    It was an excellent trip, very informative, and our guide Duey was very knowledgeable and caring. The White Temple is a magnificent site and the Golden Triangle is a must see when visiting Thailand! The Opium Museum was pretty amazing as well. Plus, cruising down the Meekong River was an awesome adventure!

    We really enjoyed this tour, guided by a kind and knowledgeable tour guide and an experienced driver! We enjoyed the lunch and all activities, especially the Golden Triangle + Opium museum. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone! Make sure to catch enough sleep the night before though, you will probably be exhausted by the end of this trip ;)

    Trip from Chaing Mai to Golden Triangle and White Temple. A long day but really brilliant. Our driver was skillful and never once did I feel uncomfortable. I felt I could trust him. Our guide was one of the nicest people I have met. Very knowledgeable and quick witted. He both educated me and made me laugh at the same time. Excellent english and a keen interest in various languages. If he had one failing it was his addiction to coffee! I'm really grateful that on the day I was in the hands of two such capable men and will treasure our smetimes comic conversations.
