  • 5Personalized Tour with Knowledgeable Local Guide

    Excellent one day experience, with a tour itinerary planned just for us. Crossed the river into Laos via boat. Toured Chiang Rai’s Wat Huay Pla Kang which was stunning. Benja is an excellent guide and will personalize the tour based on your interests. Highly recommended.

  • 5Excellent Tour and Guide

    Benjaa is excellent! 1. Pick up, drop-off and communication before pickup were excellent 2. She customized the tour for me and also suggested a couple of places (example three Skywalk near the Myanmar border), which I really liked 3. She guided and explained all things in details during the tour, which made it very immersive Overall, a very good experience and I would definitely recommend Benjaa.

  • 5Highly recommended.

    We booked this activity the night of. It was during the rainy season so it was only my brother and I. Benja was super flexible and planned everything including our crossing into Laos without a visa. The tour itself was very informative and we really appreciated how knowledgeable Benja was about the temples and the golden triangle. We learned a lot! Overall, Benja was super friendly yet professional and very kind. Highly recommend booking with her.

  • 5Wonderful Tour

    Benja is a fantastic guide. After an easy hotel pick up we had a fun and very informative personal tour of the stunning White and Blue Temples as well as The Golden Triangle, lunch and more. I recommend the optional boat ride on the Mekong River and visit to Laos. Thank you Benja for a great day!

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.
