5.00A great tour! We were nervous it would feel rushed, but it was well paced and we didn’t feel like we needed extra time at any of the spots. Our guide Nat was incredibly informative and shared with us so much about Chiang Rai and Thailand as a whole. She taught us common phrases, how to count, and even what our names are in Thai! Nat definitely went above and beyond. She is the best tour guide I’ve experienced thus far. The tour is a large group (40 people) but it didn’t feel crowded once we were at the spots. Super organized and a great day trip!
White, Blue, and Red temples.

5.00Great way to see multiple temples and landmarks in one trip. Chiang Rai is about 3 hours from Chiang Mai so this excursion makes it very convenient when visiting Chiang Mai. Highly recommended!
Hot spring, temples and Karen Tribe tour

5.00We had Kavee as a guide and her many years of knowledge, history and passion for all the different locations giving a brilliant inisight of the Karen culture and temples, which greatly enhanced the entire experience. Nothing was ever too much trouble and despite requiring specific deadlines to keep the trip itinerary on time, we never felt rushed (even when people arrived back at the coach a little late). Very enjoyable experience, but as per the itinery suggestions, don't book if you have an evening flight on the same day, as the time window is not cast in stone and can take up to the suggested maximum of 13.5 hours if you have a few stragglers that push the time constraints, which is outside the guide's control.
Excellent!!!

5.00My wife and I recently took the full day Chaing Mai Chaing Rai trip and It was amazing! Kawee was incredibly knowlegable about the history of Thailand, their hill tribes, the evolution of the culture and religion and could translate this information so beautifully to us in such a clear and nuianced way. Thank you for your love of learning and sharing with others.
