About this activity
Highlights
- Marvel at the intricate artistry of the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)
- Be mesmerized by the vibrant Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten)
- Discover the historical Golden Triangle where three countries meet
- Explore the unique collection at the intriguing Black House Museum (Baan Dam)

- Experience the rich culture and traditions of Chiang Rai province
Embark on a journey through the artistic heart and historical frontiers of Northern Thailand. This comprehensive day trip from Chiang Mai takes you across the scenic northern mountains to explore Chiang Rai’s most iconic landmarks—a study in "White, Blue, and Gold." Your adventure begins with a comfortable drive, pausing at the Mae Khachan Hot Spring to relax and witness the natural geysers. Upon arrival in Chiang Rai, prepare to be awestruck by the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). This contemporary masterpiece by artist Chalermchai Kositpipat is encrusted in mirror glass and symbolizes the cycle of rebirth, making it one of the most unique temples in the world. Contrast this with a visit to the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), famous for its intense sapphire interiors and elaborate golden carvings. The vibrant colors and massive white Buddha create a surreal, immersive atmosphere that is perfect for photos. Finally, travel north to the legendary Golden Triangle, the geographic point where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge at the Mekong River. Once the center of the opium trade, it is now a peaceful historical landmark offering panoramic vistas of three nations.

Be prepared for a very long day, but you really do see quite a bit. The White temple is stunning and definitely the highlight. There were crowds but not as many as in other sights. Our guide was so professional, funny and helpful throughout the day, even keeping us on track when two other guests were super late to pick-up, hadn't paid in advance and needed to stop at a bank, and were late returning to every excursion. My patience would've been exhausted, but our guide, (Hori?), was so sweet and did her best to keep us on track. My only recommendation would be for the tour company to set expectations with their guests. The two guests were super inconsiderate and would've been better suited with a private guide. Kudos to Hori for maintaining her professionalism and ensuring we all had a great day.
