Chiang Rai Day Trip from Chiang Mai: White Temple, Blue Temple, Black House & Golden Triangle

A day trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, Thailand’s northernmost province, packing the best-known sights into one route. Visit the dazzling White Temple, Wat Rong Khun, that looks sculpted from plaster and mirrors, the Blue Temple, Wat Rong Suea Ten, in sapphire and gold, and the Black House, Baan Dam, with its striking dark-timber buildings. The route goes up to the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet on the Mekong, and stops at Singha Park with its tea hills and flower fields. It is a long drive, so you leave early and return in the evening; pickup time, lunch and guide language appear when you choose a date. Cover shoulders and knees for the temples.
