Ting å gjøre i Chiang Rai Province

Although the temples are really far away from Chiang Mai (3.5hrs/single way), they are worth-visiting. The itinerary was fine, yet the time left for White temple/ Black House were too short to visit the whole as they are too big. The tour guide Apple was really nice. Still recommend!

Det var langt til Chiang Rai, men vi kom oss trygt fram og tilbake. Guidemene var også veldig hyggelige og morsomme, og tok masse bilder. Jeg tror ikke det røde tempelet var med i planen, men det var det, og siden jeg hadde lyst til å dra dit, var det kjempefint å få det til. Siden vi måtte tilbake til Bangkok samme dag, tok det litt lengre tid enn planlagt å returnere til Chiang Mai, men guiden kjørte oss til et sted i nærheten av flyplassen der det var enkelt å få tak i en Grab, slik at vi kom oss på flyet i tide. Det er ganske langt til Chiang Rai, så denne turen kan absolutt anbefales!

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.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend. Anne and her driver were very kind and friendly. I had a spectacular day with them, and even though the tour is long, they make it super easygoing! Book with them ❤️🇦🇷

Tempelet i Chiang Rai er helt nydelig. Reiselederen vår forklarte historien veldig godt, noe som gjorde besøket enda mer meningsfullt. Vi hadde også god tid til å utforske tempelområdet på egen hånd. Det var en fantastisk opplevelse og absolutt verdt et besøk.

Mr Em is a great tour guide! he's very patient, friendly, and informative about the places. i learnt alot from him. the places are all incredible. hot spring was kinda meh, but its on the way to chiang rai so why not. the long neck village as well. but you can opt not to go in the village, you can kill time at the cafe on top the entrance. great coffee with a view! and cozy too! all the temples are soooo beautiful. we had a safe ride for the return trip so kudos to the driver mr man. its a longggg day so make sure you bring and use sunscreen and umbrella. it was insanely scorching, and then strong rains at the same day. the buffet place was really nice! lots of choices and its right next to the white temple. the journey back from red temple is about 4 hours, you'll be so tired so everyone just sleep in the van. you'll get a break at a petrol station to pee or buy things!

The driver was extremely attentive and thoughtful, parking the vehicle right at the entrance of our accommodation to make it easier for all of us to get on board. At every stop, he reminded us of the restroom locations and provided a list of recommended local foods to buy. Although the journey was long, we didn't feel any discomfort from travel fatigue. We are so grateful to have had the driver accompany us on our trip to Chiang Rai!

Vi hadde en fantastisk dagstur til de berømte 7 stedene. Turlederen PING og sjåføren KEAR gjorde en fantastisk jobb med å sørge for at vi alltid ble godt tatt vare på, introduserte stedene på forhånd og viste oss triksene for hvordan vi skulle se stedene og hvor de beste stedene å ta bilder var! Kear rengjorde alltid bilen og gjorde alt han kunne for å ta turen vår til et nytt nivå! Det var en så flott dag, og hvis vi kommer til Chiang Rai igjen, vil vi bestille en annen rute med dem!

Love it! The places are very meaningful and interesting! Value for money. Only thing I hope can be better is the transport.
