Full description

This is a 12-hour experience from Chiang Mai, built around Mae Kachan Hot Spring, Wat Rong Khun and Wat Rong Suea Ten. It is run by CanalTour x ExploreSiam, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers tour guide, Pick up and drop off from hotel, Air-conditioned vehicle, One bottle of drinking water per person and Elevator fee at Wat Huay Pla Kang. It does not cover Meals, Entrance fee at Wat Rong Khun THB 200.00 per person and Entrance fee - Entrance fee for Long-neck village THB, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Tha Phae Gate. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with CanalTour x ExploreSiam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Shoulders and knees covered, for men and women, and no ripped jeans, vest tops or leggings; the Grand Palace turns people away at the gate and hires out sarongs. Shoes come off in every building with a Buddha image, so slip-ons save time. Sit with your feet pointing away from the Buddha and do not climb on any statue for a photo.
