Explore Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai, tucked into the forested mountains of northern Thailand, is a former Lanna kingdom capital. With ancient temples, misty hills, and artisan villages, Chiang Mai offers a peaceful contrast to the bustle of Bangkok. Chiang Mai weather varies by season, with the cool, dry months from November to February being ideal for outdoor adventures and temple visits. Top things to do in Chiang Mai include exploring the Old City, visiting mountaintop Doi Suthep, and wandering Chiang Mai night markets, where food, crafts, and local charm come together every evening. One highlight is the city shines during the Chiang Mai Lantern Festival, when thousands of glowing lanterns float into the night sky—a truly magical sight.

Reviews: CHIANG RAI Iconic White, Blue Temple, Black House Museum Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-14
Excellent tour, I loved everything. The only unpleasant thing was that after the hot springs, they took me to Karen Village, which wasn't on the itinerary, and asked me to pay a 300 baht entrance fee. Everything else was on the itinerary and there were no extra charges. Meals were free at the buffet.

Everything was great, except for the pickup and drop-off. Because our hotel was a kilometer from the Old Town, we had to leave at 7 a.m. to go to another location, which was problematic. Otherwise, the tour was good.

Due to my own carelessness, I overlooked a small detail: this tour was from Chiang Mai, not Chiang Rai, as I was staying in the latter. This was quickly noticed, and the agency contacted me. Ultimately, it was decided that I would meet the group at the white temple, which I would reach independently. I skipped the hot springs and the village of the long-necked Karen (this was the point of particular interest to me on this tour). Only the day before the tour, at 10:00 PM, I received the guide's number, which I was supposed to call. In the end, the meeting was scheduled for 11:00 AM. At the appointed time, I met the group and the guide. The guide, Susie, was a lovely woman; she clearly stated the return time throughout and doubled it several times. Entrance tickets were included in the price, so I didn't pay anything extra. The program is very packed, but I don't understand why there isn't something similar from Chiang Rai. The places are magnificent. I was very pleased with the tour. Many vivid impressions, and the group was pleasant. As for improvements, I would add more history about the places visited. Personally, I thought it wasn't enough.

Great trip, kind and helpful guide plus driver, and the itinerary was full but not too short at each destination.
Reviews: CHIANG RAI White, Blue Temple and Black House with KAREN Long Neck Tribe Tour
Guest User2025-09-08
The tour was substantial and very good. It was a shared ride with a group of people with slightly different plans, and I was the only one on the long-necked tribe tour. I was looking forward to this place the most, but it ended up being the second one instead of the last one on the itinerary. The planned stay was about 40 minutes, but we only spent a quick tour of the village, less than 10 minutes. I wish we had been able to buy souvenirs and take more photos with the villagers. We had plenty of time at the other temples, so I wish they'd been more considerate in the time allocation. The hotel was scheduled to arrive around 5 PM, but we ended up arriving around 7 PM. Both the guide and the driver were very kind.

We have a full day trip and all  of us, young and old enjoyed every aspect of our tour. The elephant rides were a highlight.  Driver came punctually and drove us everywhere.  Thank you.
