Long, but terrific, day exploring Chiang Rai area.

We saw a lot in a single, very long day. Got picked up in Chiang Mai at 7 am, drove to see hot springs, long neck tribe, white temple (which was simply incredible), had a very authentic local lunch, then drove through Chiang Rai to the golden triangle and got a boat ride on the Mekong River to see Myanmar (Burma) and Laos shorelines. Could not step foot onto the shores as we did not have our passports. Visited opium museum and had a nice local dinner. Then drove 4 hours back to Chiang Mai, arriving at our hotel after midnight. Our driver/tour guide Nop was terrific! Lots of driving, but definitely recommend!

Best tour guide in Thailand!

Nop was amazing! He customized our itinerary and took such good care of us. Cracking jokes and explaining stories and history in such an entertaining way, my kids fell in love with him. Very comfortable van and he brought us pumpkin treats that his wife made for us. We packed a lot into our tour but we never felt rushed. And the rustic local restaurants he brought us to had the best food! Oh, and the blue ice cream at the Blue Temple? Delicious! We will definitely hire Nop (pronounced Nope) directly for any/all tours when we come back to Thailand!

This trip was so great....

This trip was so great. Our driver, Peter, was so kind. He explained the temples, knew the best place to stand for photos and was always willing to take our picture. We did the Karon village, hot springs, White Temple, Blue Temple, Golden Triangle and took a boat to Laos, very long day but Peter made sure we got to see everything we wanted to see. He even knew the best spot for coconut ice cream!

So glad you enjoyed our guided customised tour! Thank you very much for your support ♥️🙏🙏
