A Room With A View in Hot Springs
I was here for work so I didn’t get much site seeing in, but the hotel did provide a list of good restaurants to eat at in the area. The gym is something I look for in hotels when I travel and they have a “good gym” (decent is having at least dumbbells up to 75 pounds with a pulley machine to at least give you some versatility). The breakfast area is a little lackluster for the overall look and feel of the hotel. The menu is also a bit sparse and a little on the expensive side for what it does offer. The room itself was fantastic! I had a room with a balcony view and it had a fairly good view of the marina. The bed was comfortable (pillows too soft), but the entire room was very spacious and clean. I needed to check out early due to finishing the job early and the hotel did initially penalize me for it, by charging me an early checkout fee (essentially a way of saying we’re charging you for a full night’s stay without saying that). The next day I was able to work it out with the general manager who refunded the fee.

very pretty but second thoughts, better the blue temple
The white temple is a modern inspiration from an artist. it is very pretty and unusual but somewhat lacks autenticity and has a philosophical error showing hell which is not compatible with buhdist teachings. The blue temple is a lot more interesting. dont miss it. easy to continue to the long necee village which is charming but touristy.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much you valuable review , we pleased to provide more good memories in future also.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Rai One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Rai One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe cost?
+
Prices start at $2288 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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe 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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe?
+
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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe 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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe?
+
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 One Day: White Temple, Golden Triangle, Akha Hilltribe 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.
