No regrets spending a little more for this accommodation! It’s so beautiful, the air is always so fresh and because I’m from a tropical country, I appreciate the cooling temperature a little more. Yes, it is on the pricier side but for a reason. Breakfast AND dinner included. The space is clean. There are no insects. Dyson hairdryer included. If you have a driving license, rent a car and drive up yourself. Quite a straightforward drive but it’s better if you’re an experienced driver because you need to go up the mountain. And some roads are not lit at night and the curves can be a little daunting. The view makes the drive worthwhile though. It’s really beautiful up there. There are so many lovely cafes nearby. Take note: none of them are halal certified! But we went there for coffees and the view. There’s an outdoor pool which we didn’t have time to use unfortunately. Will definitely come back next time! #doichang #chiangrai #thailand #mountain

A small town deep in the mountains of Chiang Rai. Myanmar is on the other side of the mountain. I stayed at Doi Phahi Homestay! There are many cafes in this town, and you can see coffee beans drying. You can also see elderly people wearing traditional Thai costumes here and there, but they don't speak much Thai. Being deep in the mountains, the view is great. You can eat on the terrace while looking at the view, which makes you feel very happy (moo ga ta at night, porridge in the morning). It's run by a family, so the children help out and it's a very friendly place! There are also photo spots and soldiers camping nearby, so that's also worth seeing. 🚩149 หมู่ที่ 10 Pong Ngam, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai 57130 Thailand #FreeHotelStay #thailand #chiangrai #chiangmai #HotelReview

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck #WatPhraKaewChiangRai 🙏🏽💚 This is the temple where the Emerald Buddha or Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn was discovered, which is currently enshrined at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, Bangkok. According to history, in 1897, during the reign of King Sam Fang Kaen, lightning struck an abandoned pagoda and a gold-lacquered Buddha image was found inside. Later, the lacquer peeled off, revealing that it was the Emerald Buddha. After the Emerald Buddha was brought to Bangkok, the people of Chiang Rai built a new Emerald Buddha instead, called the “Chiang Rai Jade Buddha” or the “Phra Phuttha Ratnakorn Nawatiwatsanuson Mongkhon”, which was built on the occasion of Her Majesty Queen Srinagarindra’s 90th birthday on October 21, 1990, and is enshrined in the “Hor Phra Yok” temple. 📍 Mueang Chiang Rai District Chiang Rai Province Amazing Thailand TAT Chiang Rai Office #Chiang Rai Travel #Chiang Rai #chiangrai #thailand #Secondary City Travel #Thailand Travel You Won't Know If You Don't Go #amazingthailand #planswithpan

#getgoing2025 In the afternoon, I visited Wat Rong Suea Ten, also known as the Blue Temple, and it was truly mesmerizing. Unlike traditional Thai temples, this one is painted in vibrant shades of blue with gold accents, creating a mystical and almost surreal atmosphere. The intricate details on the walls and the massive white Buddha statue inside make the temple feel even more special. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, from the dragon sculptures at the entrance to the celestial-themed interior. It’s a place where you can soak in the beauty of Thai artistry while enjoying a peaceful moment of reflection.💙 Why I recommend Wat Rong Suea Ten: Unique and breathtaking design: The deep blue hues and golden accents make it stand out from other temples. Peaceful and less crowded: A great spot to admire stunning architecture without overwhelming crowds. 📍Address: WRFR+9P Mueang Chiang Rai, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai, Thailand #Thailand #ChiangRai #BlueTemple

#chillandthrill If you’ve ever wanted to be surrounded by rolling hills of tea plants, the Chiang Rai Tea Plantation is your place. I took a little detour on my trip to visit this place, and I’m so glad I did. The landscape is stunning, with endless rows of tea bushes stretching out before you. It’s a peaceful, calm experience, and the tea itself is delicious, fresh from the plantation. The highlight for me was sitting down with a cup of tea and soaking in the view—perfect for anyone who appreciates nature, good tea, and a little downtime. 📍Choui Fong Tea Plantation, Chiang Rai, Thailand #chiangrai #thailand #teaplantation

#getgoing2025 The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai is unlike any temple I’ve ever seen. The pure white color of the structure, with its intricate details, left me in awe. The temple tells a modern story through surrealist art, with murals depicting scenes from pop culture alongside traditional Buddhist themes. As I walked through the complex, I felt like I was part of a living piece of art, and the whole place had a magical, otherworldly feel. It was an experience that challenged my understanding of both art and spirituality—an unforgettable journey through creativity and culture. 📍White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), Chiang Rai, Thailand #thailand #chiangrai #temple #travel #familytravel #myitinerary

