Unforgettable Chiang Rai: Private Temples & Cultural Gems

We had a fantastic day with Yut as our private tour guide. He showed us so many beautiful temples and educated us on the history and culture of the area and Thailand overall. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Yut and this tour.

Yut was an exceptional tour guide. He thought of everything !! he made our day in so memorable. His knowledge and information about all of the sites made everything so much better. He even took time to think of all of the little details about water and hand wipes, and everything you would want along the way. Would recommend his tour to anyone looking to explore the temples and learn more about Chiang Rai.

I had the absolute best tour of Chiang Rai with Tong! His knowledge of the history, culture, and temples made every stop so meaningful. He was incredibly kind, patient, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire day. And his photography skills? Next level — we left with some of the most beautiful photos of our trip. Could not recommend Tong more. If you’re visiting Chiang Rai, he’s the guide you want!

This was such an amazing tour. We could not have asked for a better tour guide, Tong was an excellent driver, tour guide, and photographer. It was quite a memorable day. Highly recommended!

M was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the temples and places he showed us around. Authentic food was 10/10 near the red temple. Easily the best thing we did in Chiang Mai/ Rai.

It’s a long day but worth every minute. Our guide was very attentive to our needs throughout the day and was very knowledgeable of the history related to the sites.

We had an incredible time on our private tour with Poon! He was so friendly and knowable and taught us a lot about both the meaning behind the temples and their history. He let us take our time and took lots of pictures for us. Poon also had great recommendation of things to do around Chiang Mai. Admission fee and lunch is included in the price of the tour so unless you buy souvenirs or drinks/snacks you don’t need any extra cash for the trip. There was also cold water provided for us which was great for when it started to get hot!

Excellent tour! Our tour guide’s name was “M”. We were picked up at our hotel in Chiang Mai on time at 7am. M was very professional. He had water, tissues, wet wipes and snacks available for us. He was very conscientious and wanted to make sure we were comfortable, safe and happy. We stopped on our way to Chiang Rai at a rest area that featured Hot Springs. You could soak your feet and the shop owners boiled eggs in the hot water. Then proceeded on a scenic drive thru the Thailand countryside. Beautiful, lush forest and mountains were seen in the national park. Once in Chiang Rai we toured the White, Blue, Red and Rainbow temples. The architecture, whimsical creativity and attention to detail was amazing. M shared his knowledge at each stop, answered our questions and made sure we had great photo ops. He never rushed us. It was a private tour and it was up to us how we spent our day. He also made sure we had bathroom stops. Lunch was included and we could choose a local spot or a tourist spot. We went local and M suggested what dishes to order based on our spice tolerance. Our meals were wonderful. I highly recommend this tour. These temples are so unique and something you need to see. The day is long, but worth it. I would do it again. You will not see anything like this anywhere else in the world. Just a heads up. You need to wear shoes that you can take off and put on easily. You have to remove shoes to enter temples. Women need to have their shoulders and knees covered…no exceptions. Have a great time and ask for “M” as your tour guide.

I highly recommend this tour, especially with Mr. Yut! It was an amazing experience to see Thailand's best temples, but having Mr. Yut there to explain the history behind them really elevated the entire day. He was incredibly attentive and kept us perfectly on schedule. As a huge bonus, he took so many amazing photos for us. If you want a stress free and educational tour, ask for Mr. Yut!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our private tour with Mr. Yut! From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment. His knowledge of the temples and history was impressive. he shared fascinating details that truly brought each site to life. Not only was he an excellent guide, but he was also our personal photographer, helping us capture beautiful photos throughout the day. He made sure we always had plenty of water and snacks, and his thoughtful care made the entire excursion smooth and memorable. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the stunning culture and history of the area. You can explore each temple to your pace since it is a private tour. Lunch was also included. The private tour allowed us to make the most of our time and appreciate each location without the stress, time crunch or crowds of a large group. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful, enjoyable, and hassle-free way to explore. Thank you, Mr. Yut, for making our trip memorable !
