Yes Sandy is an awesome guide. She could describe the history and cultural value of the attractions very well, and in English and Mandarin. She takes care of everyone and is humorous and approachable. Highly recommend this itinerary, and it’s cheaper than every other similar trip

The white temple and blue temple is absolutely stunning!!!! The black temple is actually a museum… and it would be great if there are more time to explore around! Wonderful trip!

It was such a unique experience seeing the three temples in front of me. Astonishingly beautiful and fascinating. The car was clean and our guide was very professional. In addition to introducing the temples he also shared with us many interesting stories. I enjoyed the trip a lot. The schedule was well planned and I highly recommend this trip.

Visit a few place include the beautiful white temple . Overall the trip was ok except it was a little too rush. Some place was less than an hour to explore due to avoiding the traffic jam back to Chiang Mai. The tour guide was knowledgeable and feed us with a lot of information and history of the trip.

The breathtaking beauty of the White Temple is beyond words! The pure white temple gleams in the sunlight, the mirrored fragments creating a sense of sanctity that contrasts sharply with the Hand of Hell sculpture; every corner is a work of art. Our guide explained the architect's design philosophy, giving us a deeper understanding of this modern temple.

The magnificence of the White Temple is indescribable! The pure white temple shimmers in the sunlight, like stepping into a fairyland. Our guide explained the Buddhist meaning behind the architecture in detail, allowing us to understand not just taking photos, but also the artist's creative vision. Lunch was arranged at an authentic Thai restaurant, with a rich and delicious menu, recharging us for the afternoon's activities. The Black Temple is less a temple and more like a mysterious art museum. The primal architectural complex contrasts sharply with the White Temple, showcasing the diversity of Northern Thai art. Finally, the Blue Temple is a visual feast! The highly saturated blue color scheme paired with gold accents is breathtakingly beautiful under the sunset, with every corner offering a perfect photo opportunity.

The White Temple is a visual feast! The pure white buildings shimmer in the sunlight, their details exquisitely crafted like works of art. The guide's professional explanation of the architect's design philosophy allowed us to not only appreciate the beauty but also understand the underlying Buddhist philosophy. Special praise goes to the excellent time management; each attraction had ample time to explore, ensuring we weren't rushed. The included hotel pick-up and drop-off saved us a lot of trouble, making it incredibly cost-effective!

This itinerary deserves a perfect score! The entire trip was well-planned and fulfilling, the tour guide was professional and attentive, and it's definitely the most worthwhile day trip to Chiang Mai!

Special thanks to our tour guide for his thoughtful service. He not only took many beautiful photos for us but also paid close attention to the needs of the group members. If you also want to experience the essence of Chiang Rai's art in one day, this itinerary is definitely the perfect choice.

This day trip to Chiang Rai was incredibly fulfilling! It started with the dreamy, pristine White Temple, stepping inside feeling like entering an artist's meticulously crafted otherworld. Then came the Blue Temple, where being enveloped in its deep blue hues was both mysterious and awe-inspiring. The Black Temple offered a completely different atmosphere, brimming with power and primitive artistic charm. Finally, we visited the Long Neck Karen village, witnessing their culture and way of life firsthand, which left a deep impression on me. The scenery along the way was beautiful and photogenic, and the itinerary was packed yet not tiring – a truly worthwhile day trip!
