Chiang Mai: Chiang Rai Temples, Karen Tribe and Hot Springs

1.Chiang Rai Temples, Karen Tribe and Hot Springs

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,401 reviews · 11 hours - 810 minutes · from $35Our pick

See Chiang Rai’s White, Blue and Hauyplakang temples, Karen village and hot springs on a long, good-value day trip from Chiang Mai.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip despite it being a proper 12 hour trip. The guide, Alex was such a funny guy and he taught us some basic Thai phrases we could use. I liked listening to him share some personal stories of his and in all honesty, he seems like a wise man. All his stories had a lesson to it. It felt like he was imparting wisdom to the tourists. The highlight would be me visiting the hill tribes people to learn how they live their lives.”

Visit Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, and Light Temples on a guided day tour from Chiang Mai, with transport, entry fees, and practical travel tips.

“On time collecting us from the hotel, our guide Sunny was very nice and informative, she very much knew her stuff. We felt we could have done with ever so slightly more time at the blue temple say 20 mins and maybe the same amount of time less at the white. Having said that, would recommend this tour. The long drive was broken up well with a toilet facility considered. Would recommend this day trip.”

“Our tour was amazing, our tour guide Chatsuda was great and explained the history of the temples and was really friendly and answered any questions we had. It was great to experience some traditions at Doi Suthep like listening to the monks chants and doing the candle lighting and flower and food offerings. All 3 temples were stunning and it was breath taking seeing the sunrise at Doi Suthep. The views were spectacular. Everything ran smoothly and was on time, the minivan was comfortable and our driver drove safely and smooth. Would highly recommend this tour, it is definitely worth the early morning alarm!”

“Not so spiritual but reflective, maybe. Unique take on the Buddhist precepts for monks, nuns and lay persons. The host Blue is entertaining and funny but sometimes the accent is very hard to understand for Westerners (we have 3 French & 2 Americans in the group) so he has to repeat himself quite a few times”
