    Qing took a hair, to Chiang Rai, about 3 hours drive, our group drove by themselves, the White Temple has tickets, but I can't remember how much! It seems to be 50 or 70, anyway, it is ten yuan ~ photo super beautiful, friends have taken photos of their own life. At the same time, the field is also very clear, the cleaning is very good, we are all in the White Temple, there are many different experiences. My girlfriend and I kept crying in a quiet meditation. Although the White Temple is not very big, it is very spectacular and magnificent, and at the same time it is exquisite and gorgeous. I don’t know how to describe it. We said that it is the same as a fairyland! There are some small shops selling clothes at the entrance of the White Temple. I also went to buy a piece of clothes, hahahaha

    It is not very far from the White Temple. It is also one of the must-see attractions in Chiang Rai. It is open to the public for free without tickets. There are not many tourists. The overall temple is blue in tone. It is very photogenic. The main hall is very large and the roof is very high. There are many parking spaces in the temple. It is worth mentioning that there is a stall selling small pineapples nearby. They are very delicious! Very sweet, you can try it! The sculptures in the temple are very delicate. You can observe them carefully. They are full of imagination and beauty. Although this place is not as famous as the White Temple, it is worth a visit!

    大元宝在清迈😇大元宝在清迈😇

    Changneng village is actually a local ethnic minority settlement in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai. The biggest feature of this minority is that girls have to wear collars on their necks from childhood in order to keep their necks growing upwards and can grow longer (longer), because they are beautiful with "long necks". The girls here barely read and don't go out, so they stay in the village to weave and sell some special handicrafts. This is their job, and these are the things to make money. Our group of 8 people chartered a car to play, and the long neck is one of the destinations. If you come to punch in alone, it is not necessary. But the children were quite curious, we had 4 children who wanted to visit. There are tickets, it seems to be 150 baht, I forgot, probably so. It is between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, so a lay trip is played with the White Temple, Blue Temple and Black Temple. I personally feel that I feel a little distressed for these girls, but I also wish them that the whole environment in the village is very original. Hahahahaha, this is a thatched house and a windy wooden house, but sitting at the door, it seems to have a feeling of being with this nature ~ Suggestion Combine punching in and traveling together! It is also suitable for taking the baby together to let the child feel a different life.

    I went to the White Temple in Chiang Rai in the morning, and the Black Temple in the afternoon is more like a small building complex with many sculptures and other artworks. The themes of these works cover dark elements such as death and hell, and the tone of the works is mainly black, so it is called the Black Temple.

    Wat Huai Plakang is located in Rim Kok Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province. It is a beautiful temple located on a hill and surrounded by hills. You can see beautiful scenery. The highlight of this temple is “Phop Chok Tham Chedi”, which is a 9-storey chedi with an unusual pointed shape. It is a mixture of Chinese and Lanna art. The red roof has dragon statues on both sides of the stairs. It is surrounded by small chedis representing the 12 zodiac signs. Wat Huai Plakang is a temple that the locals respect and believe that anyone who visits it will feel like they have ascended to heaven. Inside the chedi, there are Buddha images and various arhats. Inside the chedi, there is a large statue of Guan Yin carved from fragrant sandalwood.

    Chiang Rai Night Market, in the local area should be a place where everyone will go to a small gathering, the food court is the most lively, the most people, and the food choices are super. There are Thai-style small hot pot, Thai barbecue, fried seafood, Dongyingong noodle soup noodle soup noodles, seafood packages are the most, there are also Thai traditional chicken oil rice, seafood vegetable salad, the magic is that I saw a Mala Tang, although he is called Mala Tang, But I looked at it differently from the domestic ones, so I didn't eat it. Hahahahahaha finally chose Thai traditional dining, and the drink was cheap. A smoothie was about 40-50 baht, that is, RMB 8-9 yuan. There are cheap foods to eat, and there are slightly more expensive ones. The average price will not exceed 100 RMB ~ My market lover likes to buy clothes, hahahaha, buy a Thai traditional tube skirt at the Chiang Rai Night Market with a white coat.
