First, the guide was great. I give her a lot of credit. Maggie was smart and helpful and answered all questions. We were the only ones on the tour. There was nothing that let us know there would be so much time spent driving. I'm not an expert on Thai geography, it was our first trip. We were rushed in and out of the White Temple, we were taken to a village but was actually a tourist trap with people selling the same trinkets you find everywhere. There was one house that we peeked in. We were offered entry into the long neck women village aka human zoo, for 500 baht each. We didn't do it. We then drove, 1 1/2 hours to the golden triangle for photo ops and a quick trip through the Opium Museum which is not much of anything. We could have gone on a boat ride but that would have been another 750 baht each. Since we were the only ones on the tour and since we had a 4 1/2 hour drive back to Chiang Mai we chose to get back to our hotel. Not worth this trip. In hindsight I would hire a driver or rent a car and visit the White Temple.

Excellent experience with a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. There were only three of us so it was almost a private tour. Everything was worth the time... from the hot springs, the white temple, opium museum, seeing the three countries at once, the hill tribes and long neck women, as well as a the relaxing lunch. Driver and guide took great care of us: cold water, rest stops and explaining everything. When the guide can answer our questions besides the main information they plan to tell everyone you get your money's worth.

This is a very long tour. Our tour guide was not very informative and didn't really answer our questions. The "hot springs" is in a parking lot and did not seem sanitary. The white temple and the opium museum were worthy parts of the tour. But the drive to and back from the border took 5 hours each way. I would not recommend this tour. The "Golden Triangle", the border with Laos and Myanmar is interesting, but only for about 10 minutes. Then you realize you drove 5 hours to get there. The lunch was the worst food I had on the vacation. It was especially disappointing because I am a big fan of and love Burmese food. It was an old, sad buffet populated entirely by large tour groups. Waste of a day. We were the only ones on our tour. It probably would have been improved by a better tour guide, but it would still have been a very long driving day.

The trip was long, but understandably so. I thought going the distance to see the Golden Triangle and northern Thailand was worthwhile. The drive through the farmland and rice paddies was truly beautiful, but I love seeing how people live and scenery. The stop at the tribal village was interesting---again being somewhat a sociologist I was interested in seeing how people live. But I was also saddened that these women are forced to make their living in this manner and are refugees from their own countries with many family members being in refugee camps. I think this is a group that will disappear in the future and whose traditions and culture will disappear to the museums. I am glad we had the opportunity to meet them and buy some of their products. Our guide Oi was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and entertaining.

A very nice trip. Enjoyed the small group and in a very nice van. Maggie our guide was very good. A little rushed at times, but ok. Nice to see the Silver Palace, and Golden Triangle. Bring your passport so you can ride the boat over to Laos. Recommend for a nice day trip.

Floating market was awesome. The only thing is the time on the boat was too short. Soooo much to see and buy. The Golden Triangle is where the 3 countries meet. Pretty cool to see. The highlight was the Karen Tribe Long Neck. Super. It really was out of Nat Geo. Bring Thai . You'll want to buy their hand woven scarves and beautiful items.Probably my favorite place on my trip to Thailand. The White Temple is gorgeous. Quite a spectacle. Almost amusement park feel to it. Gorgeous grounds.
