We spent a great day with our guide Gift ! Although the weather was a bit moody, we enjoyed every part of the day trip and were able to discover the Chiang Rai region in a very pleasant way ! The highlights for us were the tea plantation where we had a good time discovering and sampling different kinds of tea from the region and the Doi Tung Royal Villa which was extremely interesting and beautiful. The gardens of Mae Fah Luang right below the villa are a gem to walk around. Many thanks to our guide Gift, you were truly a joy to be around !

We went on this tour with Bank and could not have asked for a better guide! He is super knowledgeable and can answer any questions about the places we go. He even gave us more suggestions for food and other local places in Chiang Rai. Every stop on the itinerary was a wonderful experience, although definitely not easy to hit every place without a guide, so I really recommend this private tour, it is well worth it!
