It was a wonderful experience. Sky was our driver and I can’t remember our guides name, but he was amazing. They start off by having you change into the Karen clothes, then we take a quick drive. You’ll get dropped off and take a quick hike where the guide will explain what everything is and how the locals love. Then you end up where the beautiful elephants are and you’ll get to feed them, pet them, wash them and it’ll end with a delicious lunch.
Excellent experience

We arranged a one-day private tour where we were able to choose 5 sites to see. Gai was our guide, and the entire day was wonderful. Clean and comfortable car, we saw everything we wanted and spent the amount of time we wanted at each place. Gai's English is excellent, and she was quite knowledgeable about each site. Thank you for working with us!
Perfect private tour

Having Yada Travel and Thidarat bring us safely from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, we decided to have a full day tour with her to see Karen Hill Tribe Village, The Golden Triangle and The Big White Buddha. Thidarat was a perfect driver and guide - giving the four of us balanced and comprehensive information on the different sites and attractions. The program was adjusted to our wishes and time schedule, and the price was very reasonable. Can recommend Yada Travel for any arrangements in the Chiang Rai area!

I decided to book a private tour around Doi Chang with Yada Travel. I got to see some spectacular landscapes - beautiful sightseeing spots, coffee plantations, and some of the hill tribe architecture - in and around the region. The food was great and I was very happy that I booked this tour. Thank you Yada Travel!

There was only two of us on this tour. It made for a very nice day with a lovely guide. Cookie was very knowledgeable about each stop we made. She made sure she explained things to both of us even though as Americans we tended to wander off separately to do our own thing. We skipped the Long Neck village tour as the entrance fee was 300 baht, but I don’t think we missed out on anything. We also skipped the Monkey Cave. We still had a full day in just under 12 hours. The White Temple, the Tea Plantation, the Northern Most Point in Thailand, The Golden Triangle, the Opium Museum and finally, the Blue Temple were all worth visiting. Lunch was at a roadside buffet. It was authentic, but vegetarian options were limited and I wish we had had lunch at the Tea Plantation. There was more of a selection and the view was much better. Our guide was more than accommodating with taking pictures, making suggestions and even helped us with information about mailing packages back to the US. Well worth the money.

Yada Travel can only recommend: super nice and realistic tour offer. Guy knows his way around and tried very hard to make a bespoke tour. We arranged the approaches so that the temples were not over-visited. There are many beautiful temples in Thailand, but the blue temple is truly unique and will definitely be remembered by me. Thanks for the great tips, the relaxed atmosphere and the delicious food at the lake. Absolutely authentic and in the north there is much more to visit than I thought.
