Great excursion - Ratchavasit was a wonderful guide. He was informative, knowledgeable, and took extreme care to inform us of customs and heritage. The temples were beyond our wildest expectations. The stops were appropriate and we had ample time at each location. Ratchavasit was friendly and kind. He was a perfect guide. Thank you.

Great tour! - Awesome tour that allows you to see three temples in one day, plus a stop at an excellent coffee shop! Our guide Tai was kind and knowledgeable. Despite the long time driving to the temples from Chiang Mai, it’s worth it to see the incredible temples.

Excellent service - Interesting trip. I really enjoyed services of Boon, he was very helpful and informative. The driver also delivered nice job. Be aware, both White Temple and Blue Temple are newly built houses, so do not expect history, but current interesting architecture.

Beautiful, albeit modern temple - This is a beautiful temple with depictions of good and bad. Its color is predominantly white, hence its nickname. It has golden washrooms and a golden temple dedicated to the Hindu god Ganesha.
A modern twist is on the walls of the main temple. Among the religious depictions are modern objects and modern day personalities. They include a depiction of the September Twin Tower attack as well as the faces of Osama bin Laden and George Bush Snr. You may have to look hard to find those two faces, though. No photography is allowed inside the main temple.

Good visit to Chiang Rai - The guide was nice (Ratchavasit) and offered explanations while answering questions. Temples were good, beautiful, but full of tourists. Transport was comfy and offered cold water which was quite useful.
