An Unforgettable Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Journey – Puma is Fantastic!

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Puma on our journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. She was incredibly welcoming, perfectly on time for our pick-up, and shared so much fascinating local culture and history with us along the way. Because of our specific route between the two cities, she thoughtfully customized our itinerary so we could experience a great variety of sights. Two stops that left a deep impression on us were a beautiful temple that is currently being rebuilt after a fire last year, and the Black House (Baan Dam Museum), which is actually a spectacular art museum rather than just a traditional temple. Puma’s local expertise truly elevated the whole trip. Thanks to her smart planning and guidance, we understood so much more about the places we visited （for example. no queue in while temple） Overall, it was a wonderful trip. Puma is a caring and knowledgeable guide who helped us immensely. If you are doing this route, I highly recommend her!
Mind Blowing Temples - For Real

5.00This was such an amazing experience for me and my daughter. We couldn’t ask for a better person to spend the day with. Yut was so thoughtful and knowledgable about the temples, their history and relationship to the respective surrounding communities. You’re not just getting a safe driver, you are getting what amounts to a trained monk and historian with a great personality and the patience to explain things in as much detail as you could ask for. The temples were on another level. Beyond words really. The temples are a fusion of modernity and the ancient, with mind blowing architecture that is surreal. This is a must-do bucket list activity. Just do it. Ask for Yut and thank me later. 🙏

5.00The temples were extraordinary. It was a long drive so having a premium car, cold water and cool towels at every stop was great. Our excellent driver and knowledgable, happy tour guide, Yut, made our day really special through his personal connection with the area, its history and the theology. Lunch was delicious.
Great Chiang Rai Temples Tour!

5.00Our guide Yut was fantastic! Knowledgeable of history and Buddhism. Temples are astounding and well worth the visit. The White Temple was just a little bit more special - Taj Mahal-ish. 🙏🙏

5.00Fabulous day spent with Yut learning above Buddhism and seeing 4 beautiful temples. Long drive gave us the time for enlightenment compliments of Yut - well worth it. The temples are magnificent, quirky, and so beautiful - the White Temple was just a little more special!
