Remarks
This tour is a “self-discovery” trip, run with a driver only. No tour guide.
This is an exhausting day trip that we would recommend to be done over a two days guided tour program, or to be started from Chiang-Rai as a day trip. We offer this trip as it is a popular trip for visitors short in time.
