The Chiang Rai City and Temples Tour offers a captivating journey into northern Thailand's rich cultural and historical heritage. Known for its tranquil charm and distinctive attractions, Chiang Rai is a must-visit for travellers seeking unique experiences.
Visit the main market area and Wat Phra Kaew Chiang Rai, where the famous Emerald Buddha (in Bangkok) was found in A.D. 1434. Next see the Wat Doi Thong, with its Navel Pillars, overlooking the Mae Kok River, and King Meng Rai’s Monument with its annual festival in February.
Then travel to Wat Rong Khun, also called “The White Temple”; inside it contains murals and paintings of the Buddha image and painted enamel ceramic floor. The outside was created with lime sculpture Thai designs decorated with small pieces of mirror that make the building sparkle and shine under the sunlight.
This tour is ideal for history buffs, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring Chiang Rai's serene yet fascinating atmosphere.
