Wat Rong Khun

Next on our journey is Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple. This is not just any temple; it’s a work of art created by a famous Thai artist. The temple stands out with its bright white color and shiny glass pieces in the plaster. As you walk around, you’ll see intricate designs and sculptures that are very different from typical Thai temples. Inside, the artwork mixes traditional and modern themes, making you think and reflect. It’s a place that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. We will also enjoy a local Thai lunch close to the white temple.

  • Excellent Day Trip to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle

    Gene15241,,Feb 15, 2026

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    This was a long day, but well worth it to see a very different side of Thailand from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and the beach destinations. The itinerary covered the Chiang Rai temples, the Black House Museum, a visit to a Karen village, and the Golden Triangle boat tour, making for a full but well-paced experience. The temples were beautiful and very much Instagram-worthy, each with its own distinct style. The stop at the Karen village was interesting and offered a glimpse into a different culture and way of life. The Golden Triangle boat ride was a highlight, giving us the chance to see Laos and Myanmar from the river—and even briefly travel through Laotian territorial waters without officially entering the country. Pick-up and drop-off were on time, which was especially appreciated given the length of the day. Overall, a well-organized tour that delivers a lot in one day and is a great option if you want to explore northern Thailand beyond the usual tourist hubs.

  • Informative tour.

    It’s a long day, but well worth it. Fawn did a nice job. The van was crowded & I gave it a 4 as I was sitting towards the back. It would have been nice if the people in the front had to switch seats with those in the back.

  • Beautiful, but only for tourists

    Anyone who wants to see it should note that all the temples visited are just beautiful museums for tourists, they are not real temples. The village of long-necked women is just a market for tourists, where long-necked women sell souvenirs.

  • Our guide Fon made this long day worthwhile

    Although it was a long day, this was well worth the day we spent visiting all the places. The white temple and blue temples were amazing! The golden triangle with boat ride was very informative. Thank you Fon for an informative tour.

    A magical journey through colors and culture — the White Temple shining like a dream, the Blue Temple calm as the sky, and the Golden Triangle whispering stories of three lands. Unforgettable and full of wonder. 🌞🍀💫

    I recently took a day tour to a few of the stunning temples in Chiang Rai, and it was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing rich history, cultural insights.

    The guide was very enthusiastic and open to questions throughout the day, the temples are very impressive and you get plenty of time to explore them. The lunch was diverse and more than enough, and it was very cool to actually hit the water at the Golden Triangle. It's a long day but it's worth it!

  • Fantastic!
