Start your tour with a visit to the White Temple, also known as Wat Rong Khun. Admire the contemporary and unconventional Buddhist temple designed by the Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. See the striking all-white exterior, intricate details, and surreal design elements.

Next, visit the Blue Temple, also known as Wat Rong Suea Ten. Admire the vibrant and striking Buddhist temple designed by the local artist Putha Kabkaew. See the vivid blue color and intricate artwork.

Continue to the Black House Museum, also known as Baan Dam Museum. Created by the late Thai artist Thawan Duchanee, it is a striking blend of art, architecture, and nature. Unlike traditional temples, Baan Dam is not a place of worship but rather a personal reflection of the artist’s interpretation of life, death, and the darker aspects of human existence.

Visit the Longneck Karen Village, home to the Kayan people, a subgroup of the Karen ethnic group. See the women who wear brass coils around their necks, which has led to their nickname, “long-necked” women.

Known for its lush green landscapes, expansive tea fields, and high-quality teas, it has become a popular destination for both tea enthusiasts and tourists seeking a scenic and relaxing experience.

Continue to the Golden Triangle, a famous region in Southeast Asia where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. See the view point of three countries on the mountain which is a beautiful view.

Finally, visit the House of Opium, a museum located near the Golden Triangle in Chiang Rai. Learn about the history, cultural significance, and impact of opium in the region, which was once a major center for opium production and trade.
