★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 22 reviews · from $36Best value

Full-day Chiang Rai tour from Chiang Mai, White, Blue and Black temples plus Mae Khachan hot springs and optional Karen village.

“The food wasn't very good. For the hot springs, the activity takes place in a parking lot with two wells where locals cook their eggs. There are shops all around. It felt like being at a motorway service station. The temples are pretty, but the white one is an attraction with representations of good and evil. Marvels are classified as evil.”
