      Nice and pragmatic
      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!

      Excellent Good fun. Loads of species from shrimps to giant sharks. Also snakes, lizards and chameleons etc.
      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.

      Massive con and waste of money
      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.

      overall not bad
      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.

      Great experience on the long boat and eye opening down the side canals.
      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.

      Team Spicy on PhiPhi
      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!

      THE BOAT LEFT ME ON PHI PHI ISLAND!
      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.

      Terrible guide, no history provided, hard to understand, I do not recommend.
      The guide was hard to understand, short and did not have a lot of detailed information on the temples. The driver was driving fast around corners making others feel unsafe. I would not recommend this tour again.

      Trip as described
      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.

      Treated like cattle
      This was stressful and confusing. It is NOT as they say. You are grouped together with 50-100 people. Not 9. The workers are not organized and speak very little English. You are shuttled around like cattle.

      Skip it, waste of time to end up swimming in trash
      We did an island hopping adventure in the Ang Thong national marine park, where we visited 4 islands; - the first was snorkeling (the water was cloudy and waves choppy so that was a bust), - the second was one you could take a small hike to see ‘emerald lake’ or stay on the beach part and swim. This was maybe a 50m long beach. There was easily at least 500 people. It was not the peaceful scenic view advertised. Stayed about 40-60min. - the third was where we stopped for lunch … where the ocean was filled with trash, the land was filled with trash and the smell was overwhelming. We went back to the boat as soon as we could. We stayed over an hour here, it was awful. - and the final was another hike or stay on the beach … again, trash, less so, but still disgusting. And 90 mins here. This was a tour with a “max of 15 people”. There was about 70 people on our boat alone and at any of the stops there was 5-8 boats. You can imagine the hundreds, close to thousand people at these stops. The "light breakfast" was coffee and crackers, waiting at the pier for over an hour for all others to arrive, again, hundreds of people. The trip to the first island was 1 hour. It was 1 hour back too on the choppiest of waters, it was horrific.

      Bad experience
      Firstly, it is 12hours itenary where most of the times you are spending in the mini van and waiting before dam water released for rafting. Food is just average but I loved that chicken drumstick. We didnt even know who is our English speaking guide until at last stop monkey temple when a guy come and tell us about how long we have for this. And he showed us about a bad photo of a mediocre waterfall and asked us if we still wanna go with extra 40mins. There wasn't even any instructions about when and where to change clothes before rafting as well. And ATV is the worst of all, you bascially ride on man made track breathing in dust and diesel of ATV infront with man made scenery while hearing extremely loud and unpleasant engine noises while you need to follow the guide in line slowly begging for it to end.

      I appreciated the great customer service! I went on a wrong boat the first round and they allowed me to reschedule. Then they made sure that I was located for the next tour.

    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.

    Be aware: they might put you on a different tour and make an extra stop at a village with nothing to see other than totally overpriced goods if you don’t want to join the long neck tour for additional money. Due to that they wasted one hour :(

    The guide we had had now knowledge and wasn’t really capable to communicate in English.
    The tour description is wrong because the black temple isn’t a temple - it’s a museum; quality is in the eye of the beerholder ;)
    The white temple isn’t really a temple, it’s a commercial place but ok to have a look.

    The trip to the temples was good and the temples are beautiful but the rest is a waste of time.
    We had to pay to enter the village of women with neck rings because if we didn't pay we would have to wait 40 minutes outside while members of the group went. The guide said it was an optional tour but this never appeared in the tour description or any other information about detouring an hour from the tour for this.
    The Mekong visit is not worth it. Hours are wasted traveling for a bad boat trip, in an area that has nothing and precarious infrastructure. There is no beauty either.
    It's a four-hour drive back. Extremely tiring. We arrived back in Chiang Mai after 22:00.
    In short, only take a trip to the temples that are worth it. Don't go to the Mekong and Golden Triangle.

    Seeing the contemporary temples was very interesting. The White Temple and Black House had a lot to see and tons of story behind them. The Blue Temple was just ok but small and seemed unoriginal in comparison. The Golden Triangle was interesting but way too far off a drive for what you saw.

    The tour itself was not what we signed up for. We were supposed to get back to Chiang Mai in time for dinner, but they added a stop that made it last an extra 1.5 hours, getting back at 8:30 instead of 7. That's a big difference! Plus, the stop added was a village we had to pay 300baht to enter and then had to spend more to buy the goods. It was only a shopping stop I didn't sign up for, was pressured to pay extra to see what it was rather than sit in the hot van, and felt swindled when we left. I would have paid 900baht not to stop! Because of this extra stop, I felt like the time at the places I had paid to see were cut short. We barely got to see everything at the White Temple or Black House. Very rushed!

    As much as I appreciated the driver getting us home quickly, it was a very scary drive. I felt like my family's life was in danger on sharp curves going fast in the rain and passing large amounts of cars in oncoming traffic.

    All in all it was an ok day but way too long and not what we expected! I would choose something different if I could do it all again.

    Great day! The white temple was stunning. The modern reference (e.g. ninja turtles) was unexpected but very much enjoyed: Ice cream at blue temple and black house was delicious. The art at the black house is very unlike European art.
    There was a stop to see the long neck Karen tribe. Had to pay extra for it and was my least favourite part. The golden triangle was had great views. The boat tour was entertaining especially If you like a bit of karaoke. Be prepared for the 4 hour drive back. Overall, would recommend especially if you have limited time

    It was a very busy schedule but our guide knew how to keep it on time to make sure that we visited and experienced each sights (we had enough time for them all). Only thing for me is that the driver was driving very fast to keep up with the schedule. This trip is good if you are tight with timing. Otherwise, I would recommend to do this in two days.

    We had to pay for the long neck (600 THB) not included in the tour but the people with us had taken it. On the way back, the driver left us in the street 1km from the hotel while the other people arrived in front of their hotel. The 4 hours back after a long day are exhausting. The golden triangle and the not-so-great boat excursion. The white temple and the black house are to be seen but the blue temple is Disney! The lunch was not good at all, lots of choice but everything was dry.

    Both temples seemed too "artificial" to us, especially the white one. The black house is gorgeous and we wish we had spent more time there than the tour allowed. Unfortunately, during the boat trip to the Golden Triangle we were unable to disembark in Laos as the guide told us that the border was still closed. Unfortunately no one had warned us before the excursion. Friendly and engaging guide.

    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.