The vivid blue color of the temple’s exterior catches your eye from a distance, but it’s the intricate details inside that truly take your breath away. The murals are rich with symbolism, and the massive white Buddha statue sitting inside is a vision of tranquility. It’s not as crowded as other temples, so you can take your time soaking in the beauty and the peaceful atmosphere of this stunning place. 📍 Blue Temple, Chiang Rai, Thailand #thailand #chiangrai #temple #travel

#thailandtrip #chiangrai Chiang Rai is a treasure trove of stunning architecture, with each place offering its own unique experience. Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) is truly something out of a dream. Designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple’s all-white exterior glitters in the sun, thanks to thousands of tiny glass pieces embedded in the structure. Every detail, from the sculptures to the murals, has deep symbolic meaning, reflecting the journey toward enlightenment. It’s not just a temple; it’s a piece of art that feels alive with creativity and spirituality. Wat Rong Suea Ten (The Blue Temple), on the other hand, couldn’t be more different. Its deep blue walls and golden accents make it feel vibrant and mystical, yet serene at the same time. Inside, the white Buddha statue creates a beautiful contrast to the bold colors, making the temple feel like a sacred space suspended between heaven and earth. It’s designed by one of Chalermchai’s students, and it shows how Chiang Rai’s art scene continues to evolve. Then there’s Doi Tung Villa, which completely took me by surprise. The villa’s Swiss-Thai design is breathtaking— it’s like stepping into the Swiss Alps with its wooden chalet-style architecture, yet you’re surrounded by the warmth and culture of Thailand. You can almost feel the influence of the late Princess Mother’s time in Switzerland in the way the villa harmonizes with the lush mountain landscape. It’s serene, almost like you’ve escaped to a quiet corner of Europe, but with the charm of Thai craftsmanship woven in. I can’t forget the Clock Tower in the city center, which is another masterpiece by Chalermchai Kositpipat. It’s not just a functional piece but a golden work of art that adds an element of magic to the everyday. At night, when it lights up and changes colors, the clock tower becomes the heart of the city, alive with energy and creativity. When I need to unwind, Mae Fah Luang Cultural Centre is the place to go. Set in a peaceful park, it’s the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of Northern Thai culture. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the traditional Lanna-style buildings give you a sense of the region’s rich heritage. It’s not just a cultural experience; it’s a place to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the harmony between nature and architecture. Chiang Rai is more than just a place to see temples— it’s a city where art, culture, and architecture blend together in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.

Renowned for its lush garden and elegant colonial-style architecture, this coffee house is a delightful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. As you step onto the property, the vibrant greenery of the garden immediately sets a relaxing tone. The beautifully landscaped outdoor space, complete with cozy seating and views of the river, invites you to linger and savor the tranquility. It’s a perfect spot for sipping coffee, reading a book, or simply soaking in the peaceful ambiance. The menu at Chivit Thamma Da is equally impressive, featuring a variety of expertly brewed coffees, refreshing teas, and delicious homemade cakes. I opted for their signature iced latte and paired it with a slice of lemon cheesecake—both were exquisite. For those seeking a heartier meal, their menu also includes a selection of Thai and Western dishes, all prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the friendly service and attention to detail, creating a welcoming and cozy environment. Whether you choose to sit in the garden or inside the stylish, vintage-inspired interior, the experience is equally delightful. A visit to Chivit Thamma Da Coffee House is more than just a coffee break; it’s a moment of pure relaxation amidst nature.

