Passeios por Chiang Rai Clock Tower

Our driver, Mr. Nat, is professional and took great care of us. He always arrived an hour early before our departure time and greeted us with a big smile on his face. :)

We had the most amazing day with our tour guide Sunny. He is very enthusiastic, talented, and took good care of us. I have never had a tour guide like him before. The service he provides from the heart truly sets him apart from others. 🫶 From excellent service, great trivia, handmade bamboo crafts, special sky lantern activity over sunset in the middle of rice fields, to his careful driving - this day tour is one of the most incredible experiences I've had so far as a frequent traveller. Anybody would be lucky to have Sunny as guide. The tour itinerary itself is packed with unique and grand temples (something the Thai are really good at) and cultural/historical significance. It was also an awe inspiring experice to meet the "Kayang" (long neck tribe) women and to realize that those rings are actually heavy! What a sacrfice to wear those daily from a very young age. Lunch was a great selection of organically grown healthy and yummy food 👍

The guide was great and informative. I liked that our guide wore a company shirt so we could easily spot them. I also liked that he would brief us in the van or by hand, which gave us more time to look around. The temples we went to were amazing; I highly recommend them.

Pan fue nuestro guía durante este viaje. Pudimos visitar muchos lugares como el Templo Blanco (Wat Rong Khun), el Templo Azul (Wat Rong Suea), Wat Huay Pla Kang o la Diosa de la Misericordia, la plantación de té Choui Fong donde almorzamos, el Triángulo de Oro y su mirador, el Museo del Opio y Long Neck Thasut, donde compramos algunos recuerdos. Fue una gran experiencia ver lo que es Chiang Rai.

This Old Town day tour was truly excellent value, all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was simply perfect. He is Thai, but speaks both Chinese and English extremely fluently. Especially when explaining dynastic history in Chinese, his logic was very clear, and there were absolutely no communication barriers. What impressed us most was that he even brought his own exquisite historical materials and before-and-after comparison photos, allowing us to compare the ancient sites with their past appearance. History instantly came alive, no longer just looking at stone buildings. During the tour, he also patiently taught us to speak Thai. Under the scorching Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots for photos and explanations, making our trip relaxed and comfortable. We truly hope every group can encounter such an excellent guide like Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to specifically request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand"!

The best way to enjoy Phuket is definitely island hopping and water activities, but the boat rides can be quite long, so make sure you get enough sleep the night before, otherwise, the boat trip the next day will be unbearable. It's recommended to book your tour online in advance; they will contact you via email to arrange hotel pick-up times. We had a comfortable 9-seater shared ride. Upon arrival at the pier, there were coffee, drinks, some small biscuits, and toast, so those who didn't have time for breakfast could eat there. Bottled water was available for free on the boat, and lunch was a buffet on Phi Phi Island. On the return trip, fruit was provided. If you don't plan on making additional purchases, you don't need to bring too much money. At the end, the guide asked each person for a tip (you can choose not to give one), which felt a bit awkward, but I was very grateful to the captain and crew, so I did tip them.

Luxurious boat. Helpful staff to make people to snorkeling who are not so confident. Good food. Only drawback is since the boat is big it cannot go near the shore so you don't get to get down at any of the beach side.

It was a good trip to experience Thai culture and see their lifestyle. I just hope we travelled earlier because traffic was bad. Nevertheless, it was really fun! Aum and Bank were such incredible guides. Buffalo Cafe is a great side trip as well. ♥️
