Chiang Rai Province Day trips

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!

Our tour guide, M, was very kind and dedicated, switching between Chinese and English to assist everyone in the group. Before the trip, pay close attention to the travel agency's messages. The day before departure, they will send an email with the updated meeting time; the one I received was different from what was initially booked. The car arrived exactly on time. 8:50 AM: Chiang Rai Hot Spring. The foot bath was extremely hot, so I could only dip my feet in briefly. 9:20 AM: Long Neck Village. There's a coffee shop on a hill next to the parking lot, offering distant views. The owner had difficulty communicating in English, so it's best to double-check your order. 11:30 AM - 12:40 PM: White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the route design was very meaningful. Photography is not allowed inside the main hall. 12:50 PM: Lunch. It was a buffet with freshly made noodle soup, various Thai desserts, and sweet fruits. 1:50 PM - 2:30 PM: Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten). You can take photos with the large Buddha statue inside the Blue Temple. Outside, there's a row of vendors where you can buy souvenirs and snacks. 2:50 PM - 3:30 PM: Black House (Baan Dam Museum). This is an artist's private collection with a unique style. 4:30 PM - 5:40 PM: Golden Triangle Park (optional boat tour for 300 baht per person). We returned to Nimman Road at 10:00 PM, an hour later than the scheduled 9:00 PM. Thankfully, I had brought snacks for the journey. The streetlights along the route were quite spaced out, and the mountain roads were not very smooth, so I recommend that those prone to motion sickness take medication beforehand. Although the tour ended very late, the guide remained energetic and provided excellent service throughout.

My mum and I really enjoyed the full-day White & Blue Temple Cultural Tour. It was a wonderful experience with good service and the guide explained the culture and history very well. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed the whole trip.

Mr Em is a great tour guide! he's very patient, friendly, and informative about the places. i learnt alot from him. the places are all incredible. hot spring was kinda meh, but its on the way to chiang rai so why not. the long neck village as well. but you can opt not to go in the village, you can kill time at the cafe on top the entrance. great coffee with a view! and cozy too! all the temples are soooo beautiful. we had a safe ride for the return trip so kudos to the driver mr man. its a longggg day so make sure you bring and use sunscreen and umbrella. it was insanely scorching, and then strong rains at the same day. the buffet place was really nice! lots of choices and its right next to the white temple. the journey back from red temple is about 4 hours, you'll be so tired so everyone just sleep in the van. you'll get a break at a petrol station to pee or buy things!

Amazing trip with an amazing tour guide and driver! This tour was so worth the money and time because all of the temples were unlike any of the ones we’ve seen in Thailand. Our tour guide, P. Sing was really helpful in taking photos of our group and provided great insights about each and every temple. He even gave free mini pineapples for our group! 100% would recommend.

The temple in Chiang Rai is absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide explained its history very well, which made the visit even more meaningful. We also had plenty of time to explore the temple grounds on our own. It was a wonderful experience and definitely worth visiting.

The trip was a worthwhile experience for short trippers in chiang mai. visiting chiang rai attractions was amazing, apart from the bumpy 3 hour ride to and from, the others was amazing. Food buffet was good and multiple choices, our tour guide explained very calmly and put effort to take photos. recommended to all.

The Best Guide in Dantewada!Highly recommend Sir Dodo for anyone exploring Dantewada! He is punctual, highly knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour while showing us the absolute best hidden gems of the region. Five stars!
