Mae Kachan Hot Spring
First spot, arrive at Mae Kachan Hot Spring for a break where you can relax by soaking your feet in a hot stream, boiling some eggs, and getting some coffee. (Approx 15-20 min)
Karen Longneck Village in Chiang Rai
Take a trip to the Karen Longneck Tribe Village, located in the northern part of Chiang Rai Province. You'll see women and young girls wearing distinctive brass rings around their necks, a traditional cultural practice that gives the appearance of an elongated neck. The village is also known for its beautiful handmade crafts, including scarves, wooden dolls, and brass or silver jewelry — all reflecting their rich heritage and unique artistry
White Temple
Visit Wat Rong Khun (the White Temple), an extraordinary art exhibition designed in the form of a Buddhist temple. Created by renowned Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple blends traditional Buddhist symbolism with modern artistic elements through stunning white sculptures and intricate details. Visitors can also rent traditional Thai costumes for memorable photos in this unique and breathtaking setting.
Blue Temple
Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple) is often the second temple visited on Chiang Rai tours. It was designed by Phuttha Kabkaew, a student of Chalermchai Kositpipat, and showcases a striking blend of modern art and traditional Buddhist style. The temple is known for its vivid blue-and-gold interior, stunning wall paintings, and beautifully detailed sculptures. Don’t miss the popular coconut ice cream shop on-site — a sweet treat that perfectly complements the vibrant surroundings.
Lalitta Cafe'
Lalitta Café is a popular café and photo spot located in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It's especially famous for its fairy tale-like scenery, including:
- A large waterfall backdrop that looks like something out of a fantasy movie
- Beautifully landscaped gardens and ponds
- Unique architecture inspired by Hobbit houses and magical themes
- Instagram-worthy corners throughout the property
Black House Musuem
Visit the Black House Museum (Baan Dam), an intriguing and unconventional art space created by Thawan Duchanee, a renowned Thai national artist. Built in a unique and striking Thai-style architectural design, the museum features a collection of over 40 dark-themed buildings. Inside, you’ll find impressive wood carvings and an eclectic array of collectibles — including buffalo horns, giant shells, crocodile leather, snake skin, and antique furniture — all reflecting themes of life, death, and nature in a bold artistic expression.
The Golden Triangle
For the final destination, visit the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet. This iconic spot features scenic views and a vibrant local Thai market. The highlight of the visit is a 30–40-minute boat ride along the famous Mekong River, offering a unique perspective of the three-country junction. Don’t forget to stop by the Laos market, where you can try a variety of local products — including a one-of-a-kind local drink you won’t find elsewhere.
Drop off at the hotel
At the end of the tour, I can drop you off at your hotel or the original meeting point. If you prefer not to return to the hotel right away, I’d be happy to take you to the CHIANG MAI Night Market, where you can enjoy local food, souvenirs, and live performances.
