Golden Triangle and Doi Tung.

4.00This tour was expensive but very rewarding. It takes you to the Royal Villa and beautiful gardens at Doi Tung, downtown Mae Sai including the border crossing, the ruins of an ancient temple at Chiang Saen, and the Golden Triangle. Very comfortable vehicle, leisurely pace, and driver with good English and reasonable knowledge of geography.

5.00The highlight of this wonderful tour was our guide, Bank. He was informative, attentive and funny. The sights were amazing and an opportunity to get away from the crowds and hustle of the cities. We got to see the country side around Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle.

5.00Our tour was with Bank..Extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. Had information on sites we visited also on royal family, current government structure , economy, former opium trade and business, healthcare system, and alot of good knowledge. All the sites and where we went very interesting. Household of Queen Mother was wonderful and so was what she did for her country. Ask for Bank!

5.00Best experience for us was the lunch cruise at the golden triangle. Suzy was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Flexible when she realized we had already toured the White Temple and instead toured tea plantation. Overall, we would recommend this experience. Thanks again for a great day!
A memorable inroduction to the Golden Triangle

4.00With tourism globally impacted by to COVIDvirus, our minibus tour was in a comfortable private car with just us 2 and the driver/guide. Over 8 hours, leaving from Chiang Rai, we covered all that was listed in the itinerary, albeit not necessarily in the same order as advertised. There were many highlights, including the beautifully maintained Mae Fah Leung Garden and Royal Villa at Doi Tung, the delicious Thai smorgasbord at a roadside stop, people watching at the Thai/Myanmar border crossing at Mae Sae, standing at the confluence of the Ruok and Mekong Rivers, looking simultaneously from Thailand to Laos and Myanmar, some impressive ancient Wat and the Opium Museum - well presented and informative. On the downside, smoke from Myanmar impeded what should have been awesome mountain vistas, and our guide/driver provided a couple of heart- stopping moments by crossing to the wrong side of the road on blind downhill corners. Fortunately traffic was light. We live to tell the tale!
