Popcorn the best guide -
The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) are both absolutely incredible. The White Temple feels surreal with its all-white design and insane details, while the Blue Temple has this deep, vibrant vibe that’s just mesmerizing.
But what really made this tour unforgettable was our guide, Pocorn. He’s the best guide ever!!!
no doubt about it. He’s super knowledgeable, funny, and knows how to make the whole group feel at ease. He brought the temples to life and made the experience so much better. If I could give more than five stars, I would.
If you’re going to visit these temples, make sure you get Pocorn as your guide. You’ll thank me later!

Beautiful, stunning and unforgettable - Despite being high season and being crowded, I recommend, it is very beautiful and rich in details, its history is well worth knowing before the visit.

Great culture with a funny buddhist twist - Thanks to James, our guide, we could learn a lot about Buddhism from first hand because he used to be a monk for 8 years. On top of that, he was really funny.

Excellent Tour Guide - With tours like these, having a good tour guide is vital to having a good experience. This tour sure does deliver on that! Our tour guide (11/25/24) was WONDERFUL and made the day enjoyable. We learned a lot from him as he told us stories both in the transport van as well as at the different temples, and his English is very, very good. I wish I could have him as a guide for other tours here in Chiang Mai during our stay!

Waste of time unless you like 6 hrs of driving - Waste of time. 6 hrs of driving for nothing special. The last temple was terrible. So many nice temples in Chiang Mai. Don’t bother with this trip
