Passeios por Golden Triangle Viewpoint

Our tour guide M was very kind and dedicated, switching between Chinese and English to cater to everyone in the group. Before the trip, pay attention to the travel agency's messages. They will email you again the day before departure to confirm the meeting time, which in my case was different from the time given at booking. The car arrived very punctually. 8:50 Chiang Rai Hot Spring: The foot bath was super hot, you could only dip your feet in briefly. 9:20 Long Neck Village: There's a cafe on a high spot next to the parking lot, offering distant views. The owner couldn't communicate much in English, so double-check your order. 11:30-12:40 White Temple (Wat Rong Khun): Amazingly beautiful, and the route design is very meaningful. No photos are allowed inside the main hall. 12:50 Lunch: Buffet style, with freshly scooped noodle soup, various Thai desserts, and sweet fruits. 13:50-14:30 Blue Temple (Wat Rong Seur Ten): You can take photos with the large Buddha statue at the Blue Temple. Outside the temple, there's a row of shops where you can buy souvenirs and snacks. 14:50-15:30 Black Temple (Baan Dam Museum): The private collection of an artist, with a unique style. 16:30-17:40 Golden Triangle Park (optional boat trip 300/person). We returned to Nimman Road at 22:00, an hour later than the scheduled 21:00. Luckily, I had snacks with me. The streetlights along the route were quite far apart. I recommend that those who get motion sickness take medication beforehand, as the mountain roads there are not very smooth. Although it ended very late, the tour guide remained energetic throughout, providing excellent service.

We are to meet at 6:50 PM near the parking lot at the back exit of One Nimman Shopping Center. Do not go outside the parking lot; keep walking further inside toward the exit direction of the parking lot. Because I couldn't find the meeting place in the picture, I walked all around the main street of One Nimman Shopping Town. The White Temple is a combination of Buddhism and contemporary art, and even though I am not a Buddhist, I had things to learn. It is very vast, so there are many places to take pictures. They say you are not allowed to take photos inside the White Temple. We had lunch at a restaurant near the White Temple. After about a 30-minute car ride, we went to the Blue Temple. It is said to have been newly built by a disciple who helped construct the White Temple, but its scale is smaller. The Baandam Museum (Black House) showcases the artistic world of Thawan Duchanee, an artist from Chiang Rai. It is grotesque. Using motifs like animal skins, bones, and hides, it strongly portrays the themes of life and death. The guide, Alisa, explained the temples very seriously and calmly, making them easy to understand. The driver, Mr. La, was also kind and drove comfortably for a long time. You must definitely buy the cocoa sticky rice ice cream at the Blue Temple. It is an exotic, delicious, and healthy natural ice cream. At the Black Museum, I received and ate something like a mini pineapple called Patta, and it was very refreshing and delicious. I recommend the Chiang Rai day tour as a one-day course.

The tour guide was friendly and polite, fluent in both Mandarin and English. They provided detailed explanations of the history and background of the attractions. The driver drove smoothly and steadily. Friends traveling to Chiang Mai should definitely sign up for this activity to gain a deeper understanding of Northern Thai culture. The food quality was good, and most of our fellow travelers were from all over the world, so we all got along well. The best part was being able to admire the White Temple, Blue Temple, and the Long Neck Karen village. The villagers showcased traditional Northern Thai handicrafts, and the adorable smiles of the children in the village left a lasting impression on us.
