5.0Great experience with our very good guide Toi and the driver (we forgot his name but he did a great job). The tour combined the view of the stunning and modern White temple with important Thai history, including an ancient temple and the Golden Triangle. Toi gave us great info about the temples, the Buddhist and Thai traditions, the Golden Triangle and the commerce of Opium. It was a very long drive, but it was worth it. The places where we stopped for food and drinks were also very good.
Very long but worthwhile...

5.0Very long but worthwhile day with an excellent informative guide. Kept us moving but didn’t feel too rushed. The white temple is the real highlight but other aspects were enjoyable and interesting as well. Really good meal part way through and comfortable transport with an experienced driver.
Great intro to Chiang Rai

5.0White temple was beautiful and sparkling especially when under the sun. Golden triangle had an interesting history. The tour guide Nong and the driver Richard did a great job in making a long day interesting and manageable. Lunch spot and coffee spot were both great.
Wonderful experience

5.0Our tour with Tui was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, it was thoughtfully planned and executed. The highlight of our day was visiting the stunning White Temple – its intricate details and breathtaking beauty left us in awe. Tui shared fascinating insights about the temple’s history and symbolism, making the visit even more meaningful. We also visited another serene Buddhist temple, where Tui’s extensive knowledge of Buddhist traditions and architecture truly shone. Along the way, the tour included well-timed stops that allowed us to relax, enjoy the scenery, and stay comfortable throughout the journey. Tui was an exceptional guide – incredibly well-informed, friendly, and attentive. He answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm, and he even offered us excellent tips for exploring the area further. If you’re considering this tour, I wholeheartedly recommend it, especially with Tui as your guide. His expertise and warm personality made this experience unforgettable!
