Wow!!

Published on Oct, 2023

This was a huge day. It was a lot of travel which we knew going into it. The hot springs we soooooo hot ( I get it) some of the hottest I have experienced. Chiang Rai was spectacular. I learned so much about Buddhism and Hinduism. The pictures don't really capture how huge it is. And beautiful. Our guide was so lovely and sweet. Very knowledgeable and patient with all our questions - he was a wealth of knowledge. The black house was really cool. We spend the last part of the afternoon at the Golden triangle. We visited a 1000 yo Buddha which was so peaceful. We took a private boat ride on the Mekong River. It was a great day.

Excellent experience with a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. There were only three of us so it was almost a private tour. Everything was worth the time... from the hot springs, the white temple, opium museum, seeing the three countries at once, the hill tribes and long neck women, as well as a the relaxing lunch. Driver and guide took great care of us: cold water, rest stops and explaining everything. When the guide can answer our questions besides the main information they plan to tell everyone you get your money's worth.

Long day but worth it.

Despite the long drive this was worth the trip and we even managed to take a boat to Laos for an hour.

This is a very long drive, 12 hours...

Published on Feb, 2018

This is a very long drive, 12 hours in all. The hot springs, if you have ever been to one, is nothing to write about. Then we stopped at the White Temple. That is a must see. Spectacular. Not a holy temple but the architecture is so beautiful. Then we had lunch and then the Golden Triangle. Very nice view to photograph but that is all. Not worth the 12 hour drive. We also visited the Opium Museum. Very interesting. Then we were offered for a little more money to see the Karen tribe of the long Neck Women. That was the highlight of our trip. We found it fascinating. We were allowed to photograph the women and I was even invited to try on a mock up of a half coil around my neck. What a great picture that made. The tour is well organized. Our guide, Pong, was nice but hardly offered any information. I would think that she could have pointed out some points of interest along the way up making the trip more acceptable, even fun. I would certainly contact Viator to organize our tours on our next trip.
