Exploring the many Karen Long Neck communities in Thailand offers some of the most unique experiences on earth. The enchantment and elegance surrounding the tradition of using brass rings for elaborate adornments is best appreciated firsthand, rather than merely through pictures. We had concerns about the potential exploitation these hill tribe communities may face, resembling human zoos, but opted to explore nonetheless. The experience is akin to stepping inside a live edition of National Geographic; it must be seen to be truly comprehended.

Intense day of walking through Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. - It was a super-complete excursion. We visited with the Coco guide the place where the long-necked women are, the white, blue and black temples and in Chiang Rai we reached the Mekong River at its border with Laos and sailed.
We returned to Chiang Mai in the evening.
We saw elephants.

A long day tour but nice guide - A very nice guide but the program is too much for a day.. we had to speed up at everything and we came back late around 11pm at Chiang Mai. A very long day. The places we visited are nice

Chiang Rai & Golden Triangle Snapshots - Despite a long 14 hour day, with more than 500 km roundtrip, there is lots to see. Great day for the highlights around Chiang Rai: Different "arty" style temples, "long neck" tribe village and the Golden Triangle. Good tour to get snapshot impressions, not enough time to see the details.

A long day in the van. - Too long of a day driving up and back from Chiang Mai - 13+ hours- too much time in the van with very short stops. Better to base in Chiang Rai to see these sights.
Black House museum not that interesting- would have preferred skipping it and having more time on the Mekong River, instead of "out of the van, into the boat, back in the van" with no time to a actually look around. Long neck village visit felt a little contrived and sad.

Long tour - The tour is very long and a small mistake can derailed the whole tour. One small mistake was that the tour guide picked up the wrong people from the hotel and only realized it after driving for 45 mins away from the city. So we dropped off the people at some gas station and drove into town during rush to pickup the right people. As a result, we arrived at white temple around 12:30, where half of the temple was closed for lunch break and rushed out in 30 mins to eat. The tour guide spoke barely any english and provided alittle or nothing as information for all locations however the driver was phenomenal. He did awesome trying to rectify her mistake and was a good driver. I would honestly recommend booking individual tour to white and blue temple only. Everything else is not worth seeing. The hot spring (extremely hot) was a gas station pit stop where hot spring was used to cook egg and vegetables. I wouldn't recommend this tour.

Full day photo taking tour. - The places are very interesting to visit. It’s a good compact tour if you’re interested in taking pictures only of very nice contemporary temples and interesting tribal people, and if you’re short on time, go for it.
But:
There is not much informative content by the tour guide and the lunch place is very bad quality cold food.
