Full-Day Chiang Rai Tour with Scorpion Tours – So Much to See! - We did the full-day small-group tour in August and had a fantastic experience. Hotel pick-up was punctual, the van was comfortable and air-conditioned, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. A few attractions required extra payments, but this was clearly explained from the start - just remember to bring extra cash. Highlights: - Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) : The exterior is absolutely breathtaking. We didn’t enjoy the interior as much because of the modern pop-culture murals, which felt a bit “trash culture.” It’s not a traditional temple but a contemporary art installation. Still worth it for the outside alone. - Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple) : Beautiful, vibrant, and unique. Don’t miss the butterfly-pea “blue” coconut ice cream from the stall outside! - Baan Dam Museum (Black House): We opted out of this stop due to its dark/macabre theme (not our style) and instead enjoyed a peaceful countryside walk and browsed a lovely local shop while the rest of the group visited. - Long Neck Tribe Village: Interesting cultural stop (a bit touristy). - Choui Fong Tea Plantation: Stunning lush green hills, relaxing vibes, tea tasting, and tea-based desserts - Golden Triangle: An iconic region with panoramic views of the Mekong River and rich history. You can see where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet at this famous point. We also visited the large golden Buddha. The whole area has a quiet, charming village vibe. It may be underrated, but we thought it was absolutely superb! - Opium Museum: Very informative and engaging. A must-see if you enjoy history. Overall: A well-organised tour with clear communication and the flexibility to skip stops you’re not interested in. You see so many highlights in one day without feeling rushed!

Chiang Rai tour - Our guide Gitah was just incredible, not just the trip was amazing but he animed it perfectly, very professional.recomend it to anyone. Only negative thing is the Karen village very, very expensive and not really sure if the money really goes to them, and no ceremony no real immersion in their culture, you just look at them you can take foto of them and their whole village is a market. Don t recomend the village very bizarre experience, but other than that, everything was perfect and really good guide and driver🙏

An interesting and varied tour in Chiang Rai and surroundings - This tour was very rich and varied: particular and fascinating temples, interesting landscapes and places; it was more beautiful than expected. It allows you to visit in a single day places a little 'distant from each other. The value for money, in my opinion, is good. The driver drove well and the guide, Mai, was very nice, welcoming and chatty: he did not make a trivial description of the places, but added a lot of interesting information. Would definitely recommend it!

Chiang Rai full day tour review, July 2025 - We did the Chiang Rai tour with Poopy. It was a marvelous experience. The drive was smooth from the hotel with a nice van. Guide has good english talking skills which is not always the case around here. He's also quite funny. He's always available to answer questions or open for tour modifications. Our group wasn't interested in the Karen village as we all at least once, so Poopy modified the day according to our needs and we could enjoy the other places a little more.

🌟 Amazing Chiang Rai Experience with Scorpions Tours! 🌟 - Coming from Hong Kong, I was looking for a well-organized, stress-free way to explore Chiang Rai, and Scorpions Tours delivered beyond expectations! The tour guide and driver were incredibly friendly and polite, making the trip comfortable and enjoyable. The sights were absolutely worth visiting, each offering a unique charm that sets Chiang Rai apart from Chiang Mai. The free lunch buffet was a great touch, and every stop was thoughtfully planned. I loved this experience so much that I’m already considering booking a private tour to explore the remaining gems of Chiang Rai! If you're looking for a memorable, hassle-free adventure, this is the perfect tour! Highly recommend it!

Fun-Filled Day Exploring Chiang Rai - I had a very fun day with a friendly tour guide and i highly recommended this full day tour if you're ever planning to visit Chiang Rai for a day.This is because we went to a lot of places so be sure to wear something comfortable (or nice outfits for the gram 🙂‍↕️). Overall it was a very fun experience and i also learned a lot when we visited the museums.
