Chiang Rai Province Jednodňové výlety

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!

Úžasný výlet s úžasným sprievodcom a vodičom! Táto prehliadka stála za tie peniaze a čas, pretože všetky chrámy boli na rozdiel od všetkých, ktoré sme videli v Thajsku. Náš sprievodca, P. Sing, bol naozaj nápomocný pri fotení našej skupiny a poskytol skvelé informácie o každom chráme. Dokonca dal našej skupine zadarmo mini ananásy! 100% odporúčam.

Chrám v Chiang Rai je absolútne nádherný. Náš sprievodca nám veľmi dobre vysvetlil jeho históriu, čo urobilo návštevu ešte zmysluplnejšou. Mali sme tiež dostatok času na samostatné preskúmanie chrámových priestorov. Bol to úžasný zážitok a určite stojí za návštevu.

Výlet bol pre krátkodobých cestovateľov v Chiang Mai cennou skúsenosťou. Návšteva atrakcií v Chiang Rai bola úžasná, okrem hrboľatej trojhodinovej jazdy tam a späť, ostatné bolo úžasné. Bufet s jedlom bol dobrý a ponúkal viacero možností, náš sprievodca vysvetľoval veľmi pokojne a snažil sa fotiť. Odporúčam všetkým.

Nabité dni, ktoré splnili všetko, čo sľuboval itinerár, a ešte viac. Bolo nám pridelených: 20 minút pri horúcich prameňoch; 40 minút v dedine Karen s dlhými krkmi; 1 hodina v Bielom chráme; 30 minút v Modrom chráme; 40 minút v múzeu Čierny dom; 20 minút na vyhliadkovej plošine Zlatý trojuholník, po ktorej nasledovala 40-minútová plavba.

Excellent all the way around. Literally nothing to complain about. Would book again. Great experience with a great guide and driver.
