Private full-day Chiang Rai tour covering the Golden Triangle, Mae Khong boat ride, Monkey Cave, Longneck Karen village, and tea plantation.

“I spend time yearly in Thailand and one of my most memorable days now was a day trip exploring the Golden Triangle and Maekhong with Mr. Banks. A private tour was perfect as we love exploring on our own schedule without hurry. Mr. Banks was very courteous and enjoyable and he had very good English. He was very knowledgable about the area and its history and he provided great information and insight throughout the day. Our transportation was first class and prompt and this tour was everything you hope for when you book a tour. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

15.Chiang Rai 2 Temples and Golden Triangle

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 12 reviews · 9 hours · from $70

A fast one-day Chiang Rai tour from Chiang Mai, mixing Blue and White Temple art with Mae Khachan Hot Spring and a Golden Triangle longtail boat cruise.

“I templi molto deludenti, direi quasi tresh, non c’era niente di spirituale in essi, sono una rivisitazione del concetto di tempio in chiave moderna. Il vero problema poi è stata la guida che, per quanto fosse molto gentile, non ci ha spiegato nulla. In più 6 ore di pullman andata e ritorno è stato sfiancante per stare poi solo 3 ore sul posto… peccato!”
