Excellent Experience...
We found this private tour by chance, run by the same operator that offers highly rated customized tours to Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle. The fixed program was a combination of 3 most popular temples, relaxation at Choui Fong Tea Plantation and sightseeing at Golden Triangle with Mekong River Long Tail boat cruise. Perfect fit for our group of four people.
Guide Nop was friendly and attentive, making us feel like nothing was impossible. We traveled in a very clean and spacious car, which made the long day extremely comfortable. Highly recommend without hesitation!

So glad that you enjoyed the tour with guide Nop. Hope to see you next time ♥️🙏👋

Golden triangle, Northern Thailand
The excursion from chain Mai with Nop was very interesting…. you get a pretty good overview of the countryside of Northern Thailand. You pass through two mountain passes. Along with it comes all the farming and the view of the way they live in those regions and their agriculture. The white temple and the blue temple were very interesting. Nop our Guide and driver knows all the routes and back roads to get to everything. He also speaks decent English. You have to listen though. Passing into Laos was an experience! It’s very hard to describe. It was just very interesting.

Very glad that you had enjoyed the itinerary and guided service. Thank you so very much for your kind comments 🙏🙏🙏👋

Memorable experience
This was a huge tour and a long day, but it was absolutely worth it. Nop was a wonderful guide. He has great English, gave us lots of information, but was never intrusive. He ensured the tour was smooth, enjoyable and memorable. We would most definitely recommend Nop to anyone looking to tour the area.

Amazing Tour Experience
Our private hire tour stands out for super comfort, care and flexible itinerary. Throughout the tour, our guide Yai shared local insights, stories, and took great photos for us. It was a long drive but we had lots of stops for toilet breaks and refreshments. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a seamless and enriching experience.

Best Guided Tour Experience
We had the most unforgettable private tour to the Golden Triangle with Chiang Mai Private Tours. From hotel pickup at the lobby to our special request drop-off at the Chiang Mai night market, everything was perfectly curated.
Our guide Chris was incredible—fun, lots of stories, and made the full day tour feel effortless. His SUV was super comfy, driving was absolutely safe and the whole experience felt pretty exclusive.
Huge thanks to Nat and Chris—you guys are amazing! 🙌
Highly recommend. Don’t miss this one! 👍🥰

Excellent Tour Experience
A fantastic trip exploring northern Thailand. The itinerary was excellent and we were allowed to replace visiting Don Sao island in Laos for the Glass Skywalk at Wat Phra That Pha Ngao.
Our tour guide Dom was knowledgeable and took good care of us particularly after the recent major Earthquake in Myanmar.
The highlight was the sightseeing boat ride on the Mekong River. Dom was telling us great stories about the history of this region. He was also quick to point out fabulous photo sites, and was more than happy to snap beautiful photos for our party.
To be honest, this was one of the best holidays in Thailand because the cultural experience and memories were irreplaceable. The private tour was flexible and perfectly planned.

Unforgettable Day Exploring The Golden Triangle
This private tour was better than we expected. Our tour guide Peter Pan made everything convenient and easy for us.
The drive from Chiang Mai in a 7-seater was long but scenic and flexible as we made a few stops along the way.
The Golden Triangle Viewpoint, where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet was absolutely breathtaking, and our guide shared fascinating stories about the area’s history and took beautiful photos for us.
We also visited Sop Ruak, a village with a big Golden Buddha at the top, which was a nice cultural touch to the tour. There was also an option to visit the Hall of Opium, which I highly recommend if you’re interested in the region’s history.
The highlight for us was the Mekong River boat cruise. We hopped on a good size longtail boat just for ourselves and glided along the river, taking in the beautiful scenery and sights. The quick stop at Don Sao Island in Laos was a fun experience, browsing the local market without needing a visa!
Overall, this private tour was totally worth it—good coordination, great guide, informative, and full of amazing sights. If you want to explore the Golden Triangle at your own pace, this is the best way to do it. 10/10 recommended!

Perfect Coordinated Tour Experience
We loved this easy customized excursion without scrolling through all the different full day tours in Chiang Mai. Just message this operator on where you wish to visit and he will plan everything for you. No need to lift a finger.
Our 7-seater MPV was spacious and clean. The team included Nat, coordinating our tour before we arrived in Chiang Mai, seasoned host driver Peter Pan driving, chatting and taking photos for us.
Simply perfect and flexible arrangements. I would recommend it to anyone looking for easy, no stress holiday in Thailand.

Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you so very much for your booking :)
