Amazing day! - Our guid Kathi was wonderful! The sites for this tour were very interesting for both my 11 yr old son and myself. It was a very long day, but we were well taken cared of! She even bought my son an ice cream because I lost my cc!

Long but worthwhile trip - This is a really long day! But you get to see some really cool things in a short period of time. It is a lot of driving. We stopped at a hot spring/rest stop on the way and then went to the Karen village- mostly shopping after a short discussion. Then off to lunch and the White and Blue Temples and the Black Museum before doing a short boat trip on the Golden Triangle. The temples were beautiful and interesting and the museum was very unique! It was about a 14 hour trip about 3 hours each way and don’t plan for something early the next morning!

Great trip, long day - We had a great time on this tour but is not for everyone. You will be riding from site to site and will be in the car for more time than touring. When you get to a site you will not have a long time to enjoy, typically 30 to 40 minutes. The trip is great for those that want to see all the highlights of Chiang Rai. There are six stops and lunch. The hot spring could have been skipped. All the other sites are great. I would have liked to spend more time at each but this tour is a great option for those that wish to take in northern Thailand in one day.

Outstanding, but tired - It was a nice experience and the guide, Katty, was great. The white and blue temple are great places for pictures. The hot spring is not a so much interesting stop. I think you should provide more time at the Blue Temple than the Black House. It was a very long and tire trip, but very rewarding one

Busy but Fun Day of Colors - This was a loooong but really fun day of seeing major sites in Chiang Rai. It’s a great way to see big things if you have limited time. Our guide Miss Coco was awesome and super friendly. I did think there would be a little more to the Golden Triangle portion, but overall everything was good. I liked how we had some time to explore sites on our own as well. Highly recommend!

Interesting, but a very long excursion - Interesting journey. I enjoyed especially the White Palace is very recommendable. Nonetheless it is an extreme long journey lasting 16 hours, so long time on the roads and not for everybody.

So-so experience - The itinerary for this trip covered all the areas we wanted to see in Chiang Rai. Albeit, controversial we were grateful to visit the Longneck Karen Village. Could have done without the Hot Springs stop. Good for bathroom break and 7-eleven. The driver was excellent and very safe. Tour guide was kind, but really did not go in depth on the tour. Lunch was the worst part. Food was tasteless which is not the norm in Thailand. Lots of tourists at the restaurant and was overcrowded. Please consider changing the lunch location for this tour. My four rating is primarily due to safety of the driver and itinerary. I probably could give this a 3.

To long - The tour was a bit to long for my liking, I felt as the trip to the golden triangle wasn’t worth going to the tour guide was very knowledgeable

Go if you like Disney - The guide and the driver were great but in my opinion, it’s not worth it to drive all day to see 2 new temples. Is like going to Disney. The white temple is not even an active temple. Is just an artist exhibit

Lots of stops, but not enough time at each stop. Lots of car time. - Tour guide felt more like an itinerary manager. I was hoping they would stay with us and give us historical information, but instead it was front loaded while still in the car driving to the location and then you rush around trying to figure it out yourself at each stop Not enough time at each location! We were constantly in a rush. It would have been nice to have more than 25 mins at the Blue temple. Boat tour at Golden Triangle was rushed and I couldn’t hear the boat tour guide at all! The speaker system was messed up. Such a bummer to not get that information Otherwise, guide was kind and kept us right on time the whole time. They were even nice enough to help us with an airport drop off in Chiang Rai instead of being taken all the way back to Chiang Mai. We kept our luggage in the van the whole time and it felt safe and well watched. Van was super uncomfortable. It needed new shocks. Sooo bumpy and I was almost sick on the windy roads. Was impossible to sleep
