  1. Amy_H

    Our guide was amazing for our day of visiting Chiang Rai. We were traveling with kids ages 15-4 so it was quite challenging at times but she engaged with them and gave us the right amount of information plus treats and stories. Our driver was also very professional and drove very safely.

  2. Scott_D

    Had a wonderful full day (10 hrs) trip to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai. The solo trip suited me as I could spend the time how I wanted to and the guide, Puma, was great company. Lunch was local favourite, Khao Soi, and the four temples visited were all varied and worth visiting

  3. Ying_H

    Pim was excellent in explaining different stories of the temples. She was very passionate and cared about each of us. She also got us snacks and ice creams along the way which made our ride much more fun. Highly recommend to everyone!

    We booked this tour with my wife and we were not disappointed. Our tour guide/driver Puma was absolutely excellent. She has very in depth knowledge of the temples’ history and she was more than happy to take many pictures of us at each temple. She was very patient and organized. We definitely recommend this private tour for people that want to go at their own pace.

    Our tour with May was amazing!! Every single temple was beautiful, and May was very knowledgable about them all. She made sure to take many pictures of us as well, and the lunch place we went to was so delicious!!! This was our favorite tour in Thailand. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

    I personally thank our guide Puma for being patient and caring to my elders. She does not only make sure their comfort and safety she also engaged them in convesation. Being in a private group has the benefit to getting full attention and for such a day tour i would suggest that to anyone. Puma is also our driver and she displayed caution and truly grateful for her as we arrived back later than expected due to the slowness we moved around. We are all tired at the end of the wonderful dayout to Chiangrai and she drove us safely back.
    Hope to see her the next time we visit again

    We had an unforgettable day! Pop our guide was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! It was a very long day but the experience was absolutely worth it! We would
    Highly recommend this tour!

  9. Todd_B

    Our guide, Tu, was the best. Professional, on time, knowledgeable, and friendly! He made the whole experience enjoyable from top to bottom with his banter and companionship along the tour to Chiang Rai. I’d recommend this tour, and befriending Tu, to anyone spending any time in Chiang Mai if you want to get immersed in northern Thai culture outside of the city. 10/10 recommend to friends & strangers alike.

  10. Ekaterina_B

    Very pleasant journey and stunning 4 temples with a very attentive guide. Highly recommended 😊😊😊
    Amazing Chiang Rai temples are unique and absolutely must see
    We liked our guide Pop a lot and all the temples are worth seeing

  11. Jane_C

    I had a great experience with the guide Puma. She was knowledgeable, considerate of how long to spend at each temple, took great pictures, and also brought me to an amazing authentic Thai restaurant for lunch. This is definitely one of the highlights of my trip to SE Asia. I’d recommend this tour as well as Puma to any travellers considering it.

  12. Katie_M

    What a beautiful and informative tour. Our guide, Danny, was so knowledgeable and personable. He really made the whole day super special for us. We also want to thank Koko, the driver for being a great driver and getting us there and back safely. The roads can be a bit challenging when raining.
    We saw 4 temples, each with their own story and characteristics. Danny had a ton of information about each location and it was quite impressive. We learned so much with this day trip. We are really glad that we booked this trip. The site won’t allow us to upload photos, but will try to at a later date. Highly recommend this trip!!

  13. Shani_M

    Amazing guide and very knowledgeable, choose beautiful temples, some not full of tourists which allows enjoyable experience exploring

  14. Anca_S

    Hello! We have been in this trip 2days ago. All i want to say is that i am glad i took it with this agency. Even the trip was long (aprox 12h) we didn’t felt tired at the end of the day, the staff was amazing (huge thanks and congratulations to our tour staff: the driver and Mr. Oak, our guide). The white temple is much beautiful than google says 😂 (all the temples were nice but the white one was more for our taste, let’s say).
    Congrats and keep up with the good work!

    We had a great day exploring the temples of Chiang Rai with our tour guide, Pop. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We stopped at a hot springs to soak our feet and loved learning about the beautiful temples.

  16. Sandra_S

    M was the perfect tour guide for a perfect day. As a driver he was prompt, safe, polite and considerate of our needs. We learned a lot of interesting history and facts about the temples and Thailand in general. M answered so many questions his head is probably still spinning. Our lunch spot was local and delicious. M was also a great photographer! We have some great shots of both of us on our tour. Cannot thank M enough for an extremely memorable day in Chiang Rai, definitely recommend it!

  17. Ka_H

    We had an awesome full day visiting various temples in Chiang Rai with our tour guide, Jackie. She was knowledgeable on every temple we visited. I appreciate a little history. Jackie and our driver picked us up on time from hotel. They were both very polite and kind; highly recommend this tour.

  18. Jenny_P

    Austin (guide) and Art (driver) were great. They explained things that we were looking at, they were prompt and quick when we were done and since it was a private tour they were accommodating when we needed anything. Their friendship also made the trip more fun! Glad I booked this trip.

  19. Garrett_E

    Our guide was Pop, and we would highly recommend him! He was very knowledgeable about the temples we visited and offered a lot of history and Thai culture on the drive (3ish hours one way from Chiang Mai.) The day took about 11+ hours and while it was a long one, it was definitely worth every min. We visited 4 temples- each was so different and uniquely beautiful. Pop is a wonderful photographer and knows all of the best spots to take memorable pictures.

