Absolutely do this tour!

Kear and Steve are GOATS (greatest if all time). Kear kept us entertained and taught us about his culture while showing us temples. Steve was a good driver who kept us safe. We loved them so much, we hired them for a second day and took us to the monkey caves, scorpion temple and many other exciting places we would not have gone. It was a special 2 days with them.

Our guide, Aday, is a hoot. He drove us around all day in a car with 4 of us and let us stop for coffee whenever we requested it. Our favorite parts of the day included being at the white temple before the tourists from Chiang Mai showed up, visiting the house of opium, and golden triangle.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with Aday—he truly knows how to keep the energy high and make the day fun! We always aim to provide a flexible and comfortable experience, so we're glad you enjoyed the coffee stops whenever you needed a boost. Getting you to the White Temple before the crowds arrive from Chiang Mai is one of our favorite insider strategies, and we're so happy it made your visit special, along with the House of Opium and the Golden Triangle. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another fantastic day in the future!

Learn About Chiang Rai

This is a very full day (11 hours) of seeing some outstanding highlights of Chiang Rai. Our guide, Kear, and our driver, Steve, were enthusiastic and excellent hosts. The agenda was varied, from temples to tea tasting and everything in between. We had a full day of learning about the Thai culture. I would recommend this tour!
