What you'll see and do
Wat Rong Khun
Rong Khun Temple is unique from other temples in that it has been constructed entirely in a radiant white color with sparking reflections from mirrored glass mosaics embedded in the white plaster. The temple is the idea of Mr. Chalermchai Kositpipat, one of Thailand most renowned artists, who wanted to build a temple all in white to signify the purity of Lord Buddha. The artist continues to puts his religious belief and desire to enrich Buddhism in Thailand into his contemporary art design.

Baan Dam Museum
Incase of booking Baan Dam (Black Museum) program 207 Km. drive from the middle of Chiang Mai city to Baan Dam (Black House) is the unique creation of national artist, Thawan Duchanee. Part art studio, part museum, part home, Baan Dam is an eclectic mix of traditional northern Thai buildings interspersed with some outlandish modern designs. Baan Dam is a thought-provoking combination of sanuk, the surreal and the sombre and whilst it’s fair to say that some of the artwork and themes on display won’t be to everybody’s liking, I’d still recommend checking out the Black House if you are visiting Chiang Rai. (This program not included case booking Lalita Cafe)

Wat Rong Seur Ten (Blue Temple)
Chiang Rai Blue Temple or Wat Rong Seua Ten is located in Rong Suea Ten in the district of Rimkok a few kilometers outside Chiang Rai. It is a recent temple which is still under construction even if its main hall is now completed. It is above all its magnificent blue interior with a large white Buddha that marks the spirits. The paintings are reminiscent of the style of what you can see inside the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). The great standing Buddha, also white, standing in front of the back, is also superb. Between the White Temple, the Black House and the Blue Temple, Chiang Rai is definitely the city of colorful temples!

Mae Khachan Hot Spring
Mae Khachan Hot Springs is in Wiang Pa Pao, Chiang Rai. The thermal waters can be experienced at a number of locations in this district, but for the onward traveler this means right next to the main Chiang Mai – Chiang Rai Highway 118 (on both sides of the road). Most tour operators will describe this as an attraction, but to be honest your driver needs a break half way to Chiang Rai, and will stop whether you want to or not!

Longneck Karen Village
** Important: This activity is booking selected package "B" option only it's included Karen Village admission fee. Visiting one of the numerous Karen Long Neck villages in Thailand is one of the most exotic experiences on the planet. The mystery and beauty that sound the tradition of using brass rings for exaggerated jewelry is something better seen in person than in a book. We had ethical questions on if it these hill tribe villages would feel like human zoos, but thankfully we decided to visit anyway. It is a real-life National Geographic Magazine experience to have to see to believe.

Memorable Day
Wonderful Chiang Rai Day Tour! A full 10-hour adventure packed with highlights. The Long Neck Village was a fascinating cultural experience. Both the White Temple and Blue Temple were absolutely stunning in their own unique ways. We enjoyed a quick relaxing break at the hot spring, and ended the day at the amazing Lolita Café with great interior misty Jangol design, food, coffee and dessert was available on Restaurant. Well-organized tour, great guide with good English and very helpful. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Terrible guide, no history provided, hard to understand, I do not recommend.
The guide was hard to understand, short and did not have a lot of detailed information on the temples. The driver was driving fast around corners making others feel unsafe. I would not recommend this tour again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your auditor normally we have profesional tour guide and always train and briefing every time before tour, in this case we talk with tour guide and give them warning verbal for the next trip (some guide lazy but we don't know on tour, then we have auditor like you to improved our srvice). Thank you once again for your commence. With ebst regards,

Long drive/ temples amazing
The guide and the sites were amazing. The only downside and why I am giving this a four is the transportation. Yes it had A/C but for such a long trip it was very crammed. I would suggest to anyone looking to visit these temples to make the effort and book 2 night stay in Chiang Rai. If you do this, you will avoid the 6 hour car ride(3hrs there and 3hrs back) You will also be able to reach the temples bright and early avoiding all the crowds.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your positive comment we will keep this service and improve our staff for future traveler ever and welcome to come back again. With best regards,...

Amazing!
A very fulfilling trip. The guide was not only passionate, But Also really funny. He explained a lot of history behind each temple, and each creator. He cracked good jokes and took well care of us. Made sure we had water, ate when we had lunch and reminded us to always Ask if there was any problem or question. Felt safe and taken care of through the whole trip. Driver was Also very good and skilled. Would recommend everyone

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai: White Temple-Black Museum-Blue Temple start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
