Chiang Rai Highlights Tour from Chiang Mai: White, Blue, Red/Black Trips and Day Trips

Let's drive through Northern Thailand's countryside. You will have a short stop at a natural hot spring and take a break. You can grab a bite with coffee and snacks. Admire the breathtaking beauty of Wat Rong Khun often named The White Temple. You will see a very unique architecture that stands out through the white colour inlaid work and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun.

Wat Rong Suea Ten, also known as the Blue Temple, is one of Chiang Rai's most striking and modern temples. It is famous for its vivid blue exterior accented with gold details, symbolizing wisdom and purity. Designed by a student of the artist behind the White Temple, the temple features intricate artwork, mythical creatures, and a magnificent white Buddha statue inside. Its unique color and contemporary style make it a must-visit highlight in Chiang Rai.

Depending on the package you choose, you will visit either the Red Temple or the Black House. Wat Huay Pla Kang (Red Temple) is a striking complex blending Chinese and Lanna architecture, famous for its 69-meter-high Guan Yin statue and red-and-gold pagoda. Baan Dam (Black House), also known as the Black Museum, features a unique collection of dark-themed buildings showcasing symbolic artworks, traditional carvings, skulls and skeletons and cultural pieces reflecting Northern Thai heritage.
