Tour Details
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai at the indicated time and make our way toward the charming north of Thailand. After a 3-hour journey, we'll make a brief stop at the Thaweesin Chiang Rai hot springs. Here, we'll take advantage and stretch our legs, and if we're lucky, we'll also see the geyser spout water—a unique natural phenomenon.
After another short journey, we'll arrive at the spectacular Wat Rong Khun (White Temple). This pristine whitewashed building will leave you in awe as soon as you spot it! The temple's majestic architecture has several sculptures that decorate its entrance.
From here, we'll get back into the vehicle and head to our next stop, the Golden Ganesha Shrine. Here, we'll admire its stunning golden exterior and capture incredible photos of the mesmerizing architecture. Then, it'll be time to refuel with a traditional buffet-style Thai lunch, featuring classic Thai dishes.
With newfound energy, we'll visit the famous Wat Huay Pla Kang Temple to see the White Guanyin Statue. We'll also see the well-known Great Buddha of Chiang Rai, perched on a hilltop overlooking the northern side of the city.
Next up, we'll hop back into our vehicle and visit the Lalitta Café waterfall. This lush green space is full of blooming orchids and towering trees, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful moment in nature.
Then, we'll give you the option to enjoy a visit to the famous Longneck Village. If you opt for this 30 to 40-minute visit, we'll stop at the traditional village where women decorate themselves with golden rings around their neck—a unique experience.
Up next, we'll head to our final stop of the day, the Blue Temple. Another gem of Chiang Rai, this temple stuns visitors with its intricate architecture and vibrant blue exterior. Have your camera ready!
Finally, we'll begin our return journey back to the starting point, where we'll drop you off at your hotel 12 hours after the start. If you prefer, we can also leave you in Chiang Rai so you can continue your journey from here.
