Exploring the many Karen Long Neck communities in Thailand offers some of the most unique experiences on earth. The enchantment and elegance surrounding the tradition of using brass rings for elaborate adornments is best appreciated firsthand, rather than merely through pictures. We had concerns about the potential exploitation these hill tribe communities may face, resembling human zoos, but opted to explore nonetheless. The experience is akin to stepping inside a live edition of National Geographic; it must be seen to be truly comprehended.

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!

Chiang Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai-Long Neck Hill Tribe and golden triangle on boat - This tour was incredible! Visiting the Long neck tribe and learning about the culture, then visiting the temples, and later the golden triangle was a fascinating and unforgettable experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and energetic, making the day seamless and enjoyable. This was a unique cultural experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore chiang Rai’s temples, long neck village, and the golden triangle!

Everything you need to see in Chiang Rai! - I don’t understand why this tour has mixed feedback - it's been AWESOME! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we saw everything worth seeing in Chiang Rai. The price was also very reasonable, so I highly recommend it!

Embrace the Experience - The most memorable was the travel time. Although I’m glad to still get the tour since the three temples was something different from the previous temples I have visited. I guess the travel time is a part of the experience to embrace. The tour guide was very considerate to our needs.

Intense day of walking through Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. - It was a super-complete excursion. We visited with the Coco guide the place where the long-necked women are, the white, blue and black temples and in Chiang Rai we reached the Mekong River at its border with Laos and sailed.
We returned to Chiang Mai in the evening.
We saw elephants.

Great All Encompassing Guided Trip - 18 hrs of fun. Saw all the major sites around Chiang Rai. The guides were fun and helpful. Loved the pace.
Make sure you bring a power bank to recharge your phone or camera.

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.

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
