Mae Khachan Hot Spring
Visit Mae Khachan Hot Spring to plunge your feet into warm, alleviating mineral water. There are three natural hot springs. Each pond is about 3 meters wide and has a room temperature of around 80 degrees. Eggs can be boiled within 3 minutes. Private mineral baths connect the hot springs to the baths. There is a market for souvenirs such as local cotton woven clothes and carved wood ornaments with restaurants, tea shops, cafes etc.

Wat Rong Khun
Then, visit Wat Rong Khun, a unique temple that stands out through the white color and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white colour signifies the purity of the Buddha, while the glass symbolizes the Buddha’s wisdom and the Dhamma, the Buddhist teachings. Eventually, there will be nine buildings, including an ubosot, a hall to enshrine Buddhist relics, a meditation hall, the monks living quarters, and an art gallery.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Rai Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Rai Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch 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 Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch?
+
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 Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 13-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Chiang Rai Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch?
+
Around 0 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 Temples Private Tour from Chiang Mai with Lunch 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.
