Avoid - Terrible , tacky and upsetting

Traveller_o, Aug 2023

This was a terrible tour. Basically this tour follows all the hoards of tourist buses and goes to very touristy and tacky places Whilst the guide was good the actual tour itinerary was dreadful. The village hill tribe visit was just dreadful. It was sold as a visit into hill tribes but in fact it was a fake sort of set up for tourists with Karen longneck tribe in their huts in the outskirts of a town all set up just for tourists - whilst they may live there it was only as a front for tourists . We specifically did not want to see the Karen tribe and the itinerary mentioned different tribes . The Karen village was where women are paraded around like animals with very heavy and uncomfortable rings around their neck which was actually upsetting to see them. Out of the 12/13 hour trip we only had about 2 - 3 hours outside of the taxi. Even lunch we went to a tourist style buffet where they were wheeling in hoards of tourists - nothing authentic . Also when we got in the taxi we were told the golden triangle part wasn’t going ahead as planned as Laos side was closed . At the golden triangle we went round a very tacky pool touristy town for 10 mins to see the golden Buddha and boat tour for 20 mins and that was it after all that driving . The guide was nice and with another type of tour I am sure he would have been excellent and it is no disrespect to him and he tried to make the best of the day but I would advise others to definitely avoid. A waste of a day and very expensive for basically doing the same tour as the big tourist bus just in your own car.

Be ready for really long day and be...

Be ready for really long day and be ready to sit in the car as Golden Triangle is quite far from Chiang Mai. But worth it. You will see really beautiful countryside of Northern Thailand, northern tribes and simple village life and Golden Triangle and its changes under strong China influence. I was really happy about this trip but also tired in the end.
