Itinerary
Before arriving at the white temple, we make a brief stop at a natural hot spring. Although it is not a place for swimming, you'll have a chance to observe the steam rising from the mineral-rich water.
Visit the mesmerizing White Temple, known for its unique architecture covered in white plaster and mirrored glass. This stunning temple reflects beautifully in the surrounding pond, offering peace and profound Buddhist teachings through its intricate design.
Explore the Blue Temple, famed for its vibrant blue hues and elaborate details. Built on the site of an older temple, it adds a touch of historical mystique, as it was once believed to be home to roaming tigers.
Admire the impressive Wat Huai Pla Kung, also known as the Big Buddha. This temple features a towering statue of Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Next to the Buddha explore the Red Temple, rich in vibrant colors and intricate artworks that narrate Thai spiritual stories and folklore. Each part of this temple has a unique tale to tell, making it a highlight of the tour.

A great experience travelling around Chiang Rai. Well worth it.
Fong was lovely & 3 stars is no reflection of him! Our trip was merged with another without any prior notification & the group went to 2 different locations after the white & blue temples. We spent 1.5 hours at the red temple until other group returned, when 45 min would suffice. Our 11 hour trip took nearly 13 hours - far too long! We also unexpectedly visited Longneck village - extra 45 mins & 300 bht each to look at “cultural village” which was tourist stalls manned by ladies of the community - just dreadful! The temples were lovely but sadly it was far too long a day.
It's a very good way to see three temples in a day. The tour guide was great. The sights were worth the drive. The hot springs were not very interesting.
We were able to discover amazing places. The visit of the white and blue temples is worthwhile because we did not travel less than 3h30 to get there but it was worth it! The goddess Guan Yin or Mama Buddha is majestic because built on 80 meters versus big Buddha in Phuket (45 meters). Thank you to our guide Phon for these wonderful visits.
The tour was very good and informative. Drive is long but very scenic. The tour guide Sam knows his history,
We spent a long time traveling from Chiang Mai to see the three temples. The temples were an amazing sight to behold. The guide and driver were very respectful and friendly. It was a worthwhile experience, 'm happy I did it.
Awesome way to check out 3 of Chiang Rai’s temples. Chai was an awesome guide, very funny and helpful and the driver was very efficient!
The white temple and the whole site, everything is wonder. The blue temple and the red temple also have their personality and are interesting, but the white temple exceeds everything.
This trip was as advertised with a long journey to reach Chiang Rai. This does result in fairly limited times at each temple however in order to see all of them in the day I was happy with this and the timings were just right for me personally.
WOW, this temple tour was on top of my list, it was so much more from what I expected. We had the best guide, funny, helpful....so knowledgeable. It was a wonderful day. I highly recommend this tour
