Chiang Rai Travel Guide

Chiang Rai is the largest city in Northern Thailand, located at the junction of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, about 900 kilometers from the capital of Bangkok. The city of Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mangrai, for whom the city was named. Chiang Rai is a quiet, simple town with beautiful green trees and natural scenery. It is the gateway to the Daen Lao Mountain Range and the borders of Myanmar and Laos, also known as the Golden Triangle where all three countries meet. The area is home to pristine mountain villages, the beautiful Mekong River, as well as the world-famous White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and Black Temple (Baan Dam).

Three must-visit temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand that will scare you with giant creatures During our one-month trip in Thailand The most stunning thing for me is still the temples in Thailand. Today, what I'm sharing with you is Three must-visit temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Each one makes my megalophobia jump out . 1. Wat Huai Pla Kung Temple It has the largest and most popular Guanyin statue in the world, which is about 25 stories high!! On both sides of the stairs leading to the Guanyin statue, there are several lifelike white dragons entwined together, looking very powerful!! Location: Search for Huibakang Temple directly. Ticket: Free Opening hours: 7:00-8:00 . 2. Blue Temple Wat Rong Suea Ten This is a very famous temple in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand. The temple is not as big as others, but the entire building is painted with a highly saturated blue, with gold as a complement. At the entrance of the main hall, there are two giant dragons with their mouths open, which is quite scary to look at! Location: Search for Chiang Rai Blue Temple directly. Ticket: Free Opening hours: 6:00-20:00 . 3. Wat Rong Khun White Temple Baimiao, also known as Lingguang Temple or Bailong Temple, is a temple that is entirely white, looking pure and holy from afar!! In front of the main hall of the temple, there is a Naihe Bridge where pairs of hands are waving, which looks super shocking and makes me super scared!! When crossing this bridge, never turn back!! Location: Wat Rong Khun Ticket: Free Opening hours: 8:00-17:00
