I was extremely satisfied with my Chiang Rai day trip with KKday! The itinerary was packed yet fulfilling, allowing me to easily explore Chiang Rai's classic "black, white, and blue" temples in one day. The White Temple's stunning craftsmanship and the Black Temple's unique collection left a deep impression, especially the Blue Temple, which was absolutely magical when illuminated at dusk, providing perfect photo opportunities. Besides the architectural tour, the itinerary also included a cultural experience in a Long Neck Karen village and a boat trip on the Mekong River, offering a memorable view of the Thai, Myanmar, and Lao borders. Although the attractions are quite far apart, the private transportation was very comfortable, and the guide was very attentive and caring – a big thumbs up! For tourists looking to easily see all the highlights of Chiang Rai in one day, this is definitely the best value option!
The Zipline staff were lively and fun, and they spoke Chinese. The jungle roller coaster had two photo spots, but unfortunately there were no signs indicating where to take pictures. To buy photos, you could choose between Apple Pay and Google Pay, but Samsung Pay wouldn't work with either, and cash wasn't an option either, so I gave up… The A-set outfits were sold out, but they replaced them with food, coffee, and desserts. After lunch, it was a great place to relax in the cafe downstairs. I wanted to tip the Zipline staff, but I didn't know how.
I flew to southern Thailand for an overnight stay and flew AirAsia without purchasing checked baggage. It was very convenient to leave my luggage at Don Mueang Airport; the location is next to the escalator corner near Gate 9 in Terminal 2. Because I filled in the wrong number of days and quantity fields when purchasing the luggage storage service for the first time, the counter staff patiently explained. I could retrieve my luggage at the counter upon returning to Don Mueang Airport with the receipt.
Both the White Temple and the Blue Temple are beautiful. The tour guide speaks excellent Chinese and handles the itinerary very smoothly. Lunch is also delicious. Overall, it's good value for money, and there's no hard selling.
