Another architectural marvel here is Chiang Rai. Beautiful structure and outstanding craftsmanship say it all. I was super impressed with the dragons guarding the main temple. The area is smaller compared to the White Temple, but it’s good to come early if you want to avoid the crowd. We reached early morning and were happy (peacefully got the pictures). And please do try the ice cream with pea-flower sticky rice, served at the shops adjacent to the temple. #weekendgetaways
