Our trip to Chiang Rai with Ratana was very pleasant and interesting. In addition to the sights, Ratana's pleasant and humorous nature is worth mentioning. And not always a given: Ratana is a good and considerate driver. My wife and I can definitely recommend a trip with Ratana.Trip to Chiang Rai

This day trip to Chiang Rai with a visit to the White Temple, the Blue Temple, the museum and the delicious lunch (not included in the tour) was overwhelmingly beautiful for me. Thanks to Naphat's very competent guidance, I was able to learn a lot about the temples, Buddhism and the culture. Naphat listened to me and took my individual interests into account and adapted the tour to them. Naphat is very pleasant to deal with and I had the feeling of being taken seriously throughout the day trip. Thanks also go to the driver, who drove very carefully and got us safely through the day.
I will always be happy to book Naphat for trips like this again.
Thank you very much for the wonderful experiences.Exciting excursion with Naphat

My teenage children and I had a great day trip for Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai with Naphant. She gave us a lot of information regarding the history of the area and then was very flexible in our itinerary for the day. We were able to add on an additional stop to see the Black House Museum in addition to the various temples that were included in the trip. I would highly recommend Naphant.Great tour of Chiang Rai

She took us to secret spots and we had a sneak peek in to the lives of locals, which added a lot of depth to our journey.
She felt like an auntie to us. Thank you Ratana! 🙏Best Tour Guide

Ratana took my wife and I to Chiang Rai to see the white and blue temples. While it takes 3 hours to get there from Chiang Mai it was totally worth it. Ratana did a great job driving us through the mountains to get there. She took us to some great spots where the big tours won't take you. I would highly recommend this tour and Ratana as your guide!What an awesome trip!

Boy was an exceptional guide on our “City Discovery: Chiang Rai Day” tour! We learned so much during the drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, and his deep knowledge of the Blue and White Temples was incredible. He took the time to explain Thai culture and traditions, making the experience truly enriching. Friendly and easygoing, Boy made the day unforgettable. He’s our go-to guide for future trips!Wuthikorn (Boy) is the guide for you!

My mom and I went on the Chiang Rai day tour with Naphat. She was very knowledgeable and outgoing, sharing the history, architectural significance, and culture of our sites as well as her daily local life and her experience as a Buddhist nun. Naphat also gave us a background in Buddhist teachings and philosophy and spirituality, and I learned a lot!
Even though the tour originally included just the White Temple and Blue Temple, Naphat was flexible and let us squeeze in the Black House, Guan Yin Statue, and the Clock Tower (while driving past the Night bazaar), albeit for an extra fee. Our day was jam-packed, but we were able to do everything before sunset! On the way back to Chiang Mai, Naphat let the driver stop at a backpack store so I could buy a new bag, and then dropped us off at our next stop, the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar.
Overall, this was a fantastic day and great learning experience, and the tour was flexible enough to fit our needs. I highly recommend booking Naphat for your Thailand tours, especially if you want to learn about Buddhism and spirituality!Enlightening & Excellent Experience

The day that my mom and I had with Naphat was nothing short of amazing. Everything was absolutely seamless, from drop off to pick up she was very extremely helpful.
The level of knowledge and insight Naphat has on Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Thailand history is expansive; it felt as though we were living a Discovery Channel special. To be able to be fully immersed in the culture the history and the people was more than we could've ever dreamed of.
We enjoyed every moment of this tour and can not wait to come back and experience other things as Naphat as our guide. Thank you so much for this opportunity, we will never forget it.Amazing is an understatment

Voyageant en couple 3 semaines en Thaïlande cette année, ma copine voulait absolument visiter le temple blanc et le temple bleu. C'est dans cette optique que nous avons choisi de faire un crochet sur Chiang Mai après avoir passé 2 semaines sur les îles au sud.
J'avais personnellement déjà visité ces temples 7 ans plus tôt lors d'un voyage en solitaire, donc je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose, sachant que je déteste passer des heures en voiture.
N'étant pas motorisés, nous avions donc le choix entre les tours basiques, via car, avec plus d'une dizaine de personnes, ou bien ce tour là, plus intimiste. Je savais que je serais fatigué après deux semaines de vadrouille, donc on a choisi de payer le coût et de voir ce que ca donnerait.
Et bien nous n'avons pas été déçus !
Boy est arrivé à 9h à notre hôtel, et nous sommes directement partis pour une longue journée... passée très vite.
L'aller est passé en un éclair. Boy maîtrisant l'anglais, il a été très facile de discuter pendant tout le trajet, sur ce qu'on faisait là, nos expériences précédente, la culture thaïlandaise... Bref, de tout et de rien !
Sur site, Boy connaissait les meilleurs spots pour photos, une myriade d'anecdotes, me faisant complètement redécouvrir ces temples que j'avais pourtant déjà visité par le passé.
Nous avons même eu la très bonne surprise d'être amené à un autre endroit que nous voulions faire de manière totalement inattendu, rendant la journée encore plus chargée en souvenirs (et photos pour le coup !) Je ne dirai pas ce que c'est, mais je vous promets que vous ne le regretterez pas (S'il vous propose de prendre une pause déjeuner entre les deux temples, dites absolument oui, vous me remercierez plus tard.)
En somme, nous recommandons tous deux ce tour, mais surtout le guide ! Nous reviendrons passer plus de temps à Chiang Mai l'année prochaine, et je sais déjà que nous nous organiserons pour embaucher Boy une nouvelle fois. Pour quoi faire, je ne sais pas encore, mais c'est une certitude !
Merci encore pour cette journée Boy !Une merveilleuse journée

