It was a very interesting trip with stunning temples, beautiful views, and plenty of history. Mr. Big was very attentive and provided us with useful information about Thai history and beliefs. I’d highly recommend this day trip to everyone — you can’t leave Chiang Mai without visiting Chiang Rai’s famous temples!
The trip was a wonderful experience. We also visited various temples with plenty of time to explore them. Astonishing views! All in all, great value for a whole day trip. Please be aware that the trip takes a whole day and you will probably be very tired afterwards. But in my opinion it was worth it!

Wow! Amazing trip! Arunee our tour guide was very friendly and provided us with information throughout the day. We learnt a lot about the white, blue temples. The white temple is simply amazing, if you have a chance to visit don’t miss out. Transport was perfect, everything was on time and great recommendation for lunch.
Great trip with mr big . Long day but journeys were broken up by toilet and coffee breaks. The white temple is a highlight of the trip and like nowhere else we've ever visited. It was also very interesting to visit golden triangle and too see the Mekong river.
Amazing day trip and the most beautiful temples I’ve ever seen and the golden triangle felt like walking into the history thanks our guide Mr big who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job.
The tour was absolutely amazing! The organisation was perfect from start to finish — everything ran smoothly, on time, and was incredibly comfortable. A huge thank-you to our guide Aruni, who truly went above and beyond. The stunning locations combined with such professional guidance made this one of the most memorable tours I’ve ever taken.
Excellent service from start to finish. Our guide was punctual, friendly, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire day. The car was very comfortable, with fresh water provided and plenty of breaks whenever we needed. The tour itself was amazing — everything was organised perfectly, from the tickets to the tea plantation, making it completely stress-free. We had enough time at every stop to explore and enjoy the sites, plus a relaxed break for lunch.
Very interesting trip with enough time to browse around , Aurnie was a great guide. Although it was a long day we managed I would change a thing at all !
This was a great package, I think probably encompassing all of the main sights and attractions in the region. Our driver Mr Big was very personable, friendly, and loved to laugh. He was chatty and knowledgable about the different stops and always available to help with pictures or anything else whilst also giving us time to explore the different stops off points on our own as well. The operator was able to accommodate us very last minute and Mr Big made contact the evening before and arranged to meet us at our hotel and took us back there at the end of the tour. The different stop off points were varied and coveted the whole region. It is a long day, a lot of km are covered, and you complete different stop offs on the way but then have a very long drive back at the end - it must be very tiring for the driver. Because of the amount of activities covered, and distance, some people may find they want to stay longer at different points but need to press on. We found it timed just right, apart from perhaps wanting to spend longer at the tea plantation but the delay in the restaurant serving us lunch ate into that time. I would recommend this for a personalised and individual day out in the company of a kind person who knows the area and different tourist spots very well.
