Description:

An otherworldly modern temple, a royal palace, and mountaintop panoramas await on this private tour of Chiang Rai. Get to know the tribe of “long neck ladies” and top off your excursion with a take a breaking hot spring bath.

A scenic morning drive from Chiang Mai takes you up hill into mountainous Northern Thailand at Doi Mae Salong for an amazing view. Sample some of the best tea in Thailand and explore Buddhist temples, open-air bazaars, and shops that offer local teas and preserved fruits.

Sit down for a delicious Thai set-menu lunch before you travel to Doi Tung Royal Villa, the private residence built for Thailand's Princess Mother. Admire the unique architecture—a blend of traditional Northern Thai style and that of a Swiss chalet—as well as 10 acres (4 ha) of colorful gardens with plant and flower species from all over the globe.

A short trek brings you to a village of the Karen hill tribe, also known as the “long neck tribe.” See the hospitable people, admire handmade fabric and crafts, and learn about their traditions such as the elongation of the neck by winding brass coils around it many times.

After, stop at Rong Khun Temple, the vision of famous local artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, which features all-white building materials and great attention to intricate details. Before you return to Chiang Mai, take a break and reflect on your day with a visit to a rejuvenating, natural hot spring.
