Baandam Museum tours

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.

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.

Pan was our guide during this trip. We were able to visit a lot of places such as White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea), Wat Huay Pla Kang or the Goddess of Mercy, Choui Fong Tea plantation where we had our lunch, Golden Triangle and its view point, Opium Museum, and Long Neck Thasut where we bought some souvenirs. It was a great experience seeing what Chiang Rai is.

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.

Our driver, Mr Nat is professional and take good care of us. He always arrive an hour early before our departing time and greet us with a big big smile on his face. =)

Recommend doing at least a 2-day 1-night instead of a day tour. The journey per way was 3+hrs each. Our guide Mr P.Sing (we booked mandarin speaking) was very knowledgable and accommodating. The tour also comes with a dedicated driver as well as a 9 seater car - very spacious for our group of 4. Our driver Mr P.Sorn was also excellent - despite the number of reckless drivers on the road and long journey, he was able to drive safely and the long ride was comfortable as well. Do note that lunch is not included even though the "What to expect" says so. Unfortunately, we did not try the buffet that Mr P.Sing recommended due to not feeling well.

Great excursion, beautiful temples. Our host Job was very kind, great communication and has a great sense of humor. 10/10
