After receiving all the tourists at 8.30 am, we go to "Wat Rong Khun" (White Temple Admission ticket 100 baht). I got a masterpiece from Ajarn Chalermchai. until it became a mental attraction symbol of Chiang Rai Province and became a national landmark Famous for both Thais and foreigners both beauty delicacy of art makes us feel like we've slipped into another world A beautiful paradise land that really exists. Anyone who wants to know how beautiful it is, must come and get it.
Wat Rong Suea Ten Chiang Rai Province See the beauty of the blue temple Created with applied Thai art that is beautiful and unusual. From the craftsmanship of Mr. Phutta Kabkaew or Sala Nok, a local artist from Chiang Rai. who used to be a student of Ajarn Chalermchai Kositpipat, is a unique applied art that uses shades of blue and gold, contrasting with gold. Various patterns are swaying, especially the Naga Staircase sculpture that uses the same shade, which has a delicacy and different patterns. clearly from the general sculpture
Baan Dam or Baan Dam Museum(Admission ticket 100 baht) It is an art museum on an area of over 100 rai located at Nang Lae Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province, created by Thawan Duchanee, a national artist. who are skilled in painting and sculpture has created many works of art both in painting and in many sculptures The appearance of Baan Dam is a group of wooden houses. Lanna Art Strange shaped cement house Almost every house is painted black. which is the origin of the word "Baan Dam" and is also a favorite color of Thawan. Each house is decorated with beautiful patterns. In addition to wood carvings, it is also decorated with animal horns such as more than 100 buffalo horns, stag antlers, crocodile skins, and large shells. with the color of the house that is black In contrast to Wat Rong Khun of Ajarn Chalermchai, there is a saying that compares these two places as "Hell".
Visiting one of the numerous Karen Long Neck villages(Admission ticket 300 baht) in Thailand is one of the most exotic experiences on the planet. The mystery and beauty that sound the tradition of using brass rings for exaggerated jewelry is something better seen in person than in a book. We had ethical questions on if it these hill tribe villages would feel like human zoos, but thankfully we decided to visit anyway. It is a real-life National Geographic Magazine experience to have to see to believe.
“Chui Fong Tea Plantation” is a famous tea plantation in Mae Chan District. Chiang Rai It is a good tea growing area on an area of 600 rai and is the largest tea producer in Chiang Rai.

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.
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.
This is an excellent introduction to the people, culture and religion of the Chiang Rai region. The local guide was very knowledgeable.
Great tour covering all major highlights. Sufficient time at each place. Tour guide Ping was fantastic. Thank you
A real taste of Chiang Rai. Enjoyed all of the stops and the buffet lunch. The white temple is amazing. Thank you to our enthusiastic guide Cheer.
We had a really friendly and informative tour guide (whose nickname is Chia). And also a good and safe driver. The places we visited were more interesting than I had expected. There is no need worry about your fitness level if you take this tour, because there is not a great deal of walking necessary. Ample time was given to view and explore many interesting places
This tour was quite amazing. A lot of sites to see all in one day. Also, the perfect amount of time was allotted for each destination which made for a fast-paced, but totally relaxed excursion. Our guide, Cheer, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information regarding each site and also was very open to answering any question we had. I'd give this tour a 10/10 as it included so much of the best that Chiang Rai has to offer and the visit to the Golden Triangle was just an added bonus that was very rewarding. The entire tour was great.
Chiangrai highlight guided tour with lunch was very enjoyable and knowledgeable small group tour because of the outstanding and kind guide with superb experience of the area.

Very long day but worth it, we stayed in chiang rai for 2 nights which I'm very glad about as the 3 hour drive each way from chiang mai would have a pain. The white temple was amazingly beautiful, blue temple stunning, our guide was very knowledgeable, all in all a brilliant day.
