Chiang Mai Province Turer

I wholeheartedly recommend this Chiang Mai day trip! The entire experience was fantastic, and I must give a big shout-out to our guide, Mr. Poppy! Poppy speaks fluent and authentic Chinese, so communication was completely seamless. He has a fun and humorous personality, constantly sharing local customs and traditions along the way, and even providing detailed educational information about elephants. You can tell he genuinely loves animals; his explanations were lively and heartfelt. The elephants were gentle and playful, and interacting with them up close was incredibly therapeutic. The feeding and walking activities were truly healing and made the trip absolutely worthwhile. The afternoon visit to the Sticky Waterfalls was an even bigger surprise; climbing the unique limestone waterfalls was so much fun, and playing in the water was a great way to cool off and de-stress. The pace of the full-day itinerary was perfectly arranged, not rushed, and just right. Poppy also proactively helped us capture beautiful photos along the way, showing how thoughtful and reliable he is. Overall, the value for money is excellent. If you're coming to Chiang Mai and want to experience an elephant sanctuary plus waterfalls, I strongly recommend choosing Poppy as your guide. I'll definitely look for him again on my next visit to Chiang Mai!

Tenk på det som transport, ikke en tur. Sjåføren var presis og kjørte jevnt, og ga oss beskjed om når vi skulle møtes tilbake ved varebilen. Elsket å sjekke ut Elephant Poo Paper Park (luktet ikke i det hele tatt, haha) og Sticky Waterfall var så kult! Fossene stengte kl. 16.30, så vi ble stresset av parkvokterne mot slutten. Alt i alt verdt det for å slippe å bekymre seg for transport.

Anbefaler denne turen på det sterkeste. Vi likte veldig godt å tilbringe tid med elefanten. Vi vil gjerne fremheve økoparken for de som liker å reise til Chiang Mai, da 50 % av betalingen vil bli brukt til elefantens mat og vedlikehold.

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!

En fantastisk tur med en fantastisk turguide, James. Veldig informativ, åpen for mange spørsmål, sørget for at vi hadde det komfortabelt og foreslo flere steder å besøke for å nyte Chiang Mai fullt ut. James er en sterkt anbefalt turguide. Han er rolig og har alltid et stort smil om munnen. Vil definitivt bestille denne turen igjen hvis jeg besøker med familien min igjen.

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.

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%.

Alt gikk ganske smidig og effektivt! Når du først blir hentet og ankommer stedet, går alt veldig raskt, og før du vet ordet av det er du i luften! En svært minneverdig opplevelse!!
