Chiang Rai temples from Chiang Mai in one day: Mae Kachan hot springs, Karen long-neck village, White and Blue Temples, and Huay Pla Kang.
“You can visit many places in a short period of time. The guide was super nice and informative. I enjoyed the tour.”
See Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Red Temples, pause at Mae Khachan hot springs, visit Lalitta Cafe, with optional Karen village.
“We started at the longneck village which was kind of just looking around a market. The people there were very happy to have pictures taken with them though. The hot springs was next which were pretty cool, like Wells that exploded with hot water every couple of seconds. The white temple was stunning and had plenty of information around to explain pieces aswell as two art galleries. The inside of the white temple was very surprising but spectacular. The blue temple was smaller in comparison but still very detailed and cool. The red temple we got a lift up to the Buddha then hopped into the lift to get all…”

“I templi di Chiang Rai da vedere, sosta al café Lalitta inaspettata perché non era menzionata nel programma però gradita.”
Full-day Chiang Rai temples and hot springs from Chiang Mai, with a small-group van, photo stops, and package choices for lunch and sights.
“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…”
Full-day Chiang Rai temples tour from Chiang Mai with a quick hot spring stop, plus White Temple, Blue Temple, and Big Buddha views.
“This was a long day however the temples are totally worth it. Our guide Goi was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the temples as welll as explaining about Buddhism in general. The pictures you see of the white temple do not do it justice. You have to see it for yourself. Highly recommend this tour.”

“Quick booking and responses via viator were greatly appreciated. This spa was beautiful and very clean. Apple was great! My husband and I were able to get our massage in the same treatment room which was greatly appreciated. Make sure you arrive early to enjoy the welcome tea.”
Full-day Chiang Rai tour from Chiang Mai: White, Blue, Black House temples plus Mae Khachan hot springs, hotel pickup and Thai lunch.
“The food wasn't very good. For the hot springs, the activity takes place in a parking lot with two wells where locals cook their eggs. There are shops all around. It felt like being at a motorway service station. The temples are pretty, but the white one is an attraction with representations of good and evil. Marvels are classified as evil.”
