Review of Chiang Mai’s 13-hour Chiang Rai temple tour, with White and Blue Temples, hot springs, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“From the outset, the transport was completely unsuitable. The bus was extremely cramped, with no air conditioning. My partner is currently recovering from a broken leg and had absolutely no space or support during the journey. The entire trip was uncomfortably hot, overcrowded, and caused significant discomfort. The buffet lunch was equally unacceptable. The venue was overcrowded, food was either stone cold, not heated properly, or had completely run out. As a result, I was unable to eat anything at all. When raising this with the tour guide, they were unhelpful and showed little concern. We were also disappointed with what was described as a “snack,” which consisted only of…”

Review of Krabi’s Emerald Pool and hot springs tour, with itinerary, costs, transport advice, swimming tips, and who should book.
“I booked the half day that did not include lunch or Kayaking. I was in the van for nearly 2.5hrs in the morning, and two hours after the Pool experience. Even though you book half day you are made to wait while the full day trip people eat and get dropped off for Kayaking. The can also took people not part of our group and dropped them off to ATV. This was an expensive trip and was spoiled by sitting on the van for most of the time travelling to pick or drop off people. The pools themselves were very busy. I would not recommend the half day trip to…”
