Take a Taxi

This is a must see Temple just a grand as White Temple and not that far way from each other. They is no entrance fee. It is smaller but just the same you should visit . They is toilets and places to eat. You could easy spend a hour here or more. We hired taxi for the day 2000 baht to take us temple sightsee . We started about 9am and got back about 3pm. No rush . Not like tour groups being there as certain time. And taxi driver took us to hidden gem that only Thais go to, Not advertised on line.

It has good ratings for a reason

Amazing day. It was really hot the day we went and I forgot to pack an umbrella and sunscreen. That was the biggest regret. The temples are packed and you will never get a picture without people in it so those photos you see online of people in front of the white temple and no one‘s there 100% Photoshopped. We did stop at this rainforest Café. I forgot what it was called and someone in our group had an accident and fell into the waterfall and rocks, so our tour was delayed a bit to take her to the hospital. The tour guide was amazing. I forget her name tho (sorry!). It is a very long day, but the lunch that you have is amazing one of the best meals I had in Thailand. People in our group were rude, and when we were told to meet back at a point at a certain time, they were late, and it turns out that if the tour takes longer than in the description that the tour guide has to pay the driver out of their own pocket to pay for his overtime. I felt bad and suggested she told the same people that were late to charge them, but she would have to pay and finally the third time they were late she said something, and I backed her up.

Tour Guide did not pick us up nor contact us

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!! Guide did not show up and this was the only reason we decided to leave Bangkok area. Lost money on flights, hotels, and other expenses while not being able to book another tour like it. Travel Everywhere Co.,LTD. is the local carrier and they did not answer phone nor emails till after 10am local time which was over two hours after original pickup time. Now on to Viator; you would think that a TripAdvisor company would vet these local operators which obviously is not the case. I have bought many tours and reviewed many places for TripAdvisor but I think those days have come to an end.

Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

How much does Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples cost?

+

Prices start at $990 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 to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples take?

+

Plan for about 11.5 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 to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples?

+

Around 1 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 11.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai Visit the White, Blue, and Red Temples 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.
