Considering this option. Also think of hire one song thaew to bring me around. Now only have in mind white temple, mae sai and golden triangle.

Alternatively join day tour since I solo

lots of hidden resorts in chiang rai that are nice & affordable, you can just check them out on agoda or tripadvisor

maybe take a visit to the tea plantations as well if you're interested?

I am back!!! Thanks for the recommendations above, I managed to visit almost all during my short 4 days stay. But I didnt manage to go Phu Chi Fa. Abit regret but nvm save for next time.

I went to Khun Korn waterfall which not mentioned above. A short trek of 1400m brought me to the highest waterfall in chiang rai. I would recommend this place.

Got quote for the same day trip ranging from 900bahts to 1000bahts. But i find it too rush to cover so many places in a day thus didnt join

Direct too expensive for me so I transit at bkk. Flew Nok air to chiang rai from DMK around S$120 both ways.

Even direct to Chiang Mai also limited option, not to mention Chiang Rai

Yup, thats the standard pricing

Just take green bus from chiang mai, select time and buy seat through app and pay at 7-11. Short and sweet
