Chiang Mai Kierrokset

Our guide Mr. Poppy was excellent! He was on time with the schedule and knowlegeable with the history/information of each places. As a solo traveller I had fun — from the New Elephant Home to Long Neck Village and culminating with a visit to the Bua Tong Waterfall. Mr. Poppy encourage me (us) to climb thru the waterfall I didn't expect it but luckily I'm prepared! Moreover, he takes good pictures and is prompt in sending those too. I would like to thank Mr. Poppy for being an exceptional tour guide. To add, he knows our names and is familiar of everyone.

I was very happy to participate in this tour. The day before departure, I called to confirm the vehicle, and the staff spoke English! (Though I'm not sure how to contact them if you don't have a Thai phone number.) I recommend listing your hotel as the pickup location; it's very convenient if the driver can pick you up directly! It's truly great value for money! There was also a significant discount for three people traveling together! Playing with the elephants was so much fun—it felt very pure to be in nature with them. You can get up close to the elephants 🐘😍, they're adorable! The bamboo rafting in the afternoon was also very relaxing! Overall, I highly recommend this tour for its excellent value! Group size: 8 people. Tour guide: Thai guides who speak English, and some also speak Chinese.

We had a great time on our Chiang Rai day tour! 🩵 The trip was well-organized, enjoyable, and very informative. Our guide (Raine) was friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the history and culture of each place we visited. The temples were beautiful, and everything was explained clearly without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a memorable experience and definitely worth it. Highly recommended! ✨

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.

10/10, kannatti. Pääsimme putouksille, kun siellä ei ollut liikaa ihmisiä. Varattu aika oli täydellinen, jos nousi toiselta tasolta ylöspäin. Näkymä oli upea ja kuljettaja/opas oli myös todella mukava. Saimme ilmaisia vesipulloja ja teetä/kahvia kahvilasta. Kahvilan koirat ovat niin mukavia ja hyvin käyttäytyviä. Katsoimme norsuja kaukaa ja lahjoitimme niiden hyvälle asialle. Ja churrot olivat myös niin hyviä. Kaiken kaikkiaan nautimme siitä todella paljon ja se oli hintansa arvoinen.

Upea kierros upean oppaan, Jamesin, kanssa. Erittäin informatiivinen, avoin monille kysymyksille, varmisti viihtyvyytemme ja ehdotti lisää paikkoja vierailla, jotta Chiang Maista saisi kaiken irti. James on erittäin suositeltava opas. Hän on rauhallinen ja hänellä on aina iso hymy kasvoillaan. Varaan tämän kierroksen varmasti uudelleen, jos vierailen perheeni kanssa.

Äitini ja minä nautimme todella koko päivän White & Blue Temple -kulttuurikierroksesta. Se oli upea kokemus hyvällä palvelulla, ja opas selitti kulttuuria ja historiaa erittäin hyvin. Opimme paljon ja nautimme todella koko matkasta.

Unfortunately, the tour started a bit outside the main area, which I found a little disappointing. Otherwise, I'm absolutely thrilled. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained a lot. He also answered questions promptly. He made a special effort to integrate everyone into the group and gave us some tips and information. The temples were also breathtaking, and I don't regret doing it. To top it off, our tour guide even gave us mini pineapples at the end.

Kaikki sujui melko sujuvasti ja tehokkaasti! Kun sinut on noudettu ja saavut paikalle, kaikki tapahtuu melko nopeasti, ja ennen kuin huomaatkaan, olet jo ilmassa! Erittäin ikimuistoinen kokemus!
