Golden Triangle Viewpoint rundturer

Vår guide M var mycket vänlig och engagerad, och växlade mellan kinesiska och engelska för att ta hand om hela gruppen. Innan resan är det viktigt att vara uppmärksam på resebyråns meddelanden. Dagen före avresan skickas ett e-postmeddelande med information om samlingstiden, och den tid jag fick var annorlunda än den som angavs vid bokningen. Bussen var punktlig. 8:50 Chiang Rai varma källor Fotbadet var extremt varmt, man kunde bara doppa fötterna snabbt. 9:20 Long Neck Village Det finns ett kafé på en höjd bredvid parkeringen, där man kan njuta av utsikten. Ägaren hade svårt att kommunicera på engelska, så det var bra att dubbelkolla beställningarna. 11:30-12:40 Vita templet (Wat Rong Khun) Otroligt vackert, och rutten är meningsfullt utformad. Det är inte tillåtet att fotografera i huvudhallen. 12:50 Lunch Buffé med nygjorda nudelsoppor, olika thailändska desserter och söta frukter. 13:50-14:30 Blå templet (Wat Rong Seur Ten) Man får ta bilder med den stora Buddha-statyn i Blå templet. Utanför templet finns en rad butiker där man kan köpa souvenirer och snacks. 14:50-15:30 Svarta templet (Baan Dam Museum) Konstnärens privata samling med en unik stil. 16:30-17:40 Gyllene triangeln (Golden Triangle) – valfri båttur 300/person 22:00 Tillbaka till Nimman-området, en timme senare än den planerade tiden 21:00. Tur att vi hade snacks med oss. Vägen hade långa avstånd mellan gatlyktorna, så de som lätt blir åksjuka rekommenderas att ta medicin i förväg, då bergsvägarna inte är särskilt jämna. Trots att det blev sent var guiden energisk och servicen var utmärkt.

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.

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.

we had a wonderful day trip with the famous 7 spots. The tour guide PING and the driver KEAR did a fantastic job always making sure we were well taken care of, introducing the places ahead of the time and showing us the tricks on how to see the places and where the best spots to take a picture! Kear was always cleaning the car and went out of his way to take our trip to another level! it was such great day and if we come to Chiang rai again we will book with them for another route!

Jag fick en erfaren och vänlig chaufför, Thor. Resan till Chiang Rai var mycket smidig och chauffören rekommenderade oss lokal mat som var supergod. Tack, Thor.
