Chiang Rai Province Turer

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!

Fantastisk tur med en fantastisk turguide og sjåfør! Denne turen var så verdt pengene og tiden, for alle templene var ulikt noe vi har sett i Thailand. Turguiden vår, P. Sing, var veldig hjelpsom med å ta bilder av gruppen vår og ga god innsikt om hvert eneste tempel. Han ga til og med gratis miniananas til gruppen vår! Anbefales 100%.

Tempelet i Chiang Rai er helt nydelig. Reiselederen vår forklarte historien veldig godt, noe som gjorde besøket enda mer meningsfullt. Vi hadde også god tid til å utforske tempelområdet på egen hånd. Det var en fantastisk opplevelse og absolutt verdt et besøk.

Turen var en verdifull opplevelse for de som tok en kort tur i Chiang Mai. Å besøke attraksjonene i Chiang Rai var fantastisk, bortsett fra den humpete 3-timers turen frem og tilbake, resten var fantastisk. Matbuffeten var god med mange valgmuligheter, og turguiden vår forklarte veldig rolig og gjorde en innsats for å ta bilder. Anbefales til alle.

En fullpakket dag som leverer alt som ble lovet i reiseplanen og mer. Vi fikk tildelt: 20 minutter ved de varme kildene; 40 minutter i Long Neck Karen-landsbyen; 1 time ved Det hvite tempelet; 30 minutter ved Det blå tempelet; 40 minutter ved Black House Museum; 20 minutter ved utsiktspunktet Golden Triangle, etterfulgt av et 40-minutters cruise.

Guiden vår heter But, og for å være ærlig er But den beste guiden jeg har møtt på alle turene jeg har vært med på. I tillegg til å fortelle oss om ulike planter i fjellet, var han også veldig humoristisk og morsom. But er en entusiastisk guide som var opptatt med å lage bambuskopper til oss hele veien. Uten ham tror jeg ikke denne turen ville vært så morsom! Hvis du ønsker å ha But som guide, kan du kanskje bestille turen direkte hos Coconuts Tours!
