Chiang Rai is famed for its temples, including the spectacular White Temple. The city is roughly a 3.5-hour drive from Chiang Mai so a day trip by public transportation is tricky, but this bus tour makes it easy. An official guide ensures you don’t miss a single detail of the temples. Plus, enjoy a soak in some hot springs and visit a “longneck” village (entrance at your own expense).

Delish Food, Fun Times, This is a Must

This was one of our favorite activities. Our guide/teacher Lizzy was sooo funny and sweet. We learned about the herbs and vegetables in the garden, chose our own dishes to make which is nice because I’m vegetarian and my partner is not, smashed up our own curries, and ate our meals with people from literally around the world, and genuinely had a great time.

A lovely day trip to see...

A lovely day trip to see the elephants and have a great walk/hike through lovely rice fields. Doi Inthanon was cloudy the day we went, but still was a nice view, and the guide gave our group the option to skip for more time with the elephants if we didn’t want the cloudy vista. The sanctuary felt ethical and the animals seemed well treated and safe, and that made this a highlight of our stay!

Doi Inthanon National Park, Waterfall & Royal Project Day Tour From Chiang Mai

Ren_H, Jul 2026

Excellent Doi Inthanon Tour.

It was an excellent all day tour. The waterfalls were amazing. Visiting the Royal Project to taste the coffee and tea, visiting the rice fields and having lunch were good. Unfortunately, it was so foggy and drizzling that we could not see the pagodas. Our tour guide, Apple, was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

Spectacular Experience in Chiang Rai

This is an awesome tour. M was a very knowledgeable, kind and helpful guide and driver. We went in July, so bring an umbrella in case it starts raining. The temples are breathtakingly beautiful! We drove in from Chiang Mai and it was about three hours each way.

I really loved this tour....

I really loved this tour. Mumu and Tom were my tour guides and were absolutely fantastic. Mumu is easily the funniest person I have met in Thailand. She was also super informative and I learned a lot about Thai culture through her! I came for Doi Inthanon, but I really enjoyed all the other stops on the tour.

Visit Dantewada(Angel Land), Blue Temple, and Sticky Waterfall

Sean_B, Jul 2026

Great day trip

Great day trip tour from Chiang Mai. Sticky waterfall was fun and a refreshing experience and our guide was helpful and provided tons of interesting and educational information. Blue temple was a visual feast with so many great photography opportunities. Had a delicious lunch after the temple and then finished the day at Angel land where you are sure to find an instagram worthy photo spot or two. Great tour, good locations, and a fantastic guide. Would recommend and would do connect time I’m in Chiang Mai.

A wonderful day trip to Chiang Rai! Our tour guide, Peter, was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day well organized. He brought us to the three iconic temples, sharing interesting stories and local insights along the way. The pace was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly, making it an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Peter as your guide!

Must Do Adventure!

We visited Chiang Mai Elephant Care and were able to touch the elephants and feed them. I was happy that they had plenty of space and only limited visitors and that they were not taken out of their normal routine. Their caregivers gave us lots of interesting information. Definitely a highlight of my visit to Thailand.

This was a lovely...

This was a lovely experience visiting two temples in the evening. Due to the timing, we were able to see the temples in both daylight and then at night. Our guide was also very knowledgable and provided a lot of information about the temples and also Chiang Mai’s history. She was also very accommodating when people asked to be dropped off around town instead of at their hotel.

Sticky waterfall ATV and White water rafting Adventures

Emily_O, Mar 2026

Adventure-packed day with great guides and unforgettable stops

This was one of the best experiences we did in Chiang Mai and I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a full day of adventure. The tour included ATV riding, white water rafting, a stop at the Sticky Waterfall, and food — which made it a really well-rounded and enjoyable day. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Pick-up was on time, transportation was smooth, and the schedule flowed really well without feeling rushed. Each activity had enough time to enjoy without it feeling overwhelming. The ATV ride was a highlight. Riding through the jungle trails, dirt paths, and mud made it feel like a real adventure. The guides made sure everyone was comfortable before starting, which made it fun even for beginners. The Sticky Waterfall was such a unique experience. Being able to actually climb up the waterfall was something I’ve never done before and definitely worth it. It was also a great break in the day to enjoy the scenery and relax a bit. White water rafting was a great way to end the day. It was exciting and fun, but still felt safe with clear instructions from the guides. It added a really fun and energetic finish to the experience. Lunch was included and a nice addition — it gave us time to recharge and made the day feel complete rather than rushed between activities. A big part of what made this experience stand out was our guide, Mr. K. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. He kept the group engaged, explained each activity clearly, and really added to the overall experience. Overall, this tour is perfect if you want a mix of adventure, nature, and unique experiences all in one day. Everything was well coordinated and felt like great value. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.

Christine_S, Mar 2026

Best tour of its kind

Yo-Yo was a great tour guide. He was funny and gave us so much information. There are a lot of tours that do these same spots, but I will say no one I spoke to later that did a similar tour knew anything of the history of the area like I did after spending the day with Yo-Yo. Our group was 9 people and it was a good size. It is cool there in the mornings! Wear full length leggings and bring a light jacket you will be surprised that you will need it (March 26)
