Review of Chiang Mai’s long Chiang Rai day trip, with White, Blue, and Black temples, Karen village, Golden Triangle boat ride, lunch, and practical tips.
“The guide was nice and helpful, and the group was cute. The only problem was that I only understood 60% of the English the guide spoke. The volume of her voice was sometimes too low in the van…After half a day, I couldn’t take it any more. However, it was probably also my fault, because I wasn’t familiar with Thai language. Besides that, we generally spent most of the time in the van, and visited the places for short times. If you are a slow visiter, maybe you will feel a bit stressed.”
Cruise Chiang Mai’s Mae Ping River, visit a herb farm, and enjoy khao soi for $19 on this relaxed half-day cultural outing.
“I should have listened to the reviews. Dont bother… Its just an avenue to have lunch at their farm/restaurant. Food is ok at best, and the river boat ride is boring.”
Review of Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai day tour covering the White, Black and Blue Temples, Golden Triangle, Mekong boat trip, lunch and hot springs.
“Really long tour. The white temple is nice (even if it has no history - built in 1997). If I’m not wrong, the visit to the longneck village was not mentioned in the trip description and I perceived it as exploiting refugees but it is optional. The guide was a nice person but explaination were like 1 minute only for each stop/ sight and her English was really difficult to understand.”
