Pick up between 7-7.30 this is a long day trip. Drove up to Chang Rai with stop at hot springs, don't put your feet in like I did, you can boil an egg in the water. White Temple, blue temple and black museum all fabulous and well worth although longer time would be good you have to run round as only got 30m at each place as nothing near each other. Stopped at Hill tribes place, they are colourful and lots of stuff to buy. Then trip on Mekong river golden triangle which was great. The only downfall was the long drive back. May be an idea to start there and work backwards so nearer to home. GuideS were good Aom was lovely, driver was very good but fast, however glad he was getting back. Only issue I had was it was a buffet lunch and salad two things my oncologist told me not to partake in so was starving. Didn't know till after I could have booked off of a menu which would have been ok if freshly cooked. So if you have medical issues take your own packed lunch or you will starve.

The islands are lovely. The jet skis so close to the shore are smelly, noisy and ruin the serenity of the islands. The speedboat and staff were great. The very long van trip to the port was not great- it would be better if you advised tourists of this in advance.

The vehicle was not at all comfortable and it was a long long drive. We did not even get enough time to see the white temple. It should have been better to avoid golden triangle viewing

Overall a nice tour. They are well organised and do a good job keeping you informed about whats happening, safety etc. Some might feel that the tour is a little rushed, but we liked that because then the trip doesn't go on forever. When snorkeling you only see coral graveyards, but the fish are still pretty and colorful. The people on the islands are a little pushy about selling you chairs/drinks/jetski rides. The tour team are sympathetic and put in a lot of effort. For me overall a nice experience!

Good visit to phi phi island phuket. It was a useful visit. The boat needs to be cleaner and more comfortable. Lot of attra tions in phi phi.

There are three main tunnels to walk through where sharks, sting rays, stone fish, grouper, clown fish, angel fish and a whole host of other fish. There is also an excellent coffee bar where get delicious smoothies or cold beers.

The whole day was bad from the start. Total of 6 and 1/2 hours travelling just for 1hr 20 min activities. Specified to booking that didn’t want to do elephant trekking only bathing/feeding elephants but then forced to stop at elephant trekking to sit in the van whilst rest of group done the trekking. Charged money for things when it says included in leaflet (it said 10 free photos and a video for rafting) Then when spoke to owner about it he just said that’s the old programme and he has made new leaflets and to take it up with who you booked it with. Didnt get back to hotel until 8pm so majority of the day is spent either travelling or sitting around. Just to top it all off me and 3 other members of my family got food poisoning from the food at rafting. Do not recommend as a huge waste of money and a day.

If you're over 25, give this one a BIG miss. A day trip chock full of pointless activities enjoyable for callow adolescents only. I mean, life jackets for snorkeling? WTF?

quad bikes were old and the period of time was very short. Zip line was good though only a 90kg limit. the best part of or day was the white water rafting for 7 klm's, the two guides that we had were fantastic.

Really appreciated this day tour to Chiang Rai! Of course it was a very long day (between 13-14 hours) - it has to be given how far Chiang Rai is from Chiang Mai. But we saw a lot, our guide was absolutely lovely, and we had a great day. Would recommend this tour if you don't have enough time to stay in Chiang Rai itself.

This is a long day if you're starting in Chiang Mai. The white wat is stunning from the outside and is the highlight of the day by far. It's been beautifully built but is very modern. There are some lovely other buildings in the grounds. The national artist has a separate section and clearly he loves himself with the amount of sculptures and pictures of himself around the place. The blue wat is also beautiful from the outside but is less impressive inside. As for the black houses, this is an interesting collection of old buildings but you can't go into most of them and it gets a bit repetitive. The main building has a lot of paintings and furniture but it won't be for everyone's taste. Not worth coming all the way from Chiang Mai if this is your only destination but if you're including other sites nearby, probably worth a 45 minute stop. I noticed a number of other reviewers commenting on the speed of the drivers. Ours clearly thought he was in a formula 1 racing car and drove in straight lines on some twisty sections of the mountain highway. That said, he was safe but if you're a nervous passenger, you might want to sit way in the back of the van.

This is a great shorter trip booked via our tour operator TUI. Definitely an eye opener with the way people live in the canals. It was a small group tour which was great with taxi drop offs and pick ups running seamlessly. Definitely recommend.

Very well organised from hotel pick up to drop off, there was even breakfast supplied which was unexpected. Instructions given in multiple languages and thankfully reef shoes for sale because the ground is covered in sharp rocks. We were on 'Team Spicy' and he was absolutely amazing...we had the best time and finished the day exhausted and with many happy memories. Thanks Spicy...you made the day even more special!

DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR! If you're late to the pick up location, you WILL be left behind. I got very lost during our stop on Phi Phi island, I had no number to call for the boat so I made every effort to get to the meeting spot. By the time I made my way the boat was gone. No one tried to contact me, and they had no intention of coming back for me. I was left on the island at night by myself with no clean dry clothes and no where to stay. No more boats were leaving that night so I had to hire a private boat for 10,000 baht ($440 AUD) to get back to the mainland so I could make my flight home the following day. When I finally got a hold of someone from the agency I was yelled at and told it was all my fault and that they would not take any responsibility. The best they offered was to collect me 24hrs later when the next tour came to the island. I have never been so scared, I was literally sobbing on the phone and they refused to help me.

Itinerary of the day as described. Friendly staff. We were packed in like sardines on the speed boat. Maya bay was so busy and like a conveyor belt of tourists walking round a guided path. The swimming and snorkelling opportunities were fab. Lunch was good and included in the price - it was at a private restaurant. You do follow lots of other speed boats doing the same thing. It was a long day door to door over 13 hours for us due to traffic.
