Full day northern Thailand sightseeing - Yes it's a long day. Start around 07.0p and back around 21.00. however how else will one see 7 beautiful stops as we drove from Chiang Mai right up to the Golden Triangle and the boarder of Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. Our guide was very good and gave a explanation on each stop. Lunch was a Thai set menu, loads of food and was very good. Cold water provided and a comfortable van for traveling. The drive back though long, was worth the days visits and we made a stop for dinner.

A Day Trip not to miss - This trip should not be missed!! This was a full day trip that had so much to see, eat, do, discover, learn and experience. This was the best trip I found out of Chiang Mai. Worth every penny.

Chiang Mai holiday - We enjoyed this tour. It was full on and a long day but worth it. Tour guide Manny was very informative and enjoyed her role. We had a great mix of people which added to the enjoyment. The stops were great. The long neck village was interesting and walk around was enjoyable. The White Temple was beautiful, but a little crowded. The Blue Temple was also pretty and the Black Temple museum was really nice and different and interesting. The boat trip was really nice and showed the where the Triangle of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos were sitting on the Mekong River. It was a really wonderful tour 😍 Thanks Manny for a wonderful day out.

Long exhausting but very nice day. - Longnek village was more monkey watching. Unfortunately has nothing to do with their villages or culture, put on a meadow some cultures next to each other, who put words there in the morning and in the evening they can go home, boat trip was also a little disappointing, 100 meters to the left and to the right, but for the rest still had a very nice day !!

Long day of driving but worth it for what you see - Full day of activities. We were out almost 15 hours. Great experience but be prepared for a lot of time in a van. The white temple was amazing, the blue temple was beautiful, lunch was ok - buffet next to white temple. Long neck people - wow!! While it was touristy, it was an experience of a lifetime. Short visit but worth it. The golden triangle was neat to see but it was a lot of driving just to ride a boat for about 30 mins to see the borders. Overall, worth it, just be prepared.

Unbelievable experience at a great price - This is definitely worth doing, yes it’s a long day but you will go everywhere! The spa and village break up the journey and the white and blue temples are fabulous, forget the images you may have seen, they need to be experienced. Our guide was very good, friendly, helpful with plenty of info, but if like me you prefer exploring on your own, he was not overly clingy so you get your own space. Highly recommended.

Nice trip but very long day - Nice trip! Temple visits were just long enough. Great lunch. Boat cruise was nice but golden triangle was not much to see. Karen village was interesting. This is a very long day we left at 6 and got back around 9:30.

A must do tour if you are visiting Chaing Mai and want something Special 🙏 - Although it is a long day, it is fully worth it. The sights and Temples are amazing and a must see. My only regret is, I didn’t tip the driver or the tour guide @Mit love your work and also the best driver in Thailand. Always felt safe and welcome.

Be warned and save your money - Be warned and save your money. Should have researched more on this before handing over money and going. 9 hours in a van to travel up to Chiang Rai. You learn nothing that isn’t in the briefing on Wikipedia. Poor English by Fern. So the day First stop- side of road purpose built market selling souvenirs - not authentic village of longnecks- just an opportunity to sell. Then onto hot springs- which is in a service station- again selling wares Then first the white and then Blue temples- both new and not authentic- no history no reason for- just another money maker from tourists. Then the black house complex- again strange place- no history no explanations but plenty of stalls selling. Then the end stop-the golden triangle- dirty stretch of river- you go up and down in a boat and back. Then joy of joy 4 half hour trip back. Food passable-avoid you see no authentic sights and nothing of Chiang Rai history, culture, landscape
