With a dedicated driver and an air-conditioned vehicle, you have total freedom to dictate your own pace while visiting iconic landmarks like the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), the Blue Temple, and the Baandam Museum.

Your dedicated driver will pick you up directly from your Chiang Mai hotel. As you travel comfortably, you can choose to make a pit stop at the Mae Kachan Hot Spring before arriving in Chiang Rai. Once there, the itinerary is completely in your hands. Marvel at the intricate, surreal art of the White Temple, explore the striking aesthetics of the Blue Temple, or wander through the unique exhibits of the Baandam Museum. Your driver ensures smooth navigation and seamless transitions between sites, allowing you to focus entirely on the breathtaking views and cultural immersion before the return journey safely delivers you back to your hotel.
To make the most of your private charter, start your day right at 07:00 AM to maximize daylight hours in Chiang Rai. Wear lightweight clothing but ensure your shoulders and knees are covered for temple visits; a scarf or light jacket is easy to slip on and off. If you desire in-depth historical commentary at the temples, we highly recommend adding a professional licensed tour guide to your booking for an additional fee, as your driver is focused solely on safe transportation and basic assistance.
