A long day but perfectly organised by our guide. Great sights, good food and lots of interesting information.
Great day trip. White Temple us amazing. Very knowledgeable guide. Lots of driving and long day, but worth it.
Our guide Poong Kie is excellent. She is very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. She speaks English well and shared a wealth of information about Thailand’s culture, history, and religion. Our driver was also excellent. It was a long drive, but he was always smiling and provided a cold wipe and a chilled bottle of water every time we returned to the car. The lunch was delicious, and Poong Kie provided snacks along the way. I really enjoyed the trip despite it being a long day. I highly recommend it.
TOP EXPERIENCE AND SO BEAUTIFUL PLACE
A really nice experience, would recommend to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Very interesting to see the different borders. Highlight of the trip was our guide Pae! He made it so enjoyable and was a really nice and friendly person.
Great guide , very informative. Wished we could have spent more time at white temple . Boat trip was very interesting at the golden triangle. The hot springs at the first top was brief but interesting.
Our guide, Tui, was very friendly and attentive. He provided lots of information at each of the stops and answered all our questions. We saw the white temple, golden triangle, enjoyed a boat ride on the Mekong and stopped by the opium museum. Our lunch was ready as soon as we arrived at the restaurant and we also had an included coffee break on the drive back to Chiang Mai. It was a wonderful experience!
The trip was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English so we felt we learnt a lot about the Chiang Rai region.
Pae was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very open to questions. He was professional throughout, and we truly enjoyed and loved our tour. Highly recommended!
Glad that I opted for Touring Center Chiang Mai for my day trip to Chiang Rai (White Temple + Golden Triangle). It was a great experience as everything was well organized, and our guide, Mr. Tui, was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the culture and beauty of Northern Thailand. We visited the White Temple, understood the history behind it and also the meaning of the wall murals. Post that we went for a lunch where delicious local spread was offered. After lunch, we visited the Golden Triangle, went for a boat ride and explored the Opium museum. Mr. Tui shared fascinating insights about Thai history, local customs, and even recommended delicious food spots along the way. He was answering our questions with patience and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend Touring Center Chiang Mai to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
