Chiang Rai One Day Trip from Chiang Mai

It was quite stunning to see the white temple in Chiang Rai. The blue temple was great too. The black museum has some adult contents hence if travelling with children, you need to be aware of it. Long drive of 3.5 hours to Chiang Rai and back is probably worth it!

We visited four locations, and the Long Neck Karen people didn't seem very happy 😞. If you can, please consider buying some of their handicrafts. Further inside, there are many families, so you can spread out your purchases! Wat Rong Khun (the White Temple) is truly stunning, very impressive and beautiful. The Blue Temple is also magnificent, and outside, you can try butterfly pea flower ice cream. The Black House Museum was more ordinary, featuring many artifacts assembled by artists themselves. Please note that transportation is via shared car, so it can be quite crowded. Also, some people participate in certain attractions while others don't, meaning those not participating might have to wait outside. Since we visited in April, the people of Chiang Mai and Myanmar were burning fields, so the air quality might be poor, and the weather was very hot. If the car's air conditioning isn't strong enough, it can be quite uncomfortable! The journey is long, but there will be stops for breaks along the way.

The tour guide was so nice, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Our tour guide was Rainee. I did enjoy the whole tour! I was not expecting that I will have the chance to visit Northern Thailand’s boundary, Golden Triangle via boat, seeing Myanmar, Laos, mountains of Tibet from afar via the Mekong River. For me, this was the most amazing part of the tour! I’ve been to lots pf temples but the White Temple so far is the most fabulous one. I love the blue coconut ice cream we had outside the Blue Temple. The Black Museum features different kids of artwork inspired with black-colored artworks by the Chinese artist himself. The temple has a cool environment outside surrounded by trees and there’s a lake there too. Our lunch was bland or maybe that’s really how Northaern Thai people prepare their food not to make it too salty so that foods served are still healthy. Overall, I enjoyed the whole tour It’s worth the money you paid for. Highly recommended!

If you don’t mind spending about 8 hours in the car for a 550 km round trip, this tour is totally worth it. I loved all the stops—Long Neck Village, the hot springs, White Temple, Blue Temple, Black House, and the Mekong boat trip to the Golden Triangle near the Laos–Myanmar–Thailand border. The driver was very professional and smooth, no honking or sudden braking. The price was reasonable for such a long journey. Big thanks to our guide Diamon, the driver, and the whole team. Highly recommend if you’re short on time.

Our tour guide was friendly and professional, and she shared a lot of informative historical background with us. We visited many places in just one day, which made it a long schedule, but it was a truly great and rewarding experience.

We visited a lot of tourist spots in Chiang Rai - all that is written in the program / schedule. It is.a full packed tour. The long drive is worth it. The tour guide expertly planned the tour for us to experience all tourist spots well.

1. Our guide, Ms. Pim, provided concise and informative explanations, utilizing the travel time between destinations to brief us beforehand, which I found excellent. 2. The journey was long, but the itinerary was appropriately segmented, allowing opportunities to get off the bus, walk around, and use the restrooms at reasonable intervals. 3. This was a group tour, and although some of us chose slightly different activities, the transportation wasn't significantly delayed. The Black House Museum is notable for its architecture, furniture, and unusual animal skin collection. The Wonderland Cafe, chosen by other members, is perfect for taking photos and sharing on social media. Enjoying a coffee at the end of a hot day was also a comfortable treat, catering to different preferences. 4. Be prepared that some restrooms along the way may be less developed. 5. Overall, I found the tour to be of great value. Upon returning to Chiang Mai city, the guide accommodated our request to be dropped off at the night market, which I also found to be an ideal arrangement.

This was a very exhausting tour yet informative and worth every money you spent. You just have to be lucky that all participants of this joiner are punctual and follow time schedule so you can enjoy all scenery and tourist spots covered. Suzy was our tour guide and she is very informative and engaging all throughout the tour. lunch buffet is also included in this tour.

was a good trip for the whole day, the tour guide able to explain everything and we understand with each other. The long neck, blue, white and the black house arw so amazing.

A wonderful experience! Beautiful temples, and our guide Earth was such a sweetheart. He was full of knowledge, and really made sure we were taken care of the whole day.
