Chiang Rai Private customizable Trip with English speaking driver

Hiking in Nature to Waterfall & Villages with POPPY

Did a 1 day Hiking Trip to the Villages with Poppy as our Guide and Naret as our driver and experienced so much nature and trekking to a waterfall, see some tea and corn plantations and rice paddy fields along the way. A cute village dog decided to follow us during our entire hike. We had a lovely lunch at a village featuring fresh bamboo shoots, green curry cooked in bamboo and also fluffy steamed/grilled egg also in bamboo casing. The mountain rice was different and fragrant. It was such a lovely northern style meal. Poppy carved walking sticks for all of us with a parang knife so that it was easier for the hike especially in some tricky parts. He also made a Robin Hood hat out of banana leaves! At the end of our hike we also stopped at a hot springs and we took a dip to soothe our muscles after so much walking. This special hike felt non-touristy and very immersive forest bathing. Highly recommended! Pack some water, sunblock/sun hat and mosquito repellent.

Chiang Mai: Chiang Rai White, Blue and Red Temples and KarenTribe

No.1 in Thailand

Spectacular, seamless, and absolutely worth the long ride. We did the Chiang Rai Temples Day Trip from Chiang Mai and were impressed from start to finish. Check-in at the Burger King by Thapae Gate was smooth at 7:00 a.m., and the air-conditioned coach was comfortable for the journey. Our guide kept the bus time engaging with clear explanations in both English and Spanish, sharing history, temple etiquette, and practical tips so we always knew what was next. The route is excellent: a short stretch stop at Mae Kachan Hot Springs, then on to the show-stopping White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)—a modern masterpiece where every detail is photo-worthy—followed by the serene, vividly painted Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten). We also loved Hauy Pla Kang (Big Buddha) with its striking nine-tiered pagoda and sweeping views. Entrance fees and lunch were included and handled efficiently, so we could focus on exploring. There’s also an optional visit to the Long Neck village (300 THB extra); the guide explained it transparently and respectfully so guests could decide for themselves. Organization was top-notch, timings were well managed, and we never felt rushed at the key stops. If you’re short on days in the North, this is the perfect one-day overview of Chiang Rai’s highlights—great value, professional team, and unforgettable temples. Highly recommend Monkey Travel Asia!
