Excellent day ! Our guide Mrs Pookie was adorable and rich in anecdotes about the country as well as its habits and customs. Although the day is long (more than 6 hours of road in total), the number of activities and their quality are worth it especially as well accompanied. If you have a day to fill, don't hesitate!

Ms. Bee showed us the highlight of Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle in a very lively, funny and knowledgeable way. The day was just wonderful and we will always remember it. The driver drove us safely in the not always easy traffic.

It was a fantastic day! Our tour guide Nogn ( spelling could be wrong) was excellent. Was very knowledgeable and shared some great information! Very safe driver in a very good van! So glad I did it as many key sites were visited!
