Kick off the day with a hefty breakfast, as our first stop will be the new and striking Wat Rong Suea Ten, also known as Blue Temple. Discover the marvellous paintings with a style similar to that of the famous White Temple, as the architect of which trained here for years. To soak in the local culture, follow your guide to the village of Akha, an ethnic group known for its colorful costumes and the surrounding picturesque tea plantations. Continuing to the spectacular and contemporary White Temple (Wat Rong Kun in Thai) on the outskirts of Chiang Rai, witness white represent the purity and wisdom of Buddhism in sublime beauty and serenity. This bizarre-looking temple is the brainchild of Chiang Rai’s famous artist and painter Chalermchai Kositpipat. Unlike most Thai temples, the building is all white with glass and mirrors embedded into the outside to make it sparkle in the sunlight. Keep your cameras at the ready because this temple is truly insta-worthy! This hilly, forested area also holds serene landscape views, winding rivers and is home to the best elephant sanctuaries in Thailand! Spend the evening in Chiang Rai, resting up at our luxurious 4-star hotel before a big day ahead.

Suree was an excellent tour guide – a friendly, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Having traveled the world on many tours, she is in the top tier that I have encountered. Numerous times, she went out of her way to ensure we fully enjoyed the Thailand experiences. I would recommend her “specifically” to any of my friends coming to Thailand.

While the tour was great, what made it great truly was our tour guide, Suree. Her authenticity, true kindness, and warmth made the trip most memorable. Patient and good-natured, she was also knowledgeable, and had great empathy. I will always remember the tour because of her.
P.S. And we had a magnificent bus driver with great driving skills. He always cared for and tended to our comfort. Some parts of the route were challenging, but he navigated them with skill, and our overall experience exceeded expectations. Sometimes, unexpected events occur, but he handled them well.

Boom and our driver were fantastic! Both were friendly, flexible with the itinerary and knowledgeable about the different cities and sights. Due to it being a more intimate tour(only 2 of us!), Boom was able to add in a few more stops for us to visit, which we loved. She was very friendly and caring, ensuring we were okay. Overall, a wonderful trip with Boom and our driver. A huge thank you to the both of them!
