Excellent trip.. the white temple was incredible well worth it. Boon was so funny and just a lovely person
Amazing experience in Chian Rai! I have no words to describe the amazing temples that we saw and how the amazing guide explained everything for us. Even the transportation was super comfortable even though it was 3h trip from Chiang Mai. I recomend this excursion 5000%.
