Very educational, you pack a lot into a short little day trip! My guide was very knowledgeable. I switched my pickup location last minute and they reached out right away in the morning and fixed it. Very nice.

It was an amazing and exhilarating day with Susie our guide. Highly recommend this 12 hour experience (if you are coming from Chiang Mai).

Individualized attention with a busy, very full day. Sandy provided almost continuous narration and insight. Thoroughly enjoyed our 9 hour day visiting Hill Tribe Villages, tea plantation, lunch stop, Mae Sai skywalk and Golden Triangle/Opium Museum.

Our guide and driver took us to visit a beautiful tea plantation, a border town for shopping, lunch and a boat ride at the golden triangle, an opium museum, and tribal village. We had a great day with a friendly, accommodating guide and driver. If we did it again I would ask to spend more time at the tea plantation and tribal village, and less time at the border town.

Personable and got a good understanding of the area.

Very personable and trustworthy guide experience. Wish he spoke More English to give more history but he did a good Job. Very organized. We saw a lot.

Fun and exciting

Sandy was the perfect guide - she was very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best time. She definitely went above and beyond.

Wonderful day trip!

Informative but sad

Lani_N, Nov 2023

First of all, our guide was first-rate- very knowledgeable with a knack for keeping us comfortable. The Longneck Karen portion began as a grueling gauntlet through elder tribes people haranguing us to buy their “handmade” overpriced trinkets that were really China-made junk. I feel sad that they were reduced to this to live. Later, there was another tribe that had some beautiful, real hand-woven scarves that inspired me to purchase. They were much more low-key. Still, I don’t know how much I’d like being on display. We also visited the Opium Museum and learned the history of opium production, trade, war and human devastation. Informative but sad.

Amazing day tour of Karen tribe, golden triangle & opium museum
