Great day in Chiang Rai
Ammy was very knowledgeable and passionate about Thai traditions and the story of the places we visited. We had a long day from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai stopping at long neck Karen village

Dont miss it!
Very beautiful temples. We also had some Thai experiences like durian ice cream, Khao Soi, coconut ble ice cream and original red bull, thanks to our great tour guide Ammy. Long neck village was also amazing!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely comments. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the places we visited. We hope you had an amazing time discovering Thailand.

A wonderful day trip to Chiang Rai
The trip was amazing, Ammy is a very friendly guide. She speaks English very well and has many stories to tell about the temples and Thai culture in general. The price already included all fees (except lunch), so we didn't have to waste time queueing for tickets. We were lucky to be the only ones, so it became a VIP tour, only me and my girl on the van. That way, the guide was able to give us a better experience. At the temples, it wasn't crowded, there was plenty of time to contemplate and take pictures. Ammy also became an excellent photographer! The mood there was amazing, the visitors in general were respectful and kind. Definitely it wasn't that "mass tourism trap". This trip is perfect for couples and for groups interested in Thai culture, architecture and/or Buddhism, as there will be a lot of beautiful structures to see and many Buddhist details. Our trip was booked through another company, Phi Phi Brazuca (a Brazilian-focused company) which sells this tour with Portuguese and English-speaking guides. As the Portuguese speaking guide was more expensive, I bought the English speaking one, so the company outsourced it to a local company, which for me was the best choice because as a Brazilian I wish to have contact with local people when traveling abroad and not so much with fellow Brazilians.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share this amazing 5-star review with our team! We love hearing how much you enjoyed the Chiang Rai day tour! We know you have choices when it comes to your travel adventures, and it means the world to us that you’ve chosen to book an experience with our team. Thank you again for supporting our local business and we hope to see you again in the future!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chiang Rai: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Chiang Rai: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1700 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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour 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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour?
+
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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour 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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour?
+
Around 19 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: White, Blue, Red Temples and Long Neck Village Tour 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.
