Passeios por Baandam Museum

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.

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.

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.

การเดินทางครั้งนี้เป็นประสบการณ์ที่คุ้มค่าสำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวระยะสั้นในเชียงใหม่ การเยี่ยมชมสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวในเชียงรายนั้นยอดเยี่ยมมาก นอกจากการเดินทางที่ขรุขระ 3 ชั่วโมงไปกลับแล้ว ส่วนอื่นๆ ก็ยอดเยี่ยม บุฟเฟต์อาหารดีและมีให้เลือกหลากหลาย ไกด์นำเที่ยวของเราอธิบายอย่างใจเย็นและพยายามถ่ายรูปให้ แนะนำสำหรับทุกคน

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. :)

Recommend doing at least a 2-day 1-night instead of a day tour. The journey per way was 3+hrs each. Our guide Mr P.Sing (we booked mandarin speaking) was very knowledgable and accommodating. The tour also comes with a dedicated driver as well as a 9 seater car - very spacious for our group of 4. Our driver Mr P.Sorn was also excellent - despite the number of reckless drivers on the road and long journey, he was able to drive safely and the long ride was comfortable as well. Do note that lunch is not included even though the "What to expect" says so. Unfortunately, we did not try the buffet that Mr P.Sing recommended due to not feeling well.

Great excursion, beautiful temples. Our host Job was very kind, great communication and has a great sense of humor. 10/10
