand the comments from negative people about "tourist trap" etc.... did they actually think they would get the temple to themselves? We booked a private trip and guide and got there early and minimal wait time, less than 10 mins to get in. The architecture and effort that has gone into building this is amazing. Most people very respectful when you are taking images for insta or whatever and plenty of opportunities. On site store was very reasonably priced too. For us, it was a great day out and would highly recommend.

Amazing!! - Such a wonderful time and the best tour guide! She went above and beyond to make sure eveyone was having a good time and even to ensure we didnt miss any of the important things! I wish we had a little more time at the white temple but with the amount of places and things you get do in just one day its understandable. Love love love! Book this tour!

The best of Chiang Rai in a day - This had a “hop on-hop off” feel to it. The roundtrip was 15 hours with most of it driving in the van. We were traveling with 4 young children (ages 2, 4, 7 and 8). It was enough walking and sightseeing off the bus that the kids did great for the whole day. I wish I would have known ahead of time that I needed to be covered for the white temple. As a woman, I knew my shoulders needed to be covered so I brought a sweater but I had mid length shorts on which was not allowed. I had to rent a long skirt to put over my shorts. Overall, not a big deal. Just would have been nice to know. Bring snacks and entertainment for the van ride. My only wish is that there was a little more time for souvenir shopping.

Honest review. - The tip was good and our guide I couldn't really fault. We enjoyed the white & blue temple, the visit to the karen Hill tribe and museum. The hot springs was only a pit stop onroute but nothing interesting. The golden triangle was not worth seeing at all. The boat trip was a quick cruise around to show you Laos, Thailand and Myanmar and to tell you some rich Chinese business man bought a casino. The quickly show you no mans island but you cant get off. The guides was horrendous on the boat and just kept repeating themselves then they put loud spanish music on to make it a party boat? The journey back from here was 4hours which was far too long. Our bus had 12 people on it and it was far too full and uncomfortable, it didn't help the bus was quite old. The driver was lovely bus maybe he should not be using his mobile phone whilst driving going onto Facebook and line! Would I recommend.....no I wouldn't.

Overcharged and dangerous driving - I'd have given zero star if that's possible. The driver was driving more than 100km/h in a very windy road having no regards to the our lives. Plus, this is NOT a private tour but you pay substantially more than the other tours available on Viator.
