    The tour was quite great even if the ride is very long. Would have love to spend more time in Chiang Rai, but it is impossible because of riding time. Koi our guide for the day was really nice, she was present to provide informations if wanted but let us have free time to go around by our own on the different temples. I recommand this tour !

    Truly wonderful experience with our dear and very nice guide Cookie, who was also extremely kind by taking several photos of us. Both the blue temple and the white temple are truly magical places that I recommend everyone to go and visit. The lunch that was offered to us was a buffet and was worth much more than the price we paid. Thanks and we hope to see you again one day. Pupi.
