The tour we had was under Banana and was very well-planned and fun. He was very informative and was able to explain the temples well. He also took amazing pictures. There was a bottle of cold water provided during the tour and mango sticky rice provided at the end of the tour!

Total value for money. From pick up till drop off there were no issues. If you are a vegetarian , they will also be able to accomodate veg food.

it was a long drive but totally worth it. We were able to cover most of popular attractions in Chiang Rai. The guide and the driver were both helpful and friendly. The only negative thing for me is that the van is a bit hot. I wish that it was a bit cooler so we can be comfortable considering that it is a full van. Other than that, the tour was excellent.

It’s really a bit far, but the White Temple is super beautiful, the Blue Temple is also worth visiting, and the Guangming Temple is a bit tasteless. The mango sticky rice served at the end was surprisingly delicious. The tour guide worked very hard, I think it was OK.

We booked a day trip to Chiang Rai through Klook, and it was a fantastic experience! The driver picked us up on time at 7 AM from our hotel, and the entire journey was smooth and well-planned. The itinerary covered beautiful attractions like the Blue Temple, White Temple, Lalitta Café, and more. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke both Chinese and English, making the tour informative and engaging. Lunch was included, and the food was great. We also appreciated the small details like bottled water and a discount on drinks. The schedule was well-paced, allowing us enough time to explore each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Chiang Mai and wanting to experience Chiang Rai hassle-free!
