Amazing trip, a must do - This was an amazing trip. We started of at the hot springs and had the opportunity to wash feet in the hot spring water. We proceeded to the Karen village where we saw the different tribes including the “long neck” tribe. This part of the trip is optional and you have to pay 300 Baht extra. We then went to the White Temple which for me was the highlight of the trip. All temples I have visited in Thailand are beautiful but this one is at another level. We had buffet Thai lunch, delicious. We the proceeded to the Blue temple, it’s also beautiful. After that we went to the Black House ( Baandam Museum) which is a must see for art enthusiasts. After that we drove back to Chiang Mai. The tour guide was explained everything in detail and with some great humor. Time allocated for each site was adequate. I highly recommend the trip.

Do it! So worth it! - What an incredible adventure, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Wish we had more time at all of the locations because they were all wonderful, would definitely cut out the stop to the Karen tribe to make the other stops longer. But at the same time understand supporting a culture thats been displaced. Great tour guide! 😄 The Wats are incredible, my favorite part was the Black House. Because of this tour, my next trip to Thailand will be more focused on staying in Chiang Rai.

Very good experience! - Thanks to M&M, we were able to enjoy this activity with a smile and the desire to discover these temples. The means of transport was very comfortable, especially for so many hours of driving. I would say that the only thing I would like to highlight would be that it would have been perfect for us to be able to spend a little more time at home. Otherwise, a superb discovery and a great outing!

Recommended - The beautiful places! Guide a love, the beautiful white temple inside does not have much logic there were drawings of sailor moon, pikachu, etc (it is very new), as there have been floods in chiang rai the blue temple was closed BUT anyway you could take photos from “outside” i.e. you entered but you did not enter the temple itself since that is fixed. The community of women long neck I recommend not jumping it are only 300 baths .The included lunch was fine. However, if you get dizzy easily take something earlier why the return is between 3-4 hours and a lot of curve. The Transfer is small and only has ac ahead of me it reached me so it was not a big problem but the back had a fan that rotated leeeeento.

Uncomfortable and Dangerous trip - The guide Tom was Excellent. The best part of the tour was the village of the long neck people. White temple is nice, blue is ok but they are pretty new structures which history extends for 10 or 20 years max. The black house is just somehow a strange experience, lots of satanic sculptures, altars and paintings and tenths of masculine genitals carved on wood everywhere (attention if you travel with kids). The worst part was the transportation, my seat had no room for the legs so I had to travel with the legs on the corridor from 7:00 to 15:00, and I’m a rather small guy 1.7m/70kg After that in the last 3 hours of the tour I was offered to exchange seats with the guide (thanks Tom!), which improved but the van almost did a frontal crash on the way back. I would suggest people to avoid booking this tour or assure to have a proper transportation from safety and comfort point of view, it is a long journey.
