Chiang Rai White, Blue Temple, Black House Museum, Hot Spring Tour

We are meeting at 6:50 PM near the parking lot exit at the back gate of One Nimman shopping center. Do not go outside the parking lot; keep walking inside toward the exit direction of the parking lot. Because I couldn't easily find the meeting point in the picture, I ended up walking all the way around the main street of One Nimman. The White Temple is a combination of Buddhism and contemporary art, and even as a non-Buddhist, I had things to learn. It is very spacious with many photo spots. Photography is prohibited inside the White Temple. We had lunch at a restaurant near the White Temple and took a car for about 30 minutes to get to the Blue Temple. It is said to have been newly built by a disciple who helped construct the White Temple, and its scale is smaller. The Baandam Museum (Black House) showcases the artistic world of Chiang Rai-born artist Thawan Duchanee. It is quite grotesque. Using motifs like animal skins, bones, and hides, it strongly portrays the themes of life and death. Our guide, Alyssa, explained the temples very seriously, calmly, and clearly, making them easy to understand. Our driver, Mr. La, was also kind, drove safely and comfortably, and handled the long drive very well. You must definitely try the cocoa sticky rice ice cream at the Blue Temple. It is an exotic, delicious, and healthy-tasting natural ice cream. At the Black Museum, I received and ate something like a mini pineapple, which was very refreshing and delicious. I highly recommend a one-day trip to Chiang Rai.

Our tour guide, P'Sing, was excellent. He provided detailed explanations in both English and Chinese and was also very skilled at taking photos for the group, working quickly and efficiently, which helped us capture wonderful memories. We visited the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Black House. For lunch, he took us to a buffet restaurant where the food was 150 baht per person, and the environment was very clean. Although the journey was a bit long, the beautiful scenery made it well worth the trip. The driver was also very kind, helping us open doors and adjust seats, and complimentary bottled water was provided in the car, along with small pineapples as a gift. This tour was quite good, and I recommend it for first-time visitors to Chiang Mai.

Amazing trip with an amazing tour guide and driver! This tour was so worth the money and time because all of the temples were unlike any of the ones we’ve seen in Thailand. Our tour guide, P. Sing was really helpful in taking photos of our group and provided great insights about each and every temple. He even gave free mini pineapples for our group! 100% would recommend.

Excellent experience! We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour that day, so it felt like having a private guide and driver. Our guide, P'sing, was very kind and attentive the entire time, and great at taking photos. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend it. The van we were transported in was always very clean, and the driver drove very well throughout the entire trip. They recommended Coco Azul to us, and the flavor was spectacular. P'sing even gave us some small, delicious pineapples to eat.

Unfortunately, the tour started a bit outside the main area, which I found a little disappointing. Otherwise, I'm absolutely thrilled. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained a lot. He also answered questions promptly. He made a special effort to integrate everyone into the group and gave us some tips and information. The temples were also breathtaking, and I don't regret doing it. To top it off, our tour guide even gave us mini pineapples at the end.

This was a join tour using a 9-seater limousine van. We met at Wat Rong Khun parking lot and had a safe and fulfilling schedule. Both the White Temple and Blue Temple were impressive sights, and I highly recommend visiting them. Our guide, P'Sing, was very kind and helpful, informing us of the best photo spots and how to take the best pictures at each location. If you go to the Blue Temple, try the coconut ice cream. The price is reasonable, and it even matches the color scheme of the Blue Temple, making it even more delicious. Even though it is a tourist destination, I was impressed that there were no excessive markups on food, drinks, water, or other items at the simple vending stalls or shops around the area. (Iced water 10 baht, canned cola 20 baht, coconut ice cream 45 baht...) The Chiang Rai sun is really strong. Be sure to bring a hat with a brim or an umbrella.

I highly recommend booking tours with TTD Global! Other travel agencies combine travelers from different tours, wasting a lot of time waiting for each other, but TTD Global doesn't do that! Everyone on the vehicle is on the same tour, so be sure to check carefully before booking. P.SING is a very thoughtful and professional guide. The whole day's itinerary was very comfortable, not too rushed. He's great at timing our visits to avoid crowds and allows us to fully appreciate each attraction. He provides detailed explanations and introductions and takes us to experience local food and drinks 🍦. Listen to the guide; the spots he recommends are the best for taking pictures! Lunch is on your own, but I recommend going to the buffet on the second floor across from the White Temple, as recommended by the guide. It's only $150 per person, the dining environment is comfortable, and the dishes are plentiful! Plus, you can enjoy the view of the White Temple while you eat - awesome! 👍🏻 The driver was very skilled. Some parts of the journey were bumpy, but not excessively so. He was also very considerate. The vehicle was very luxurious, comfortable, and clean, and they even provided bottled water, cold wet wipes, and pineapple snacks. Thank you both for making our day trip to Chiang Rai so enjoyable! ✨

We had tour guide PSingh and driver Peanut. The journey was very long but Peanut drove safely to each locations and always turn on the air conditioner for us as it was very hot. Meanwhile PSingh was polite, very informative and giving such detailed history of the temples. He is a very good photographer as every shot he took surprised us even though we were sweating and it was hard to open eyes under hot weather. He recommended us places to eat for lunch which was decent and comfortable. For desserts we had blue ice cream and small pineapples which was really good. Entire tour took whole day but it was worth visiting these magnificent temples which was surreal and with good company of PSingh and Peanut as our tour guides. Would recommend this tour.

This is one of my favorite experiences when I went to Chiang Mai! It was a long journey going to the White Temple BUT it was SO WORTH IT! The other stops were stunning as well. It was a day of appreciating art. Our tour guide was also amazing - we were a small group of four people and she made sure we got to the best spots. Highly recommended. 💗

Khun Sing gave us such a nice tour. It was our family's first time going to Chiang Rai and he took such good care of us. We were a bit pressed for time because we had to go back to Chiang Mai, but overall the trip was worth it. We were able to travel to many places. This was the best package we could have gotten from a family staying in Chiang Mai. We definitely strongly recommend this package. Thank you, Khun Sing. 🙏🏼
