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 Joinusthai, 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 Round-trip hotel transfers within the downtown area, Entrance fees, Lunch, Bottled water and guide. It does not cover Personal expenses, Gratuities, Long Neck Village entrance, 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.
Hotel pickup in Chiang Mai. Joinusthai confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Joinusthai before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Super excursion. La guide était exeptionnelle. Nous avons eu le temps suffisant dans chaque arrêt pour profiter sans être pressés. Le mimi bus et le chauffeur étaient très bien.
Très bonne excursion, super bien organisée du début à la fin. L’agence appelle la veille pour confirmer la réservation et l’heure de prise en charge à l’hôtel. Le temps de visite sur chaque temple est largement suffisant pour profiter sans se presser, et les explications du guide sont intéressantes. Le déjeuner est un buffet thaï très bien👌
Zaczęło się od nie małych problemów. Ponieważ staliśmy 45 minut pod hotelem, czekając na kierowcę. A po prawie godzinie okazało się,że doszło do nie małej pomyłki i dwie inne osoby z naszego hotelu pojechały zamiast nas. Mimo że przewodnik pytał czy to napewno ich wycieczka. Na szczęście udało się to rozwiązać i my pojechaliśmy innym busem i zamieniliśmy się z winowajcami na odpowiedni już transport na stacji paliw
Although this is a long day the tour was very good. Our guide, Krit was great. He had a lot of information and some questions if he did not have the answer he looked for it. The white temple is the most impressive. They do not provide enough time to really enjoy this. An additional 30-45 minutes here is really needed. The last temple also a bit of extra time would be appreciated as we did not have time to go to the store. Overall we really enjoyed the tour even though we did feel rushed on occasion which is also somewhat understandable due to the already long tour time. Our chofer was an excel
Heads up - the temples are not place of Buddhism worship. They only use the term “temple” to attract tourists. The temples are beautiful, but they rather showcase Buddhism religion through architecture. If you plan on seeing monks - this is not the tour to take. Also I’m not sure how to feel about the Long Neck village. It felt like a human zoo. I would like to think that the entry fee also goes directly to the women from the “village” and I would also like to think that those women stay in the village not against their will. Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable! The overall tour see
The trip is not worth doing. The “temples” are not ones that Thai people worship at. They are made for tourists. It’s a bit like Disneyland, quite fake. And it is just too far to go (3.5 hours each way) for fake temples. Stay in Chiang Mai and walk around the old city, there are beautiful, real temples on almost every block. The guide was fine, but didn’t give too much info, but can you really say about fake tourist attractions. The drive is partly on a very winding road, not fun. Lunch was good.
É uma viagem cansativa, andamos sempre a correr mas houve o cuidado de nos ouvirem para proporcionar o melhor. O condutor conduzia muito rápido mas pedimos para abrandar e correu melhor.
It could be a better explanation about the temples history and other historical events
L’excursion à Chiang Rai a été exceptionnelle ! Notre guide était extrêmement gentille, à l’écoute et très professionnelle. Elle a pris le temps d’expliquer chaque étape de la visite avec beaucoup de clarté et de passion, ce qui a rendu l’expérience très enrichissante. J’ai particulièrement apprécié son attitude avenante et sa personnalité chaleureuse qui ont vraiment contribué à rendre cette journée mémorable. Je recommande vivement cette excursion !
다른 고객보다 비싸게 지불했고요, 설명이 인터넷을 통해 익히 아는 지극히 간단한 것이였어요. 운전과 고객 챙기는 것은 확실하게 잘했어요.
Visite des temples bien organisée, on avait du temps sur place pour profiter de chacun d'entre eux. Le blanc, le bleu et le rouge, chacun vaut le détour ! Bon buffet déjeuner du midi (copieux et goûtu). Par contre des pauses WC trop longues, où on est arrêté sur des aires où tout coûte beaucoup trop cher. Il vaudrait mieux mettre ce temps dans le spot des sources d'eau chaude, qui se fait trop rapidement.
La guía y el conductor han sido muy amables
