2.Best Places in Chiang Rai White, Blue, Big Buddha, Tea Plantation

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 70 reviews

Spend a very full day traveling from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai in a van capped at 12 people. Visit the White Temple, Blue Temple, Wat Huay Pla Kang, and Singha Park, with lunch, hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, and breaks along the long drive.

“Prompt pickup, and good itinerary. I picked this due to the exclusion of the long neck tribe. My biggest complaint is once we were driving, there was a slight pressure pitch to go visit the long neck tribe. Fortunately the entire group said no. The tea plantation is really neat but only a 20 min stop for pictures and to grab a tea. No exploring or guided explanation of anything. Overall a really good day”