  20. beatrice_g

    All the temples are “contemporary” temples and give you a different overview of the Buddhist architecture. This one day immersive experience is well done and our guide was open to explain us all the details.

  21. Raelene_S

    This was an amazing all day trip to four different temples. Our guide was awesome and knew the history of each temple. I highly suggest this tour if you want to see everything in a day.

  22. Sharon_m

    Mae was awesome!! She had very good energy and was super knowledgeable about all the temples. The best part about the tour is that we were able to see less crowded/touristy temples. So it really made for a more authentic experience. You’re in the car for a while, but the van is so comfortable so it’s easy to take a nap. Lunch is delicious. Overall, amazing experience!

  23. Joel_Y

    What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Honey, took care of our every need. They moved the visits around to avoid crowds and lunch was a great experience of local cuisine. If you have the option of AC and a buffet vs no AC and local food go with the local food you won’t regret. April is a smoky time but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the sights. We learned a lot and can’t recommend the this experience enough.

  24. MarieMarmeline_P

    Ended up being a private tour which was amazing as we handle the pacing. Austin our guide was great. Wished he had a bit more historical context, but we walked away with the needed information. The sites we visited were amazing and totally worth the full day. Lunch was delicious.

  25. Jacob_H

    M was an awesome tour guide. He was very informative and allowed us to take our time at each of the sites. It was a very long and hot day, but the sites were beautiful and M always had water for us and took us to a fantastic place for lunch.
    Some of the other reviews note the length of the trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, but we didn’t have any issues as we knew going into it the distance between the cities. A day very well spent.

  26. Becka_R

    Wowowow. Book this tour! It’s a long day but it’s totally worth it. Our tour guide, Honey, and driver, Mr Aht (sp?) were truly amazing hosts and turned this day into one we will never forget. Honey is the sweetest human in existence and must be protected at all costs. We love her. She is the Thai people personified. Gracious, happy, welcoming, and proud of her heritage. We learned so much from her and felt we really got a true glimpse into Northern Thai culture. Everytime we got back to the van, our driver had replenished the water and ice, as it was 105 degrees and smoky as heck the day we did our tour. Best day ever!!!!!!

  27. Charles_L

    A Very good tour Guide (Mr. Chugkapong Sakaew AKA Austin). He knows well about all the places we went to

  28. Frederick_K

    The tour guide Puma was great! Your went as exactly as advertised each step of the way. Really informative and interesting.

  29. Lydia_M

    Out of our 8 days in Thailand, the highlight of our entire trip was our exceptional tour guide, Honey, born and raised in Chiang Rai. Together with our driver, Mr. Art, they formed a remarkable team that left a lasting impression on our trip. Honey’s expertise and dedication allowed us to immerse ourselves in the vibrant Thai and specifically Chiang Rai culture through visits to iconic sites and delightful culinary experiences.
    Honey anticipated which locations would be more crowded when and perfectly adjusted our schedule to avoid peak visit times. Our adventure began at the Rainbow Temple (Wat Rong Khun), where Honey’s knowledge and enthusiasm brought the temple’s vibrant symbolism to life. We then explored the Red Pagoda (Wat Phra Kaew) and the Goddess of Mercy, gaining insight into their spiritual significance. We then headed to the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), completely unique and stunning.
    The tour culminated at the renowned White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), where Honey’s in-depth knowledge deepened our understanding of its history, the artistry, and symbolism. Her insightful commentary enriched our visit, ensuring we appreciated the temple’s grandeur.
    Honey’s thoughtful selection of Dee & Tip, a local eatery, for lunch introduced us to authentic Thai cuisine. The flavors were exceptional, allowing us to savor the essence of Thai gastronomy.
    In a delightful surprise, Honey took us to the Akha Mino Coffee Roastery, providing a glimpse into Thailand’s coffee culture. Her attention to detail and commitment to showcasing diverse aspects of Thai culture truly enhanced our journey.
    Throughout the tour, Honey’s genuine care and passion for her country were evident. Her warm and welcoming approach made us feel like cherished friends. With Honey as your guide and Mr. Art as your driver, you’re in excellent hands for an unforgettable Thai adventure.
    In conclusion, I highly recommend embarking on a Chiang Rai day trip through this service, specifically requesting Honey if you can. Her expertise, attentiveness, and dedication to providing an immersive experience are unmatched. You’ll create lasting memories and gain a deeper appreciation for Thailand’s rich cultural tapestry.

    Our tour guide AusTin, was excellent! Best guide we had in Thailand! He was very knowledgeable offering interesting details of every place we visited. AusTin was always happy to help us with our pictures; we were traveling as a family and his help in getting pictures with everyone in them was greatly appreciated! He was very detailed, had lots of patience and gave us plenty of time to explore each place we visited. At the end of the tour, AusTin treated us to a tasting of one of Thailand’s most delicious fruits, this was very thoughtful and everyone loved it! AusTin really showed he cared not only about sharing facts but also providing a memorable experience to all!
