Overview

Swap Chiang Mai for a place nicknamed “the city of art”—Chiang Rai. Benefit from the convenience of having a private driver to take you there—a much more comfortable option than crowded local buses. Upon arrival, see multiple temples, such as the White Temple and the Blue Temple; go to hot springs; and see the Golden Triangle—where Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar meet.

Some of the best temples I have seen

David_T, Jan 2024

The private tour of Chiang Rai was a great way to see all the temples in Chiang Rai in a day without needing to get a hotel there. On the trip I saw the White, Red, and Blue temples and also got to visit the Black house. I was able to pick the places I was interested in seeing rather than being stuck to the itinerary of the group tours. All the temples were interesting and worth the trip. The car was cool and comfortable. The tour guide had a lot of info about all the temples and knowledge on where to take some good photos. Would recommand

Insightful and Fun Day Trip

Andres_C, Dec 2023

Very fun day trip. The guide was very knowledgeable. The sights were amazing. Transportation was easy and very prompt.

Awesome trip - great guide and driver

Arnina_N, Nov 2023

This was a private trip so we got to do only what we wanted. It helped to have an idea in advance of other interesting sites to see. So we could stop at those also. We asked to stop at the Black house and the opium museum. Really interesting history. Great information. Na-na was our guide and her English was great. Loved her descriptions and all the info. Very kind and patient with us as we asked tons of questions. Really sweet. I would definitely recommend this trip!!!

Great experience to see Chiang Rai in one day!

Excellent private tour from my tour guide Ming. He was knowledgeable, flexible, and sociable. We were easily able to add the long neck hill tribe visit and Golden Triangle/Laos market visit to the itinerary (though I would receive skipping the Laos market). It was also a lot of driving (about 8 hours in total) and the driver (who's name escapes me) was perfectly professional and efficient. Word of warning; bring enough cash for shopping/hill tribe and boat fee(s)/tips/etc.

Thank you for your great review. Customers happy we're happy too.

Awesome experience !

Started our day trip at 7am, and ended at 730pm. The journey was long but pleasant with mr. Joe our tour guide. The picturesque views and the gorgeous temples made our day. Being a private tour, we had our time to start, take stop overs and still cover the places we wanted to visit. My family and I had a good time and enjoyed the tour. highly recommend this private tour with Mr. Joe. Thank you !

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for a nice review, Chiangrai trip is quite a long trip but there are many interesting places to visit. Come with us for the most enjoyable experience.

Insightful, Educational, and Mind-blowing!

Christian_D, Dec 2020

Traveling during 2020 was a scary thought. Joe put us completely at ease and we were comfortable in his care all day. He is an engaging guide and you can tell he cares about his guests.

Response from Host, Dec 2020

Many thanks for the review, very happy. The trip to Chiangrai a bit long in 1 day but it's great to see all attraction and a high light. I'm looking forward to service you again. Joe.

Exactly as advertised - great guide/driver

Donald_W, Feb 2020

Joe was an excellent and reliable driver and guide. His English is clear, his car was clean, comfortable, and air conditioned. He adjusted the stops to what we wanted to do, and there were no unexpected stops or sales pitches. He was on time, and he gave realistic estimates of when we would be at our next stop. We would definitely book with him again without hesitation.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you for your review. looking forward to service your party again. Joe.

BEST DAY EVER WITH JOE!!

melissagarsen, Dec 2019

Joe is the greatest guide ever!! His English is perfect and he is fun and interesting and easy to communicate with. He made sure that we did everything we wanted to and that we were always safe and comfortable. He picked us up at our hotel at 7am and we headed towards Chiang Rai. We stopped for a coffee at the hot springs and then stopped at a rice paddy field which was really cool. The next stop was The White Temple which was so incredibly beautiful and striking. After spending about a 1/2 hour of so, Joe took us to a buffet lunch. Joe explained a lot to us about the very rich artist who built the White Temple which was very interesting. Next came the drive to The Golden Triangle with a boat ride over to Laos. Quick but interesting experience. Nice to see the Gold Buddha from the river as we returned back. Next destination was the Karen Long Neck Village which was extra money and worth it. Those women are simply incredible and they were all very welcoming and willing to take photos with us. Of course, we purchased a few of their wares. The Blue Temple (built by a student of the artist that built the White Temple) was our last stop before heading back to our hotel. This temple really is stunning and so worth making a trip to. This was a very long day but worth it. Joe did an incredible job and we highly recommend him. He is a very safe driver and must have been exhausted but never showed it. He was so good in fact, that we are already wanting to come back to Thailand to take us on another tour!!! Thank you Joe for a day that we will always remember.
