5.00If you have the time, definitely include this day tour to see the amazing temples of Chiang Rai. Our tour guide Avi was outstanding and provided us so much information about the history of Thailand, Buddhism, and the temples. He truly went above and beyond to make the tour extra special.

5.00We had an excellent experience on the Chiang Rai temples tour. Our guide, Jintawat, was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire trip. Before entering each temple, he provided very interesting information and cultural context, and then gave us the perfect amount of time to explore on our own, which made the visit very comfortable and enjoyable. The temples were stunning, and the overall tour organization was excellent. Highly recommended!

1.00All the tours you will find on site will pick you up from your hotel (if in the old town), not them. In fact, we had booked a pickup closer to our hotel. They've changed the location to suit them. By the time we noticed it, it was too late and didn’t give us time to join them. Easy, it was already paid. The easiest way is to go through another local provider who will come to your hotel