If you come to Chiang Rai and don't visit this bar, you're missing out. This is a true hidden bar, starting from the entrance. The first time you might be a bit confused because the entrance looks a bit eerie as shown in the second and third pictures. The bar is located on the third floor, and the atmosphere is very chic and extremely cozy. The fun part about this place is the special menu that changes every month, ensuring you never get bored. Plus, the main menu of the bar is just as impressive. Cocktails start at around 300+ baht per glass, which is very worth it because each glass is meticulously and perfectly mixed. If you want to try something new, don't hesitate. Just tell the bartender how you want it mixed or which liquor you're interested in, and they will gladly make it for you. What I like the most is the polite and friendly service. You can sit for a long time without anyone pressuring you to hurry up. With this kind of experience, if I have the chance to come to Chiang Rai again, I will definitely come back.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #Doichaang **A Visit to Doi Chaang: Coffee and Culture in the Mountains** Visiting Doi Chaang was an unforgettable experience, nestled in the serene highland village where some of the world's finest coffee beans are grown. The 100% Arabica beans, cultivated at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,600 meters, are known for their smooth, aromatic flavor—perfect for someone like me who enjoys the fragrance of coffee without the bitterness, acidity, or astringency. This remarkable coffee is the result of over 20 years of effort by the Akha and Lisu tribes, along with a small community of Chinese settlers, who transitioned from opium cultivation under the guidance of the Thai King and the United Nations. Sipping a fresh cup of coffee in the crisp mountain air, paired with a delicious lunch of traditional tribal dishes, was an absolute delight. The cool weather and rich cultural heritage made the visit even more special.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #flower The Chiang Rai Flower Festival is one of my favorite free events in spring, offering a vibrant celebration of nature’s beauty. The festival transforms the city into a floral wonderland, with stunning displays of colorful blooms that brighten every corner. What amazed me most were the tulips—an extraordinary sight in Southeast Asia, where their rarity makes them even more captivating. The meticulous arrangements of flowers, from orchids to roses, showcased the creativity and artistry of the locals. Strolling through the festival felt like walking through a living painting, surrounded by the fragrant air and cheerful atmosphere. It’s an unforgettable experience that highlights the unique charm of Chiang Rai in spring.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai Our visit to Wat Saeng Kaew Phothiyan was a mesmerizing journey into one of Northern Thailand's most exquisite temples, recommended by our local guide. Nestled an hour southwest of Chiang Rai along Highway 118, this hidden gem is renowned among locals yet remains largely untouched by foreign tourists. The temple grounds captivated us with a field of towering statues, including Hindu deities like Ganesha and Shiva, adding a unique cultural blend. We tried our luck tossing coins through the navel of a Buddha statue and marveled at the playful sculptures in front of the main prayer hall, where four deities, including demons with quirky modern touches like cigarettes and smartphones, held up a massive bell. The intricate elephant-headed nagas were unlike anything we'd seen before, and climbing the bell tower rewarded us with stunning views of the surrounding area. Wat Saeng Kaew Photiyan truly left a lasting impression with its beauty, creativity, and charm.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #dragon Wat Huay Pla Kang in Chiang Rai is a breathtaking temple complex that blends traditional Thai and Chinese architectural influences. The most striking feature is the massive white Guan Yin statue, standing 69 meters tall, which can be seen from miles away. We took an elevator to the top, where we were treated to panoramic views of the surrounding countryside through the eyes of the goddess. The temple also features a beautiful nine-tiered pagoda and a serene main hall adorned with intricate carvings. What fascinated us even more were the majestic dragon sculptures flanking the staircase—one male and one female, each with unique details that reflect their roles in mythology. How intriguing! The peaceful atmosphere and stunning artistry made our visit to Wat Huay Pla Kang unforgettable.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #bluetemple Visiting the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) in Chiang Rai was an unforgettable experience. The temple’s vibrant blue hues immediately drew me in, creating an atmosphere of wisdom, compassion, and peace.

Surrounded by glowing blue halos, the Buddha radiated purity and enlightenment, inspiring a sense of calm and reflection. Inside, the breathtaking murals told the story of the Buddha’s path to nirvana, reminding me of the power of inner peace and mindfulness. Every detail of the temple, from the celestial Garuda figures to the cosmic design, left me in awe of its spiritual depth and artistic brilliance.

#thailandtrip #chiangrai #temple The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai is more than just a temple—it’s a breathtaking masterpiece of art and devotion. I’ve visited twice, and it never fails to amaze me. Designed by visionary artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, who considers it his spiritual legacy, the temple has been under construction since 1998 as a labor of love and faith. Its pristine white facade, adorned with shimmering glass mosaics, symbolizes Buddha's purity and the brilliance of his wisdom illuminating the universe. The entrance, marked by the haunting "Bridge of Rebirth" surrounded by countless grasping hands, represents souls in torment seeking salvation, reminding visitors of the importance of virtuous living. Crossing this bridge is a powerful experience, symbolizing the journey from hell to heaven—once you cross, there’s no turning back. Open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM with an entry fee of 100 THB, the White Temple is a must-visit, combining spirituality and artistry in a way.
