The weak point was to spend so much time on the van traveling.”

The sights were incredible, the waterfall, twin pagodas and gardens. Karen's village was also extremely insightful and sampled some great coffee there.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 129 reviews · 13 hours · from $24Best value

Small-group Chiang Rai temples and hot springs from Chiang Mai: White, Blue and more, photo stops, lunch options, hotel pickup.

“From the outset, the transport was completely unsuitable. The bus was extremely cramped, with no air conditioning. My partner is currently recovering from a broken leg and had absolutely no space or support during the journey. The entire trip was uncomfortably hot, overcrowded, and caused significant discomfort. The buffet lunch was equally unacceptable. The venue was overcrowded, food was either stone cold, not heated properly, or had completely run out. As a result, I was unable to eat anything at all. When raising this with the tour guide, they were unhelpful and showed little concern. We were also disappointed with what was described as a “snack,” which consisted only of…”

“I don't want to write a bad review because everything was delivered as promised and it worked out well.

“Really enjoyed the tour by Mr K! I give 10 stars. Mr K was incredibly kind and thoughtful. He helped us take photos and videos at all the attractions. And while others were doing activities I didn’t sign up for, I was even treated me to coffee and cake at a beautiful café. I really appreciated that gesture. Honestly, the café itself could be an attraction on its own, just relaxing by the riverside was such a lovely experience.”
