Top Things to Do in Chiang Rai
- Admire the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)
Chiang Rai’s most famous landmark is no ordinary temple. With its whitewashed exterior, mirror mosaics, and surreal artwork, Wat Rong Khun feels more like stepping into a dream. A must-visit for photographers, artists, and travellers looking for something out of the ordinary.
- Visit the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten)
A visual treat in gold and cobalt, this bright temple features amazing statues and distinctive art. Less loud than its white equivalent but no less captivating, it's a wonderful stop to absorb northern Thai spiritual artistry.
- Unwind at a Tea Plantation
Head into the highlands to visit Choui Fong Tea Plantation, where green hills roll out into the distance. Sample freshly brewed oolong tea, sweepingly beautiful vistas, and serene strolls along the terraces.
- Golden Triangle Tour
Stand at the mythic spot where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. The Golden Triangle is historically rich and features river cruises, viewpoint tours, and overviews of Southeast Asia's border life.
- Visit the Chiang Rai Night Bazaar
Small but energetic, the Chiang Rai Night Bazaar is ideal for collecting hill-tribe handicrafts, trying street food, and watching an informal cultural show after dark.
- Tour Local Life in a Hill Tribe Village
Have a glimpse into the everyday existence of northern Thailand's ethnic people, such as the Karen and Akha tribes. Ethical village tours provide cultural insight and stunning handmade clothing.
