The tour is good even though it was a long drive to Chiang Rai. The half way stop at Hot Spring on the way there was helpful. Get to soak my leg in warm sping water. Koi my guide was very good. She make sure I enjoy the tour and everything is ok. Koi is very knowledgeable and helpful. She communicated very well and speak clearly.

The guide, Boon, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, great joke teller, and kind. The trip itself was only okay - probably because I didn't know what to expect, but there wasn't that much to see. We're lucky we had Boon as a guide though because his stories and anecdotes made the trip more interesting.
