5.00A wonderful day trip to Chiang Rai! Our tour guide, Peter, was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day well organized. He brought us to the three iconic temples, sharing interesting stories and local insights along the way. The pace was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly, making it an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Peter as your guide!
Must go place

5.00This is a must see place if your in chiang Mai. The photo and videos you see online do not match up with the experience of being their. If you get a good dry day just jump in taxi and go, Every one now where it is. Entrance fee 200 baht, or you could wander round the other temple in the area not just white temple, 200 baht is nothing . Try getting their early. 20 minutes from city. If your planning do all the temple in one day as I did, just talk to taxi drive he will be pleased to take you for the day, This way you have not time frame you stay as long as you like. And another great thing about hiring taxi he took us to other temple not mentioned online where the thai go. I will not mention her. Will be writing review soon.

A Temple Tour not to be missed

5.00This is a full day tour travelling to the far north of Thailand near to its borders with Laos and Myanmar, so be prepared to spend a long time in the car. It is however totally worth it. You will visit the three villages of Rong Kuhn, Rong Suea Ten and Huay Pla Kang in the Chiang Rai region and their Temples ‘White’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Red’ respectively. Each of these places is a stunning experience and we learned much from our guide Ratchavasit who was friendly and helpful throughout, answering all and any questions throughout the day. He focused particularly on the sustainability aspects of the trip and the history of each temple, emphasising their central function within the villages in which they are located. We must also congratulate our driver Mr Boi who drove in a manner and with skill which clearly demonstrated his consideration for the comfort of all nine of his passengers. We would definitely recommend this tour and we would happily travel with Ratchavasit and Mr Boi again. Thank you! Lynn and Gareth
What a Fantastic Tour!!

Last day ruined

1.00COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! We booked with them for a day trip to Chiang Rai. Our meetup time was 7:30. We showed up 2 minutes early only to see our bus leave. We then called the company to understand why our chauffeur had left early, only to find out that they had told the chauffeur the meetup time was 7:15! We tried everything, but they did nothing to accommodate us! We sent proof of their wrong doing, passed many calls, but to no avail. THEY COMPLETELY RUINED OUR LAST DAY OF VACATION! Do not waste your time with them, they do not care about their clients.
Once in a life time!! Amazing experience
