Great intro to Chiang Rai

Published on Jan, 2025

White temple was beautiful and sparkling especially when under the sun. Golden triangle had an interesting history. The tour guide Nong and the driver Richard did a great job in making a long day interesting and manageable. Lunch spot and coffee spot were both great.

Wonderful experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour with Tui was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, it was thoughtfully planned and executed. The highlight of our day was visiting the stunning White Temple – its intricate details and breathtaking beauty left us in awe. Tui shared fascinating insights about the temple’s history and symbolism, making the visit even more meaningful. We also visited another serene Buddhist temple, where Tui’s extensive knowledge of Buddhist traditions and architecture truly shone. Along the way, the tour included well-timed stops that allowed us to relax, enjoy the scenery, and stay comfortable throughout the journey. Tui was an exceptional guide – incredibly well-informed, friendly, and attentive. He answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm, and he even offered us excellent tips for exploring the area further. If you’re considering this tour, I wholeheartedly recommend it, especially with Tui as your guide. His expertise and warm personality made this experience unforgettable!

Wonderful day trip to Chiang Rai to see the white temple and golden triangle with a really great guide.

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great day exploring Chiang Rai on this well-organized tour! Our guide, Aom, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer questions. The White Temple was breathtaking, with its intricate details and surreal design, truly a must-see. The visit to the Golden Triangle was fascinating, offering great views and insight into its history. The itinerary was well-paced, and the transportation was comfortable throughout. This trip is perfect for anyone wanting to experience the highlights of Chiang Rai in a single day. Highly recommended!

Fabulous trip

Published on Jan, 2025

Perfect day trip to Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle. Driver and Guide were fantastic. Stopped for breaks as it was a long day and lunch food provided at a local restaurant was tasty. All places visited were very interesting and the guide gave useful information on each one. 10/10 trip.
