Chiang Rai White Temple, Blue Temple & Black House Day Tour

Itinerary

07.30 Hrs. Pick up from your hotel lobby and depart to Chiang Rai (3-hour drive) along picturesque mountain roads. On the way, stop at the Mae Kachan Hot Spring in Mae Kachan Town for a short break, where you can watch locals boiling quail eggs in the naturally heated water.

Arrive in Chiang Rai and visit Wat Rong Khun (White Temple), designed by a celebrated national artist. Its distinctive white temple building, adorned with fragments of reflective glass, can be seen shimmering from afar.

Lunch is provided at a local restaurant.

Continue to Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple), designed by a local Chiang Rai artist who once worked on the White Temple. Its striking blue temple building reflects a new philosophy of Buddhist art.

Depart for the Black House (Baan Dam Museum), the work of a national artist celebrated for his striking sculptures crafted from horns, bones, and reptile skins, alongside traditional African sculptures, old boats, and Lanna-style woodcraft displayed across 32 mostly black-wood, Lanna-style pavilions. Afterwards, return to Chiang Mai in the late afternoon.
