15th March 2025: Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong
Your day begins with an early 8:00 AM pickup from the Blue Lagoon Hotel. You’ll embark on a private tour with a vehicle, an English-speaking guide, drinking water, and entrance fees all included. The day promises a rich cultural experience as you visit some of the most iconic landmarks in Chiang Rai.
Your first stop will be the stunning Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple. This modern marvel, with its intricate design and mirrored mosaics, will leave you in awe as it represents purity and escape from worldly desires.
Next, you’ll visit Wat Rong Suea Ten, the Blue Temple. The vibrant blue hues and modern artistic design of this temple provide a striking contrast to the White Temple, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
From there, you’ll head to Baan Dam, or the Black House Museum. This collection of dark and symbolic artwork offers a fascinating, slightly eerie atmosphere that is a completely different experience from the temples you’ve visited.
Your journey continues with a visit to a Long Neck Karen village, where you’ll have the chance to learn about the traditions and lifestyle of the Karen people, famous for their distinctive neck rings.
After a full day of cultural exploration, you’ll travel to Chiang Khong, where you’ll check into the Teak Garden Resort. Surrounded by nature, this resort offers a serene and relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding after an adventurous day.
