Fantastic tour! - We loved our Chiang Rai day trip! Although the van ride was long, it was worth it to experience Chiang Rai while having Chiang Mai as our "home base." Our guide Aom was fantastic!!! She was very knowledgeable, provided lots of great info about every part of our trip, and kept us on schedule. I would highly recommend this tour.

Awesome day - Excellent tour!!! The guide Nong was amazing and so insightful. The driver was kind and provided water and a cooling wipe after each destination. The White Castle was beautiful but The golden triangle/ boat trip was nothing special.

Great highlights trip - If you’re strapped for extra time, definitely take this tour: white temple, hot spring, golden triangle, boat ride on the Mekong, and opium museum tour. It’s definitely a long day with a lot of driving, but Pae and Mr. Thai were great!

Great day trip to see the North of Thailand - White Temple and Golden Triangle are the highlights. Good tour organization, small group and very friendly and informational tour leader.

Lots to see and do but a long day - The tour delivered all the experiences stated and we got to see and experience lots of new things. We did however spend a lot of time on the bus, particularly at the end of the day when the four hour trip back to our hotel was tedious.

Long day with a bad guide - It was a very long day. The White Temple is amazing to see and we had a good amount of time there. But the rest of the tour was a bit lackluster. Golden Triangle is interesting but underwhelming. Biggest issue was with the guide. It was Ms. Nut. She was hard to understand and did not look after the group. She would just start walking quickly to the next thing without looking back or telling us where we were going. There were a few elderly women in the group who struggled to keep up. We even lost her for 5 minutes because we didn’t know what direction she had gone. Took her that long to realize we weren’t with her and come back. She also would tell us where a bathroom was and then say there wasn’t enough time for us to go to it. We were constantly confused and frustrated by her as a guide.