She was prompt, knowledgeable, communicated well, answered all of our questions, was flexible when we requested a change and was very kind. The transportation was comfortable and clean as well.

My husband and I were extremely pleased with how professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable Minty was. We flew into Chiang Mai only for this day tour and she picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. She came prepared with snacks and water for the drive to Chiang Rai and provided us with a lot of information about the locals, history, and even took us to the best Curry Noodle place I’ve ever been to. She was great company and assisted us with photos, translating when we needed assistance, and gave us very useful guidance before entering the temples. We absolutely loved our day with Minty and we highly recommend this tour.Great Day and a Must Do

Overall we had a good visit to Chiang Rai with regards to seeing the sights. We saw all the hotspots including the hot springs, White and Blue Temples and the Black House. Also had an authentic meal at a roadside restaurant.
Minty was informative regarding Buddhist history and the significance of the temples to the local culture. However, she was not as interactive as many other tour guides we have experienced before and with 6.5 hours of driving there was ample opportunity for her to tell us more about the Chiang Rai region and its people. At times we felt that we had to pry information out of her. She also made a strange comment as we approached a police checkpoint: she requested that if asked by the police who we were, to tell them that we were all friends in the vehicle. We felt uncomfortable with this and actually made us question her legitimacy as an accredited tour guide. In fact we are now questioning whether we had any insurance coverage etc as we have had for other tours we did in Thailand.
Unfortunately the driver was inattentive at times. The parking brake was not engaged while we were exiting the van at the Black House and we had to prevent our two young children from falling out of the rolling van. When leaving the Black House he ran the front of the van into a concrete foundation leading to a crack in the front of the van while we were still 3 hours away from our hotel.

Unsere Guide Ae war ein absoluter Volltreffer. Sie hat sich bestens auf unsere Bedürfnisse eingestellt und eine ganz individuelle und kurzweilige Tour nach Chiang Rai organisiert. Sie ist sehr kommunikativ und lustig und es macht großen Spaß, mit ihr unterwegs zu sein. Sie hat ein sehr gutes Allroundwissen und kann sich sehr gut auf ihre Kunden einstellen. Wir hatten z.B. den Wunsch ganz authentische Thai Küche kennenzulernen und haben von ihr jeweils zu Mittag und Abend ein traditionell thailändisches Restaurant besucht, wo man als Farang weder die Speisekarte noch die Bedienung versteht. Wir sind extrem happy mit unserem Ausflug gewesen!Volltreffer

Minty was a fabulous guide. She played great music on our drive, added fantastic touches to our day, like stopping at a hot spring, visiting a monk, and taking us to lunch where we had the most incredible meal. The blue temple, black house, and white temple are must-sees, but having Minty there to tell us many historical facts and interesting stories, made the day a real experience. She thoughtfully took our photos and even gave us tips for Chiang Mai, where we were staying. We continued on the rest of our trip and we still talk about our day with Minty. Don’t hesitate to book!Wonderful day!

My partner and I did the Chiang Rai tour with Wuthikorn (aka Boy) and had a great time. Boy worked hard to make sure we had a good time and was good at explaining what we saw and responding to our questions. He also dropped us off at our Chuang Rai accommodation, which was an added benefit at no additional cost. You should have no doubts in booking a trip with Boy, plus he is a funny guy.
The highlight for me was seeing the White Temple, which was an amazing sight to see. Trip with Boy to Chiang Rai

The daytrip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai is definitely worth it. It takes minimum 10 hours to see the Hot Springs, the Blue Temple, the Black House, the White Temple and the Temple of the 1000 Buddhas.
It was breathtaking, we never so something similar before and are still flashed.
Minty is a very experienced tourguide and took us to the places in another order than all the others do. Therefore it was not so crowded at the spots and we had time and space to make beautiful pixtures and saw also small things, that Minty explained to us.
Furthermore, she is a safe driver and had an excellent playlist :)
Thank you, Minty, and good luck!

