    "The temple lived up to its picturesque portrayal, though I recommend timing your visit to avoid the crowds. The site was overwhelmingly packed, detracting from its potential tranquility and giving it a heavily touristic feel. Fortunately, my photography skills—and evidently those of others sharing their experiences online—managed to capture its essence, presenting a serene facade that contrasted sharply with the bustling atmosphere I encountered."

    Highlights: The original name of the White Temple is Bailong Temple, also known as Longkun Temple, Lingguang Temple and Walongkun. From a distance, the temple appears to be constructed of gleaming porcelain, but upon stepping in, the illusion is created by white paint and glass sequins. The White Temple is made of plain white and bordered by a silver mirror, which quietly reflects the dazzling light. It has no place inlaid with gold, silver and white like a fibrous hand, reaching out to the sky softly. The White Temple adds a lot of modern elements. According to the designer, white is chosen because white just symbolizes the purity of the Buddha, and the omnipresent mirror means that the wisdom of the Buddha illuminates the entire universe.

    "At the Golden Triangle, Laos side is a story, the land of heaven, special wealth district, you can travel every day."
    Chiang Saen
    >100km from Chiang Mai
    Highlights: The Golden Triangle is located on the Myanmar-Thailand-Old border. It is named because the Mekong River on the Thai-Laos border and the Ruak River on the Thai-Myanmar border meet here. A long time ago, local residents lived by hunting, and later they began to grow opium poppy on a large scale for huge profits. After years of rectification by the Thai government, it is no longer the troubled place where gunpowder smoke was everywhere. The mountains here are green, the red-roofed huts scattered here and there, coupled with the mysterious atmosphere that has not been gone for a long time, is the first choice for many tourists to visit Chiang Rai. The Golden Triangle is a triangular area located in the border area of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia and is now a tourist attraction. There are souvenir shops, jade jewelry shops and restaurants in the triangle area. It is usually a boat trip to learn about some friendly situations in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. In addition, there are many giant Buddha statues on the shore, which are worth seeing.

    "I went to the White Temple in Chiang Rai in the morning. In the afternoon, this is the Black Temple. In fact, it is more like a small complex with many sculptures and other artworks. The theme of these works covers dark elements such as death, hell and so on, and the tone of the works is mainly black, so it is called the Black Temple."
    Nang Lae.Amphoe Mueang Chiang Rai
    >100km from Chiang Mai
    Highlights: The Black Temple was designed and built by Thai ghost artist Thawan Duchanee for 36 years. The Black Room Museum has collected a large number of exhibits about death and hell. It combines animal bones from ancient times, hunting tools of primitive peoples, antiques and specimens, etc., into various works of art with modern artistic techniques. The black temple is very different from the white temple, showing the vast difference between heaven and hell, good and bad. The difference between the palace style of the Black Temple and the White Temple is that there are more than a dozen buildings decorated with horns of different sizes scattered around the Black Temple. The artworks are all based on black, so it is also called the Black Room and the Black Room Museum.
