“The tour covered all the attractions you want to see in the area. We had a nice and caring tour guide Yok. The transportation was excellent, cold water provided and good buffet. Everything was on time and well organized.”
Visit Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Red Temples from Chiang Mai, with lunch, hotel transfers, a hot spring stop, and an optional Karen village visit.
“The trip is not worth doing. The “temples” are not ones that Thai people worship at. They are made for tourists. It’s a bit like Disneyland, quite fake. And it is just too far to go (3.5 hours each way) for fake temples. Stay in Chiang Mai and walk around the old city, there are beautiful, real temples on almost every block.

I don't recommend paying to enter there it's a…”
