    Un guide qui a répondu à ma demande puisque le temple white n'était pas prévu dans la visite et qu'il s'est arrangé pour que nous puissions y aller au retour

    Best experience for us was the lunch cruise at the golden triangle. Suzy was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Flexible when she realized we had already toured the White Temple and instead toured tea plantation. Overall, we would recommend this experience. Thanks again for a great day!

    With tourism globally impacted by to COVIDvirus, our minibus tour was in a comfortable private car with just us 2 and the driver/guide. Over 8 hours, leaving from Chiang Rai, we covered all that was listed in the itinerary, albeit not necessarily in the same order as advertised. There were many highlights, including the beautifully maintained Mae Fah Leung Garden and Royal Villa at Doi Tung, the delicious Thai smorgasbord at a roadside stop, people watching at the Thai/Myanmar border crossing at Mae Sae, standing at the confluence of the Ruok and Mekong Rivers, looking simultaneously from Thailand to Laos and Myanmar, some impressive ancient Wat and the Opium Museum - well presented and informative. On the downside, smoke from Myanmar impeded what should have been awesome mountain vistas, and our guide/driver provided a couple of heart- stopping moments by crossing to the wrong side of the road on blind downhill corners. Fortunately traffic was light. We live to tell the tale!
