Great tour, highly recommended if you're hoping to see a little more of Thailand outside of Chiang Mai. The white temple is beautiful! Make sure you soak it all in because you can only go through it once and it ends in the exit. I wished I had taken more pictures because I didn't realize i could go back through. This is a long tour so expect to be out all day, but it is totally worth it!
