Good tour - Very glad we did the tour out to the white temple. Loved it and also loved seeing so many of his other paintings in the gallery there. The tour guide was very kind and clear, offering good information to go along with the tour. The 1,300 year old temple after the white temple was a great experience, even learning basic tenets of a prayer. Lunch at the local restaurant was good, with things being ready when we arrived. We enjoyed the golden triangle and boat tour, learning about the intersection with Laos and Myanmar, the optimum museum was interesting. The drive back really is about 4-4.5 hours. They stopped about halfway for bathroom and coffee, which was great. If that drive back would be a challenge for you, maybe choose a debite temple tour that doesn’t also add on the golden triangle. Overall, we enjoyed the day!

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.

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.
