Pick up early morning, then head to the North to visit the hot spring and white temple ( It’s must to see when you have been to Chiang Rai ! ) Leave the temple for a long neck hill tribe visit ( it is optional , price 500 baht admission fee. Please, pay for this activity by yourself if you would like to visit the village ) . After that we head to visit these places:
1. The White temple.
This is a truly beautiful, amazing and different one among all of the temples in Thailand. The temple is decorated with a white glass background. The principal Buddha image in the hall and buildings around are designed by the master craftsmen themselves, beautiful, unusual, very interesting mural paintings on the walls. A must visit temple in Chiangrai province.
2. Blue temple
The most unique & colorful temple in Thailand so far. It is quiet and serene. The buildings are Blue , blue , blue and blue> that ‘s one of the Amazing temples you must not miss.. !! There is beautiful paintings in the walls and a big white buddha inside the main building..
3. Blackhouse. ( Bandam )
The Black House (Baandam) is being built and designed by the Thai National Artist Thawan Duchanee. There are around 30 Black Houses at present and the intention is to build 42 in all (at least at present).
The buildings are in a variety of styles, but most have been made with the color black predominant, even the few white buildings only serve to highlight the black doors and windows. Inside most of them, whether open or closed, are arranged various artifacts, so that the whole acts as a museum.
But it is a museum with a difference, as many of the objects are related to death or dying. There are skulls and skeletons, skins and broken eggs and there are some more traditional demons and gargoyles too. There is also, to be fair, some grand scene carving, some furniture and other collectors’ pieces.
Note:
Lunch will be served at the local restaurant on the way.( Please, tell us if you have any food allergies.)
