Memorable Day - Wonderful Chiang Rai Day Tour! A full 10-hour adventure packed with highlights. The Long Neck Village was a fascinating cultural experience. Both the White Temple and Blue Temple were absolutely stunning in their own unique ways. We enjoyed a quick relaxing break at the hot spring, and ended the day at the amazing Lolita Café with great interior misty Jangol design, food, coffee and dessert was available on Restaurant. Well-organized tour, great guide with good English and very helpful. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing! - A very fulfilling trip. The guide was not only passionate, But Also really funny. He explained a lot of history behind each temple, and each creator. He cracked good jokes and took well care of us. Made sure we had water, ate when we had lunch and reminded us to always Ask if there was any problem or question. Felt safe and taken care of through the whole trip. Driver was Also very good and skilled. Would recommend everyone

Second brush with Chiang Rai, worth a look - Very beautiful, each with its own characteristics, especially the White Temple, which is magnificent in the sun and beautiful. The coloured fish in the pool are full of fairytale colours. The whole feel of the Black Museum is a handmade art gallery, in a large estate, with different architectural shapes. It's worth a visit.

Long drive/ temples amazing - The guide and the sites were amazing. The only downside and why I am giving this a four is the transportation. Yes it had A/C but for such a long trip it was very crammed. I would suggest to anyone looking to visit these temples to make the effort and book 2 night stay in Chiang Rai. If you do this, you will avoid the 6 hour car ride(3hrs there and 3hrs back) You will also be able to reach the temples bright and early avoiding all the crowds.

Too long - If you’re looking for a small group tour, skip this one. We booked it because it said small max 10 people. However they pick you up in a van and then bring you to a location where there is a coach bus waiting - over 30+ people. The tour started at 7am waiting for the van and was supposed to go 11 hours however we did not get back to the hotel until 9:45pm (15 hours). Lunch was provided however breakfast is on your own and so is dinner (ours was at the last rest stop -gas station). Try and eat prior or you will be very hungry and looking for food at rest stops. The temples were great but certainly not worth a 15 hour trip. Very long day with a lot of waiting for the large group of people.

Terrible guide, no history provided, hard to understand, I do not recommend. - The guide was hard to understand, short and did not have a lot of detailed information on the temples. The driver was driving fast around corners making others feel unsafe. I would not recommend this tour again.
