Chiang Rai

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 cater to everyone in the group. Before the trip, pay attention to the travel agency's messages. They will email you again the day before departure to confirm the meeting time, which in my case was different from the time given at booking. The car arrived very punctually. 8:50 Chiang Rai Hot Spring: The foot bath was super hot, you could only dip your feet in briefly. 9:20 Long Neck Village: There's a cafe on a high spot next to the parking lot, offering distant views. The owner couldn't communicate much in English, so double-check your order. 11:30-12:40 White Temple (Wat Rong Khun): Amazingly beautiful, and the route design is very meaningful. No photos are allowed inside the main hall. 12:50 Lunch: Buffet style, with freshly scooped noodle soup, various Thai desserts, and sweet fruits. 13:50-14:30 Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten): You can take photos with the large Buddha statue at the Blue Temple. Outside the temple, there's a row of shops where you can buy souvenirs and snacks. 14:50-15:30 Black Temple (Baan Dam Museum): The private collection of an artist, with a unique style. 16:30-17:40 Golden Triangle Park (optional boat trip 300/person). We returned to Nimman Road at 22:00, an hour later than the scheduled 21:00. Luckily, I had snacks with me. The streetlights along the route were quite far apart. I recommend that those who get motion sickness take medication beforehand, as the mountain roads there are not very smooth. Although it ended very late, the tour guide remained energetic throughout, providing excellent service.

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 an excellent tour guide! He is very patient, friendly, and informative about the places. I learned a lot from him. All the places are incredible. The hot spring was a bit meh, but it's on the way to Chiang Rai, so why not? The Long Neck Village as well. But you can choose not to enter the village; you can pass the time at the cafe above the entrance. Great coffee with a view! And cozy too! All the temples are so beautiful. We had a safe ride for the return trip, so kudos to the driver, Mr. Man. It's a long day, so make sure you bring and use sunscreen and an umbrella. It was insanely scorching, and then strong rains on the same day. The buffet place was really nice! Lots of choices, and it's right next to the White Temple. The journey back from the Red Temple is about 4 hours; you'll be so tired, so everyone just sleeps 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.

Our tour guide was named But, and honestly, But was the best guide I've ever had on any tour. Besides introducing us to various plant knowledge in the mountains, he was also very humorous and engaging. But was a passionate guide, busy making our bamboo cups the entire way. Without him, I believe this trip wouldn't have been so much fun! If you want to book But directly as your guide, you might be able to book a tour through Coconuts Tours!
