Why go, and how to do it well

Scorpions Tours operates from a central location on Phaholyothin Road in Chiang Rai, running guided day tours that cover seven major sites in and around the region. Reviewers consistently highlight the knowledgeable, engaging guides and the small group sizes — typically around eight participants — which allow for a more personalized experience and plenty of opportunity for questions. Beyond the standard sightseeing circuit, the company also offers jungle tours through mountain villages, complete with bamboo-cooked lunches in nature and stops at waterfalls, as well as early-morning transfers to sunrise viewpoints such as Phu Chi Fa.

Tours typically run from around 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM for full-day itineraries, though the office is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, giving travelers flexibility to inquire or book on short notice. Drivers and guides are frequently praised by name in reviews for their professionalism and warmth, and private transfers with early pick-up times are available for those chasing dawn departures.

Today we had an absolutely wonderful tour lasting almost 9 hours! We saw so much thanks to our wonderful Guide Yok and Bus Driver Tom Cruise 🥳! They are a Great Team. Yok was excellent and explained everything clearly and methodically to our group of 9 people. We visited the following 7 Must See’s today! The Amazing White Temple; Blue Temple 🥰; Black House; Longneck Karen ladies & village 🥰; Tea Plantation for tea tasting; The Golden Triangle….and finally we visited the Opium Museum before returning back to Chiang Rai 😇! We also enjoyed a fabulous Buffet at 12 Noon (included in the price)! Yok kept us safe and was clear about being punctual as a group. I would highly recommend Scorpion Tours and especially I would recommend Yok and TC the famous Driver! Yok was so kind and friendly and above all she had great knowledge and information about our 7 stops today. Thank you Yok for a wonderful day. All the best. Sandra from Ireland ☘️…..

Amazing trip seeing 7 major sights of Chiang Rai and the surrounding areas. Mew our tour guide was just wonderful and so knowledgable keeping us informed throughout, our driver Tom Cruise (iykyk) looked after us so well and the van was driven very safely and super comfy. It’s a long day but you’re well looked after from start to finish with water available and opportunities throughout for the loo / to replenish. It was a fantastic way to see as much as possible without feeling too rushed, as I had limited time in Chiang Rai, I was also able to book the day before at short notice, so overall top experience and would highly recommend.

Did the jungle tour up the mountain though the villages, had lunch in nature where the guids work with bamboo to do the cooking. Came passed a high and beautifull waterfall where you could cool off. Loved the experience. I loved the tour and the guids were very involved, patient and funny. Loved the personal gifts where I was able to eat from (chopsticks and cups) The tour was intens and lovely, I enjoyed myself very much and definetly recommend.
