The tour guide explained everything clearly and slowly, so it was fun. The tour time was short and it was hectic, but I thought it was inevitable since we had to go around everything in one day. We were able to spend a fulfilling day visiting the White and Blue Temples, the Golden Triangle, and the Long Neck Village for an additional 300 baht.

White temple in Chiang Rai is a must see, although it is not an old temple the art of is is mesmerising.

Because the place is far away, the driving time is relatively long. You have enough time to visit the location. You pay extra to visit Long Neck Village and experience the specialties of various ethnic groups. The lunch is a buffet, and the style and taste are also good.

It was a really long tour. However, the White Temple was so beautiful that I think it was definitely worth a visit.
