Driver was nice too.. was not easy driving for 3hrs straight back home.. thanks! Recommended this tour :)

To be honest, I really recommend this local tour of klook, it’s great! The tour guide speaks good English and can introduce the history. You don’t just check in, you can also learn about the background. You can choose freely for lunch, and you are not forced to go to a certain restaurant. The attractions are just like the pictures, well worth going! However, it is not suitable for bringing young children, because the 3-hour drive is quite tiring because the vehicle space is relatively narrow. It is recommended to drive or charter a car with young children.

the tour guide (Alisa) was so nice and helpful to help us take lots of photo individually and introduce the viewpoints using our language in order to deeply understand the culture and history of each viewpoints. although the flooding issue cause that we cannot go to the blue and black temple, the another two viewpoints were so magnificent.

I thought it was more cost-effective to visit the three famous temples in Chiang Rai efficiently than visiting each one individually. I was worried because the pick-up time was significantly delayed, but other than that I had a comfortable stay. On the way back, I requested to be dropped off in the old town of Chiang Mai instead of the hotel, and they kindly agreed.

Immersed in the cultural history of Thailand. Beautiful white, blue, and black temples! Love trying their coconut ice creams inspired by the color of their temples. 🩵
