A FRAUD
A fraud! I arrange via email a tour to chaing rai to see the temples in a day. They said me a voucher as confirmation and said me to pay by cash the driver because they weren’t able to provide me the right link to pay on paypal. On the day of the pick up they didn’t show up on time and I started trying to contact them. They first said they were coming and asking for the tour confirmation. I sent them the voucher and they said it the tour was NOT confirmed (even if I had the voucher in my hands!!!!!!). They said me to either pay a private tour with them istead (far more expensive) or do the tour by our own. In any case they didn’t want to come, SO DON’T BOOK WITH THEM, THERE ARE MANY OTHER RELIABLE TOUR OPERATORS IN CHAING MAI!

Best Tour Operator in Thailand!!
Just arrived in Ko Samui with my wife and 3 children after a 10 days trip to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle. Odi (owner) and Moon (our guide) were incredible and provided us with a life time experience. Thank you Guys, our kids wont forgrt those moments. Key Services provided (Highlights) - Pick up and drop off from/too all airports - Luxury van with A/C and cooler with drinks to take us to every attraction - Moon (our amazing Guide) is a former Monk himself and was able to transmit great knowledge to our kids and also organized chats with current monks on the temples - Itinerary was perfect: Bangkok (temples, floating market, tuk tuk transfers), Chiang Mai (temples, alms giving 6a.m., chat with monks, rice planting lessons, farming, rescued elephants ethical tour and bath,night market), Chiang Rai (white temple), Golden Triangle (boat trip to Myanmar and Laos, visit to hill tribes, visit to local school) I would recommend these guys 100% sure you wont regret it Im available for any references/photos if needed

Chiang Rai Day Tour From Chiang Mai
The journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai took approximately 4 hours. On the way to Chiang Rai, we had a short stop at a hot spring park for tea and toilet break. There are many food and souvenirs shops. After the stop we continue to visit the White Temple. It’s beautiful. The area is quite big. We were allowed to go into the temple but taking pictures was not allowed. Before proceeded to visit the Blue Temple, we had our lunch at a nearby restaurant. Food was average. Not tasty. The Blue Temple is not far from the White Temple. It’s smaller. Inside the temple, there were many paintings about the life of Buddha. The temple is beautiful too. I prefer the White temple more. Next stop is the Baan Daam or Black house where it kept many items made of animals. It’s something like a taxidermy. Personally, I don’t really enjoy the Black house since there’s nothing much to see. The area is big but most of the items were the same. There were crocodiles, furniture made of buffaloes’ bones amongst others. Our last stop was the Long Neck village which I enjoyed very much. We met with several ladies with long neck. They were previously from Burma. They put on heavy metal around their neck until the shoulder lowered down and that made the neck appeared longer. It was understood that they started wearing the metal around their neck at the age of 5 years. Previously it was made of gold, today it’s made of bronze. The metal weigh around 3 kg. The people made souvenirs to support their daily needs. It was really a long day but an enjoyable tour. The visit to the long neck village was one I enjoyed the most.

Lovely places, bad tour
We booked the trip without an Optional Karen Long Neck tour, however the tour agent decided to group us with 2 people who had this tour. This means that we either had to wait for 30 minutes for the others to finish their tour or we had to buy the tour with them. Total scam. Secondly, the driver and the car are horrible. I am not even joking when I say that the 3 hour drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai was done using the Van's 1st and 2nd gear. For some reason the driver kept pressing and releasing the gas pedal every 5 seconds. So you can imagine what a horrible 6 hour car ride we had. Finally, the guide was abysmall at best. I really loved the places, but I would recommend everyone get a private car trip and avoid this company

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 11 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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai?
+
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 Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai?
+
Around 4 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Guided Tour of Chiang Rai Temples from Chiang Mai 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.
