  I had such a lovely experience! Everything was very well organized from beginning to end. The transportation was comfortable, the food was great, and all the activities were really enjoyable. The guides were amazing and explained everything very clearly. Before arriving at each place, they always kept us informed about the schedule and timing, which made everything run very smoothly. I also personally asked one of the guides for information about another place I wanted to visit, and he was incredibly helpful and sent me all the information I needed. Great organization, excellent guides and a wonderful experience overall. I would definitely recommend it!

• 5Great full day out in Chiang Rai

  Great full day out seeing most of the main attractions in Chiang Rai, though wish we could hv stopped at the giant Buddha, as we passed fairly close by. But otherwise it was a full day with a good buffet lunch. Ping, our Guide, was super helpful and we had a great driver, Mr Anthony. Would thoroughly recommend.

• 5Experience a full day in Chiang Rai

  The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Mr. John, was very friendly, service-minded, and tell us many informations about the places we visited. I highly recommend the full-day tour in Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai is not particularly well-known among tourists. The city has a charm of its own—in a very special way.

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.
