GREAT day trip to Chiang Rai! - This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Rainy made me feel like I was her family. She is so happy and wants to make sure you have an enjoyable time. The driver provided smooth travels and also very friendly. We saw so much in one day but never felt to rushed. Rainy made an extra stop per request of another traveler. The temples are amazing and the extra stops were very enjoyable.

Lovely experience - We had a wonderfull day. Cookie and the driver were very nice. All was well organized and we had enough time on each stop to not be in a rush and also to not wait too much the appointment time. Thank you very much for your kindness.

Must see in Chiang Rai - We had a great time seeing all the wonderful temples. The tour was well organized. It was a long drive but we got plenty of breaks and stops in between to break the 3 hour drive there and back. Our tour guide explained and gave us the history of each place before getting there, then let us wonder around and explore the places ourselves.

Temples and talks - The sites are spectacular. The mix of nationalities in the bus to the events added a very pleasant memory to the trip.

Breathtaking sites, worth the travel. - The places visited are worth the many hours in the van. The transport was clean and cool. The included food was good (although no AC). The only downside, in our view, was the guide. Although friendly and helpful, there was not much information provided. We basically went from site to site and saw what there was to see but did not understand much. Tour was supposed to be en English but our guide spoke more Chinese than English. One of the optional stops was a coffee place which turned out to be a Orchid garden. The variety and lushness of this garden was simply inclredible.

On the bus off the bus kind of Day with cool Temples - Listen, You really do get your moneys worth with this trip from Chiang mai to Chiang rai, But it is a LONG DAY. A long day off in and out of busses. Which I know I signed up for, but I think I would prefer to go to chiang rai on my own knowing what I know now. However the tour guide was the nicest person I have ever met and did a good job at explaining everything to the best of her ability. It was a three hour drive to the white temple. One the way there they stop at the hot springs (which are not like American hot springs) you do not get to sit in them, but people do come around sell you eggs to boil if your into that. this is also the first stop to go the bathroom or get snacks. souvenirs or coffee. The next stop was the white temple which we had about ( 1 hour) to explore. It was an okay amount of time to see the things, I just personally think I would have liked to wander more. We then had lunch, it was okay. Then we stopped at the blue temple (30 minutes) then the Big white Buddha (45 minutes) our group voted to check out the coffee/tea garden and it was worth seeing and gave you another chance to get snacks. Last we went to the tea plantation and it was pretty, but just tea and views. Overall it was a good tour if you don't want to go to chiang rai on your own. The temples were beautiful and worth the look at but very touristy. If you want some photos of a white temple without the cloud explore a little more past the main one as they have smaller ones with he same icy aesthetic around.

Short on time, forced longnecks - Unlike most tours, I felt a bit rushed on this one. Felt like I didn't have quite enough time at each location. They also forced a Longneck village stop on our group, it lasted around 15 minutes and cost extra to those that went. We just stayed at the van for ethical reasons, so it was fine, but we still lost time that could have been spent elsewhere (such as stops that were actually on the program).

Waste of a day. - Temples look like they belong in Disneyland. Bizarre. Not worth traveling 3 hr from Chiang Mai. Guide was nice
