Itinerary
Rong Khun Temple is unique from other temples in that it has been constructed entirely in a radiant white color with sparking reflections from mirrored glass mosaics embedded in the white plaster. The temple is the idea of Mr. Chalermchai Kositpipat, one of Thailand most renowned artists, who wanted to build a temple all in white to signify the purity of Lord Buddha. The artist continues to puts his religious belief and desire to enrich Buddhism in Thailand into his contemporary art design.
Incase of booking Baan Dam (Black Museum) program 207 Km. drive from the middle of Chiang Mai city to Baan Dam (Black House) is the unique creation of national artist, Thawan Duchanee. Part art studio, part museum, part home, Baan Dam is an eclectic mix of traditional northern Thai buildings interspersed with some outlandish modern designs. Baan Dam is a thought-provoking combination of sanuk, the surreal and the sombre and whilst it’s fair to say that some of the artwork and themes on display won’t be to everybody’s liking, I’d still recommend checking out the Black House if you are visiting Chiang Rai. (This program not included case booking Lalita Cafe)
Chiang Rai Blue Temple or Wat Rong Seua Ten is located in Rong Suea Ten in the district of Rimkok a few kilometers outside Chiang Rai. It is a recent temple which is still under construction even if its main hall is now completed. It is above all its magnificent blue interior with a large white Buddha that marks the spirits. The paintings are reminiscent of the style of what you can see inside the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). The great standing Buddha, also white, standing in front of the back, is also superb. Between the White Temple, the Black House and the Blue Temple, Chiang Rai is definitely the city of colorful temples!
Mae Khachan Hot Springs is in Wiang Pa Pao, Chiang Rai. The thermal waters can be experienced at a number of locations in this district, but for the onward traveler this means right next to the main Chiang Mai – Chiang Rai Highway 118 (on both sides of the road). Most tour operators will describe this as an attraction, but to be honest your driver needs a break half way to Chiang Rai, and will stop whether you want to or not!
** Note: Driving go and come back take around 6-7 hours drive (distance between Chiang Mai - Chiang Rai 189 km.)
** Important: This activity is booking selected package "B" option only it's included Karen Village admission fee. Visiting one of the numerous Karen Long Neck villages in Thailand is one of the most exotic experiences on the planet. The mystery and beauty that sound the tradition of using brass rings for exaggerated jewelry is something better seen in person than in a book. We had ethical questions on if it these hill tribe villages would feel like human zoos, but thankfully we decided to visit anyway. It is a real-life National Geographic Magazine experience to have to see to believe.

Wonderful Chiang Rai Day Tour! A full 10-hour adventure packed with highlights. The Long Neck Village was a fascinating cultural experience. Both the White Temple and Blue Temple were absolutely stunning in their own unique ways. We enjoyed a quick relaxing break at the hot spring, and ended the day at the amazing Lolita Café with great interior misty Jangol design, food, coffee and dessert was available on Restaurant. Well-organized tour, great guide with good English and very helpful. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The guide was hard to understand, short and did not have a lot of detailed information on the temples. The driver was driving fast around corners making others feel unsafe. I would not recommend this tour again.
Thank you for your auditor normally we have profesional tour guide and always train and briefing every time before tour, in this case we talk with tour guide and give them warning verbal for the next trip (some guide lazy but we don't know on tour, then we have auditor like you to improved our srvice). Thank you once again for your commence. With ebst regards,
The guide and the sites were amazing. The only downside and why I am giving this a four is the transportation. Yes it had A/C but for such a long trip it was very crammed. I would suggest to anyone looking to visit these temples to make the effort and book 2 night stay in Chiang Rai. If you do this, you will avoid the 6 hour car ride(3hrs there and 3hrs back) You will also be able to reach the temples bright and early avoiding all the crowds.
Thank you for your positive comment we will keep this service and improve our staff for future traveler ever and welcome to come back again. With best regards,...
A very fulfilling trip. The guide was not only passionate, But Also really funny. He explained a lot of history behind each temple, and each creator. He cracked good jokes and took well care of us. Made sure we had water, ate when we had lunch and reminded us to always Ask if there was any problem or question. Felt safe and taken care of through the whole trip. Driver was Also very good and skilled. Would recommend everyone

Very beautiful, each with its own characteristics, especially the White Temple, which is magnificent in the sun and beautiful. The coloured fish in the pool are full of fairytale colours. The whole feel of the Black Museum is a handmade art gallery, in a large estate, with different architectural shapes. It's worth a visit.

The guide was friendly and kind♪ He also gave us a lot of advance information on the tour bus, so we were happy to have more fun at the tourist destination 😊
貴重なご意見ありがとうございます、またの機会がございましたらよろしくお願いいたします。
If you’re looking for a small group tour, skip this one. We booked it because it said small max 10 people. However they pick you up in a van and then bring you to a location where there is a coach bus waiting - over 30+ people. The tour started at 7am waiting for the van and was supposed to go 11 hours however we did not get back to the hotel until 9:45pm (15 hours). Lunch was provided however breakfast is on your own and so is dinner (ours was at the last rest stop -gas station). Try and eat prior or you will be very hungry and looking for food at rest stops. The temples were great but certainly not worth a 15 hour trip. Very long day with a lot of waiting for the large group of people.
Thank you for your comment we will investigate and improve our staff and service for future traveler. Note: However the destination and timing can not be change. With best regards, Operation team, Thailandlocaltour
