★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,643 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $48

Krabi day tour to hot springs, Emerald Pool, and Tiger Cave Temple, with lunch, hotel transfers, and a demanding 1,260-step climb.

“It was great but more time needed at tiger cave to be able to comfortably climb the 1,260 steps up to the mountain viewpoint and back down again. It is not possible to also go to the Tiger cave as well in this timeframe. Either extend overall time or limit time at pool. Fantastic trips if not bit too rushed”

See Chiang Rai’s White, Blue, Black, and Red temples on a $24 day trip from Chiang Mai, with hot springs, lunch, and hotel pickup.

“From the outset, the transport was completely unsuitable. The bus was extremely cramped, with no air conditioning.

The buffet lunch was equally unacceptable. The venue was overcrowded, food was either stone cold, not heated properly, or had completely run out. As a result, I was unable to eat anything at all.
