Golden Triangle & Chiang Rai: Hill Tribe Cultural Quest

It was an amazing and exhilarating day with Susie our guide. Highly recommend this 12 hour experience (if you are coming from Chiang Mai).

This tour was excellent. Kong la was a brilliant guide. He was engaging and thorough, stopped for plenty of photo opportunities, and suggested short, interesting walks. When my partner fell sick during the tour, he took us to a clinic and helped us communicate with the staff. He was honestly so kind and patient--it was an excellent experience and we'd book with this tour company again in a heartbeat.

Great immersive tour with a very knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. Totally recommend for a good overview of The Golden Triangle area. Book in advance as the trip price went up dramatically the day before the trip.

Individualized attention with a busy, very full day. Sandy provided almost continuous narration and insight. Thoroughly enjoyed our 9 hour day visiting Hill Tribe Villages, tea plantation, lunch stop, Mae Sai skywalk and Golden Triangle/Opium Museum.

Really excellent trip. Well run, well paced, and very interesting. Our guide was helpful and the transport was really comfortable. Highly recommend as a great way to see a lot in a short time.

Both the tour and our guide Benja were excellent. She had a lot of knowledge regarding the places we went. She provided history , local information, translations and recommendations of ways to further our exploration of northern Thailand. Really enjoyed the Hill Tribes and Golden Triangle. We did a fast boat ride on the Mekong as an extra. Benja’s driving was safe, and her vehicle comfortable. She had a great personality and was easy to talk to about things not directly related to the tour. Highly recommend the tour and Benja (Chiangrai Big Smile Tours) in particular.

Our guide and driver took us to visit a beautiful tea plantation, a border town for shopping, lunch and a boat ride at the golden triangle, an opium museum, and tribal village. We had a great day with a friendly, accommodating guide and driver. If we did it again I would ask to spend more time at the tea plantation and tribal village, and less time at the border town.

Very personable and trustworthy guide experience. Wish he spoke More English to give more history but he did a good Job. Very organized. We saw a lot.

Sandy was the perfect guide - she was very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best time. She definitely went above and beyond.

Very educational, you pack a lot into a short little day trip! My guide was very knowledgeable. I switched my pickup location last minute and they reached out right away in the morning and fixed it. Very nice.
