A fun way to spend the afternoon on the water
The speedboat ride added excitement and the snorkeling spots had plenty to look at. I went with friends and everyone enjoyed the day. The sea was a little choppy on the way back, but the crew handled it well.

Full Day … but use your time wisely 😉
One long but AMAZING day! Started off w a 7am pick up at the local Burger King attached to the “M Hotel” The 11 passenger AC van was comfy. Our driver and guide sat up front while the group of nine sat in back. I’m a 6ft 300lbs guy who sat very comfortably in the center seat… yeah no Tuk-Tuks for me HAHA! The stops are spread out pretty good so you are not spending too much time in the van. You are given about 45m at each location… it’s adequate for most but don’t waste it because it goes by QUICK. Hoping back in a AC van is pretty sweet too! All three temples, long neck village, hot springs and Golden Triangle Boat trip were great! Would have loved more time at White Temple though… feel like we had more time to eat then explore that area. Guide was very nice and spoke great English. Double check your tour package though. I was a last minute add as solo member and package did not match up. Was ask to pay extra $ for a couple entries which I did. Then I emailed my booking company which corrected the details over the phone and I was refunded the cash. Guide apologized profusely but I kept telling her it was no fault of hers and how was she supposed to know right. Thais are soo polite and sweet, it’s regretful she had to feel soo bad. Boat cruise was nice. I will say sit towards the back though… River guide talks the entire 50min ride… you don’t want be a near a speaker 😆! All in all just an amazing day! Ride back was long but the breakout up w bathroom stop. 100% recommend this trip… for $50 unbeatable ❤️ (my only criticism would be to have tour guides give the information right before a stop and then set folks free as to maximize the limited sightseeing time)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re truly happy to hear that you had such an amazing day with us and that you found the journey comfortable and enjoyable. It’s great to know the pacing of the stops worked well for you and that you were able to experience so many highlights along the way. We especially appreciate your kind words about our guide. She will be very grateful for your understanding regarding the booking confusion, and we’re glad to hear the issue was resolved and refunded accordingly. Thank you also for your helpful suggestions. We will certainly take this into account as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Very very long day with rewarding places to visit and with a guide who desperately needs training
I already wrote a very lengthy review on Viator.com. It was a very very long day. Not sure why we stopped at the hot springs. We loved the White Temple and the Blue Temple. We found the Long Neck Village, the Black Museum and the Golden Triangle very interesting. Lunch was satisfactory. Our guide, Emmy, was friendly but needs a lot of training to be an excellent guide. Her function was more as a time keeper making sure we all returned on time. She gave us very very little information about the places we were visiting.

Very rushed
The places we went were great, but the bus was late picking us up. We did not get to spend much time in any one place which made it hard to enjoy our time. Example, we thought we were getting a full hour at the White Temple but was really less than 45 minutes because the lunch that was provided was a part of that time. Also, the tour guide spent so much time talking before letting us explore that it also cut into our time at each place.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the places you visited. We sincerely apologize for the late pickup and for the limited time at each stop. We understand how this can affect the overall experience. Your comments about the schedule and the guide’s briefing time are noted, and we will share them with our team and the operator to improve time management and ensure the itinerary matches expectations as closely as possible. Thank you again for helping us improve, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you on a better experience in the future. Best regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Rai Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Rai Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 116 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 Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village?
+
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 Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Rai Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village?
+
Around 41 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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chiang Rai Full Day Tour with Boat Trip and Longneck Village 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.
