What makes Chiang Rai Famed Temples and Golden Triangle Tour from Chiang Mai a unique experience ?
Start your trip with a relaxing stop at Mae Khachan Hot Spring. This natural site is on the way from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, offering a calm place to stretch and take a break. The hot spring’s warm water is a highlight, and you can see locals cooking eggs in the hot water.
Next on our journey is Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple. This is not just any temple; it’s a work of art created by a famous Thai artist. The temple stands out with its bright white color and shiny glass pieces in the plaster. As you walk around, you’ll see intricate designs and sculptures that are very different from typical Thai temples. Inside, the artwork mixes traditional and modern themes, making you think and reflect. It’s a place that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression.
We will also enjoy a local Thai lunch close to the white temple.
Our adventure continues as we head to Wat Rong Suea Ten, widely known as the Blue Temple. This remarkable temple is a true feast for the eyes, covered in various shades of blue with delicate carvings and murals. Unlike traditional temples, the Blue Temple showcases a more contemporary and artistic side of Thai culture. The vibrant blue colors symbolize the Buddhist concept of wisdom and calmness, inviting a sense of peace as you explore. Inside, you’ll find impressive artwork and a giant Buddha statue, creating a serene atmosphere. It’s a spot where art, culture, and spirituality beautifully come together.
Next on our journey is Baan Dam, also known as the Black House. This unique location is a combination of a museum, art gallery, and residence, showcasing the work of the late artist Thawan Duchanee. The structures here are predominantly dark, made from wood, and have a mysterious yet intriguing ambiance.
Inside, you’ll discover a vast collection of artworks, antiques, and curiosities ranging from paintings and sculptures to animal skins and bones. Each piece tells a story, reflecting both Thai culture and the artist’s unconventional perspective.
Following our artistic exploration, we journey to the Karen Long Neck Village. This small community is home to the Karen tribe, known for their distinctive tradition of elongating their necks using brass coils.
The last stop of our tour is the famous Golden Triangle. This place is special because Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet here. The big Mekong River runs through it, creating a natural border. We will take a short but beautiful boat ride on the river. From the boat, you can see the different countries and learn about this area’s history. The boat ride is calm, and you can take pictures and enjoy the scenery. It is a peaceful way to end our tour before we head back to Chiang Mai.
