  1. Karel

    Our storyteller‑in‑chief, Khun Dee, unpacked hidden Buddha imagery at each stop and even taught us to spot nagas in the temple railings. He scored iced Thai tea for everyone just as the afternoon heat hit—five‑star guiding! If you value deep cultural context on a White & Blue Temple tour, book this operator.

  2. Mason

    Every stop delivered photo gold: the pure‑white bridge of rebirth, the sapphire Buddha hall, and the dramatic elephant‑bone throne at Baan Dam. Our guide doubled as photographer, so our group shots were on point. If you crave share‑worthy pics, this White Temple & Blue Temple tour is a must. Instagram heaven

  3. Paula

    Pickup was 7 a.m. sharp; worth it to beat the crowds at the shimmering Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) and the quirky art at the Black House Museum (Baan Dam). Lunch was tasty but basic—fried rice & fruit. Bring snacks if you’re a big eater. Overall, a solid full‑day Chiang Rai temple tour.

  4. Emma

    Bring a neck pillow for the 3‑hour highway stretch; otherwise, the air‑con van is comfy enough.

  5. Rene

    I usually don’t leave reviews, but this was just not that good. You will regret it as it’s wasting your time to go that far.

  6. Lena

    the experience was smooth from start to finish communication beforehand was clear and everything went exactly as promised

  7. Victor

    we were picked up right on time and everythin was super well managed

  8. Lucia

    I went with a few friends and we all agreed it was money well spent. Very well executed and worth every baht.

  9. Markus

    one thing i really liked was that nothing felt forced everything unfolded naturally and at a comfortable pace

  10. Lea

    It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into planning the day It felt both organised and relaxed

  11. Bjorn

    from the moment we arrived, we felt welcome the pace was just right and there was a perfect balance between activity and relaxation
