  Csiia and Thong were incredible guides! They took us around Chiang Rai, highlighting the main attractions and sharing all the essential details while giving us the perfect amount of time to explore at our own pace. They were exceptionally accommodating, patiently answering all our questions and introducing us to hidden gems we hadn't even thought of. Warm, friendly, and truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

  Our guide and driver Win and Yok were super sweet. Though the itinerary could be a bit too tight, highly recommend if you have no enough time, all highlights of Chiang Rai. Barely felt tired as each place was quite a relaxing spot to tour around.

• 5An amazing tour of Chiang Rai

  We researched our trips before setting off from the UK and Tripadvisor played a big part in choosing JTTT trouble so thanks to all who have posted on here previously. We had a wonderful day which started with an 8:15 am pick up from our hotel. Our guide, Cheer was really friendly and very informative on each place we visited. We started with the white temple, which is truly stunning and looks as though it’s from a film set in Narnia! We had about an hour there which was long enough. The queues can be long but we arrived early so it wasn’t overly crowded. The second stop was the blue temple which was also very impressive. Our next stop was the Black House Museum (Baan Dam) which was full of interesting art and sculptures. We then had lunch close by which was a lovely buffet of rice, chicken, spring rolls, with watermelon and pineapple for desert. In the afternoon we went to the Long Neck Karen village and learned about the different hill tribes and their way of life. Next on the list was the tea plantation with tasting which again was really interesting (but don’t expect a strong English brew here!) Our final stop was the Golden Triangle where Thailand meets Laos and Myanmar and also a stop at the Opium Museum where we learned quite a few more facts. The whole day was set at a good pace with just the right amount of time at each place and not too far between each stop. Cheer was always making sure we were ok and really good at taking photos for everyone! We were very touched that he handed out a braided bracelet for each of us at the end which we could take home to remember him by which was a lovely thing to do. We would highly recommend this trip.

About Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand, is a relaxed city known for a white temple of glass and plaster and as the base for the Golden Triangle.

Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mengrai, who later moved his capital to Chiang Mai, and it still feels more like a market town than a city. The golden clock tower at the central roundabout, the night bazaar and the Kok River set the tone. Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple, an elaborate modern temple of white plaster and mirrored glass by the artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, lies just south of the city.

Top-ranked sights in Chiang Rai: White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), Wat Rong Seur Ten (Blue Temple), Hall of Opium Museum.