Aei it was a pleasure spending the day with you.
We changed our minds on the day about what we wanted to do and Aei was so accommodating suggesting many excellent experiences to give us a full introduction to the many splendours of Chiang Mai. Her knowledge of Chiang Mai is second to none, pointing out many interesting details to us throughout the day.
We were fed and watered well and delighted in tasting the local cuisine in the markets and restaurant.
And a special thank you for running with Kev to the top of the waterfall, he was grateful of the exercise 😉
I can totally recommend Aei to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.Fabulous introduction to Chiang Mai

Our trip to Chiang Rai with Naphat was really great. We originally only planned to visit the white & blue temple, but she spontaneously arranged for us to visit the black house as well (recommended as all 3 fit together). When visiting the temples, she explained the deeper meanings of all sculptures and paintings, which really helped us to understand the culture and get some context. On the way, we had some great conversations about Thai life and the mindset of the regular people. This was a really interesting perspective to get a broader picture of the country.A great insight into Buddhism & Thai life

Wir können uns nur für einen tollen Trip bei Wuthikorn bedanken. Er hat uns so viel gezeigt und erklärt, es war total interessant und man hatte trotzdem nicht das Gefühl mit Informationen überladen zu werden. Auch wenn es auf der Tour einige Stopps gab fühlte man sich zeitlich nie gedrängt. Wir konnten alles in unserem Tempo machen. Das lokale Essen vor Ort war auch eine super Wahl unseres Guides. Vielen Dank. Wir würden immer wieder eine Tour mit ihm buchen. 👍Ein perfekter Ausflug ☺️

We took a day trip to Chiang Rai with Minty. She was very professional and played music for us during the long drive there. I almost wish we could have started the day earlier as it is about a 3 hour drive to get there so we could have enjoyed more time in Chiang Rai. However, Minty was a great guide and know where to go as well as a great lunch spot. She is a great photographer as well and was great at letting us explore independently as needed, but was always available to answer any questions. Would recommend!Fantastic experience

She stopped and made sure we could try the local mango and pineapple and even surprised us with ice cream waiting for us when we finished with our last stop. She is extremely knowledgeable about Thailand and Thai culture and had snippets of information about every topic we asked her. It was a long ride all the way to Chiang Rai, but she made it fun and comfortable the whole way. Chiang Rai excursion

Myself and my two sons went with Minty to Chiang Rai from Chiang Rai for a day trip. It was a long day but soooo worth it. We went to the Wat Rong Khun (white temple), Wat Rong Suea Ten (blue temple) and Baan Dam (black house) which is more an art museum within a house and ground. I had thought we could miss Baan Dam but it was very interesting and glad we went. Two other highlights were lunch at a divine tea plantation and afternoon tea at a little cafe in the middle of a rice paddy. You would never have been able to do all this without a great local guide and Minty was that. Thoughtful, informative but also gave space when needed. Thank you so much. What a great day!

He was very considerate of our interests and made sure each tour was designed to suit. He was a great driver, good organiser and made everything run smoothly. He was also very generous with his time, making sure that he showed us everything he thought would be of interest. We are happy to recommend him and would certainly use him again.

We couldn't ask for a better tour guide than Naphat. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of her country and had so much to tell us about it. She explained clearly and thoughtfully with an obvious passion for Chiang Rai. This combined with her love and understanding of spirituality and mindfulness made for an amazing experience.
Naphat's love of travel shines through in everything she does. You know you're in good hands and can relax, listen and learn.
The Tom Kaa Gai we had for lunch was better than any other we had in Thailand.
We highly recommend Naphat and hope to see her again one day. Incredible Chiang Rai

If you have a free day and are in Chiang Mai..book this tour!!! Our guide, Boy, was so awesome!! He was social, funny, and very knowledgeable of all the temples and history for them! We did not want to see the black temple museum so instead he suggested the Chinese temple and it was so worth it! It's a 2.5 hour ride from Chiang mai to the first temple so be prepared. Boy made sure to give us bathroom and coffee breaks whenever we asked. He also is a big foodie so he has great recommendations for food depending on where you are staying. The pictures will never do justice the beauty in these temples and Boy made it a wonderful trip that we will always remember!A must-see experience!!!

Minty was very knowledgeable about the black, blue and white temples and it was fascinating to hear each one's history. Minty was also able to help me out with my technical ignorance at the black temple.

we are 3 people from spain, when we arrived in chiang mai we were looking at many one day tours to go to chiang mai to the temples (including those from the 5 star hotel) and for price and especially for the explanation in the kindness of the guide these one nailed.
it's a personalized tour, don't waste your time with nonsense and go to work.... the taxi is very comfortable, stops where you want to take photos, and the guide tour is really professional, 100% involved in customer needs.

My daughter and I booked a day trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai with Minty. We chose her based on the the reviews that others had posted. She was very flexibly in listening to our interests and then adjusting our itinerary based on those interests. On visited a hot springs, the White Temple, the Blue Temple and the Black House. On the way back, we stopped by the Karen hill tribes and had a chance to chat with the Karen "long-neck". It was a wonderful day. We do not usually seek out temples to visit, but the White Temple and the Blue Temple are stunning, unlike any temples we have seen previously. Minty was very attentive to us, spoke good English, and was able to answer most any question we asked. We highly recommend her as a local guide.Day trip to Chiang Rai

She gave a lot of information in our time together, but was well paced to ensure everything was taken in. She contacted me immediately after booking and was very attentive to my requests.
