Crowded temples, black house nice surprise

Giulia_B, Jan 2026
A bit challenging from the point of view of transfer (at least 3h to get to chiang rai) and extremely crowded temples, maybe going back I would have stayed in chiang rai to get there very early in the morning, but this does not depend on the tour operator. The guide was extremely kind and provided us with useful information, appropriate time to visit the temples, even abundant. Perhaps skippable blue temple, nice surprise instead the Black House, very interesting as an exhibition space of contemporary art.

Parfait

Louise_R, Jan 2025
Super cool La visite est top, le guide super sympa. Je pense que l'endroit où il y a les femmes à long cou est un peu un ''attrape touriste'' mais bon pourquoi pas. Je referais cette excursion sans problème.

Response from Host, Jan 2025
