Awesome experience in the tour - It was an awesome experience visiting chiang rai. Banana was super helpful and explained the places we visited in detail. Mr Bank drove very smoothly and made sure the van was always cool as it was very hot outside.

Bucket list Temples - The process of booking was straight forward and with constant updates from Trip Advisor prior to the day. Leo, our guide, was excellent. He gave a concise history of each of the temples before we arrived and was always available to answers questions. The group size of 9 was just right. Although the drive from Chiang Mai was long (3 1/2 hours each way) the temples made it worth it. Would very much recommend.

Great trip, Nui is an amazing guide ! - Amazing organisation of the tour - optional add ons (The Long neck village at your own expenses and the hot springs on the way back from Chiang Rai).
Our tour guide Nui was the best companion, with great english, great personality snd many super cool stories to tell about the places and himself. The whole day was smooth, fun and greatly organised.
Whole trip fee was around 30€ per person (all entry tickets, and transport included.) only the lunch buffet is at your own expenses.
As a bonus we went to a Muai Thai match in the evening with him - best local experience. (Entry tickets 1000 bath/person).
Can strongly recommend him to anyone ready for adventures ☺️🙏🏻.
