1.Chiang Rai Temples: Private Tour from Chiang Mai

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,267 reviews · from $144Our pick

Leave Chiang Mai at 7 a.m. for a private, full-day trip to Chiang Rai with guides such as O, Yut, Tong, and Poon. Visit the White, Blue, and Huay Pla Kang temples plus Wat Sang Kaew Photiyarn, with lunch, entrance fees, water, and hotel pickup included.

“Phoon our driver was great! He kept us up to date on all the history of each location and takes some amazing photos so have no fear ladies! He allowed us to move at our pace and nothing felt rushed. We actually ended the day a little early to fight traffic as the lantern festival was going on and this way he could get rest and we could have some downtime as well. We also dodged tourists so some of these sites felt private when visiting. Great experience overall and would highly recommend taking this tour!”

“Great guide (Nui) and driver - highly recommend both! He took us to a surprisingly good lunch spot and was very knowledgeable and amusing. We reduced the time in a car for the day by scheduling the tour at the end of our time in Chiang Mai and flying out of Chiang Rai. Not expensive and Nui easily accommodated the change.”
