This was a long day but...
This was a long day but completely worth it. We got plenty of time to visit the Long Neck village, and the three (White, Blue, Red) temples. Our guide, Som, was very good. This is our second tour with her. She gave a lot of explanation at each location, and kept everything on time. We returned to Chiang Mai around 7pm, which was what she had estimated right at the beginning of the day.

Incredible Temples Galore
This is a very worthwhile tour and good value for money. The guide New/Nu?? was very professional and explained each leg of the trip very thoroughly. We started at the Karen Long Neck Tribe (those who paid for it) and it was all quite fascinating learning how they live, their background and then they offer various handmade objects for sale at very reasonable prices. Followed on to the hot springs, which was a little reminiscent of New Zealand's geysers (the smell at least) and we were able to soak our feet in basins, once we cooled the water. The temples are incredible; the White is magnificent with sparking edifices, statues and stupas for miles. Quite an arresting sight. This was followed by a very traditional and delicious lunch healthy and filling and buffet style so as much as you want. The Blue Temple is different, more of a royal appearance, due to the deep azure and gold tones. Smaller than the white, but no less impressive, with a massive Buddha statue inside. Then there is the Red Temple; what a finale for the tour, with the utterly overwhelming grand Buddha. This is a show stopper, as you enter the structure and take the lift that brings you to the 25th floor inside Buddha's head. Looking out is an amazing vista, over the Red Pagoda (how the site gets its name) and the surrounding countryside. By this time we were feeling quite weary, but this definitely resparked our enthusiasm. The trip home was tiring, about 3 hours, with a comfort stop halfway, but what a fabulous day. Highly, highly recommended.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples?
+
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 Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Rai Day Tour from Chiang Mai : Red, White and Blue 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.
