All Chiang Rai Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 5

This is a very full day (11 hours) of seeing some outstanding highlights of Chiang Rai. Our guide, Kear, and our driver, Steve, were enthusiastic and excellent hosts. The agenda was varied, from temples to tea tasting and everything in between. We had a full day of learning about the Thai culture. I would recommend this tour!

Amazing cooking class! At first you meet the instructor (Suwannee) at the white clock tower then you go to the market to walk around to purchase food for the class. She tells you about may ingredients esp ones local to the area and even purchases snacks along the way so you can taste. Me and my classmate, Nadia, made pad thai, papaya salad, khao soi, and banana in coconut milk. You have multiple options to pick from on the menu. Dishes can be customized as well for allergies. Suwannee is very friendly, an excellent teacher, and has a great sense of humor. She even takes pics and videos of you during the class then makes a mini movie of the experience to send to you afterwards! Recipes are also emailed to you after the class. Nothing is rushed and each dish is so enjoyable (to look at and even more when eating)! Definitely a must do if you are in Chiang Rai!!

What a fabulous day out touring Chiang Rai and surrounds. It was an early start but so worth getting ahead of the crowds at the White temple and the blue temple . We then went on to the black house to explore plus a delicious Thai buffet lunch. Next stop Kareng Village then to Choui Fong tea plantation . There was a slightly longer drive to The Golden Triangle and opium museum. Guitar, our guide was fantastic; friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly had the trip running to schedule so that we got to see everything . He allowed enough time at each stop to explore and take photos. The van was clean and comfortable with plenty of water if you needed. We highly recommend this tour (and G’tar our guide ) as a great way to explore many sites easily in one day.
