★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,401 reviews · 11 hours - 810 minutes · from $35Our pick

Review of Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Red Temples, Karen village, hot springs, transport, costs, timing, and practical tips from Chiang Mai.

“Everything went really well, our guide Kwan made sure we always know the meeting time and leave on time too. She was very informative and told us lots of interesting facts about every place we visited. I think it’s so nice to begin the day with soaking my feet in the hot springs, loved it! Visit to the village was beautiful, even though I enjoyed some little shopping to support the local area, it would be great to be able to learn something from the women and the crafts they’re making daily. Everything else was wonderful, thanks a lot! At the end of the day, as I didn’t return to…”

2.Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool and Hot Springs Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,616 reviews · 9 hours - 570 minutes · from $59

Review of Krabi’s Emerald Pool, hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple tour, with practical tips on costs, stairs, timing, dress, and value.

“The whole day was brilliant from beginning to end. Our guide AB was easy to understand, full of knowledge and happy to answer any questions regardless if it was about the place or something else such as the nature around us. The only part I would say could possibly be a downfall would be the 1200 plus steps up to the Buddha. If you suffer with vertigo or are not fit and healthy you won't make it up ther. A lot of the steps are very high and extremely steep. There are plenty of toilets and wonderful eating and drinking spots. A great day out”

“Overall the trip was great! We are a family of four with 2 teenagers, and had a lovely day. We were taken by minibus from our hotel to the meeting point where we transferred onto a bus after a light snack and drink that was provided. Micki our tour guide explained that we would pick up a few more people on the way to the Emerald Pool. He explained why we would do the trip in a particular order due to the weather forecast of potential rain in the morning, as it could affect the quality of the other 2 stops (Hot springs get cooler in rainfall, and the steps…”

Visit Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Red Temples, enjoy a hot spring stop, lunch, and optional Karen village visit from Chiang Mai.

“I would not do this tour again. The way that it is set up doesn't make sense. You are rushed through the temples and then we spend 50 mins at a café and 20 minutes rest stop. Also, the driver drove extremely unsafe. He was going extremely fast and passing every car and bus on the way. I would not recommend this tour and company. There are many others out there. The tour guide was friendly. she was the best part but I wouldn't waste my money.”
