Randall R. ★★★★★ I am an American living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In April 2021 I had to visit the States for a family emergency and when I returned to Thailand in early July, I had to enter COVID quarantine in Bangkok. As new infections kept rising, the Thai government started to impose travel restrictions. Rather quickly, the options for getting from Bangkok to Chiang Mai disappeared. My booked Thai Airways flight was cancelled. The over-night train was cancelled. Buses no longer went north of Uttaradit. I started looking for a place to spend another couple of weeks in Bangkok. A friend in Chiang Mai suggested I contact Bon Voyage and I am very pleased I did. Within an hour I was ticketed on a day-train to Chiang Mai. Thank you Bon Voyage!!!Response from the ownerThank you so much for your review! CLAUDIONOR A. ★★★★★ 1. The tourThe tour was wonderful, beautiful and marvelous.

My compliments towards this agency will never finish: super serious agency, I always corresponded with them via email or WhatsApp and their reply was always super fast. We had our local guide waiting for us at the airport in Chiang Rai, Jackie. With Jackie Chan and our driver, James Bond, we spend two of our best days: they took us everywhere! The White Temple, the Emerald temple, Black House, lunch was included, dinner was included and as well amazing massage at our accommodation in Thaton. The two, Jackie and James always took super care of us, Jackie was super patient, he took hundred of pictures for me and my mother, and at the end of every day, the agency wrote to me on WhatsApp to check how we spent the day and if everything was alright. I can’t wait to go back to Thailand, this time to Chiang Mai, and for sure I will contact Bon Voyage Thailand. If you want to have the same great experience, contact Bon Voyage Thailand and you will have the perfect holiday! Liliana Stube, from RomaniaIrawati S. ★★★★★ We felt comfortable taking part in 2 trips organized by Bon Voyage. It was very fun and the guide named Dany was very helpful and liked to take our photos. He also gave a lot of information, he is a good guide.Thank you Bon Voyage.Astradia ★★★★★ Jean-Philippe A. ★★★★★ Nous avons bénéficié d'une excursion privée autour de Chiang mai sur une journée de 8:00 à 16:00. Visite du temple qui domine la ville, au préalable nous avons participé au rituel des offrandes... Ensuite nous avons visité un village de montagne (pour touristes mais tout de même authentique)... Puis repas typique... Puis visite d'une fabrique d'objet en jade, de fabrique de soie, fabrique d'ombrelle, parapluie et parasol, d'une fabrique de bois laqué artisanal...Tout ceci avec les commentaires de notre guide francophone Ae... Merci à elle.Belle expérience.Anne B. ★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of a tour with Bon Voyage. The guides were knowledgeable with a sense of humour and the driver was very accommodating...very professional team. We had fun biking around the ancient city Wang Kum Kam which was only discovered in 1984. Then a delicious lunch of Khao Soi and fruit on the banks of the Ping River before taking a river cruise to the Old City. After a pleasant walk through the flower market we were taken by rickshaw to a temple where crafts people practise their art...beautiful. The rickshaw was a lovely gentle way to see the city. In the evening we experienced a traditional Khsntike Dinner and performance. This is my second tour with this company and I would definitely recommend them.Michi A. ★★★★★ Wonderful trips arranged for my parents who were visiting. Drivers/guides spoke good English, were on time, and very professional. Great suggestions for the itinerary and communication with office was very fast and responsive.Dennis M. ★★★★★ On January 20, 2020, my friend and I did a full day tour to Chiang Rai. We toured the White Temple, Blue Temple, Black House, and one of the Longneck Village. Our tour guide, Danny, was the most informative tour guide I have ever experienced. His English was very good and his knowledge of all the sites was superb. I learned so much about each of these sites. I had taken a Chiang Rai tour several years ago but it did not come anywhere close to matching this one. As an example, on the previous tour I took, the guide dropped us at the White Temple and told us what time and where to meet him to continue the tour. On this tour, Fanny went with us throughout every site, offering, information about culture, history, religion and other points. It was one of the greatest learning experiences I have ever had. I think the guide makes all the difference and that is why I highly recommend Danny.Nicole L. ★★★★★ Me and my friend really enjoyed our tour with Bon Voyage, it was such a beautiful day out seeing many sites of Chiang Mai. We started at a Traditional wooden Lanna Hotel for a coffee before we embarked on bicycles around the ruins of old Chaing Mai. It was fascinating to learn about pre- Lanna Kingdom and the history. Our tour guide Nat was fantastic, he speaks perfect English and answered any and every question! We explored the sites and some exhibitions and temples by bike around a peaceful, authentic Thai village. It was so relaxing and quiet riding around the village in the morning air. The Mini-Van was amazing with wi fi and very comfortable. We were then taken to a classic Thai restaurant, overlooking Ping River for Khao Soi which was fresh and delicious. We then sailed down Ping River on a boat towards the flower Markets. After exploring the markets and buying some flowers we then took a Rickshaw through the city to a temple. At the temple we saw crafts being made by a special craftswoman for a special event. We then were taken back to our hotel and picked up a few hours later for the dinner and dance show. The dinner was very tasty with an assortment of Thai dishes, followed by fruit.. You can order vegetarian or chicken. I would have loved to eat more but was too full. The dances were beautiful with amazing costumes and light. Honestly, the day was very special, we weren't rushed and had time to enjoy and explore. Bon Voyage ensured we were comfortable and happy so the day and all the activities were very relaxing. I would certainly recommend Bon Voyage and the tour, you won't regret a thing. Lovely day and a great Travel company. Thank you all for making our day memorable and special.Isabelle P. ★★★★★ Administración M. ★★★★★ Very good agency un Chiang Mai. Offers top quality tours. We had several excursions with them, and everything went smooth. Excellent in every aspect: safety, price, comfort, guide and driver, transportation, food.
