2025 Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Once the policy is relaxed, everyone is eager to go. 💕Thailand is really a place you never get tired of visiting. Especially in the winter when the cold wave is fierce❄️. Today I will share 5 magical buildings in Thailand that are small and shocking. 🌈These landscapes will definitely amaze you. I hope you can put them in your check-in list🧾! · 📍The Erawan Museum The Erawan Museum is a museum for Thai girls, located in Samutprakarn Province, Thailand. It houses the world's largest elephant god. You can see three pure copper elephants from afar. Gao Song is on the top of the building. There are 3 theme pavilions inside, which are full of mystery. · 📍Wat Arun Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand". Compared with the popular Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun is more worth visiting. · 📍The Ancient City of Siam The Ancient City of Siam is the largest open-air museum in the world🧐. It has built important historical witnesses and historical sites from all over Thailand in proportion✨. It can be said to be a microcosm of the ancient capital of Thailand. To this day, the park is still expanding. · 📍Wat Samphran It is located in Samphran, Thailand, about 40 kilometers west of Bangkok. The main body of the temple is a red tower with a giant dragon entwined on it. 🐉There is a giant dragon circling on it, which is very imposing. · 📍Wat Rong Khun, White Temple in Chiang Rai The whole temple is white, with shiny ✨ lenses embedded in it, which is breathtakingly beautiful. After crossing the desire gap between "hell" and "angels", you will reach the interior of the temple full of religious culture. It is worth taking a 3️⃣-hour drive from Bangkok. · ✅If you want to get more travel notes, remember to follow~ · Thailand | Thailand Travel | Temples | Thai Temples | Bangkok Travel | Thai Clothing | Thailand Free Travel Guide ·

For the free travel in Chiang Mai + Chiang Rai Transportation: I rented a motorcycle in Chiang Mai, as I am a rider myself. Safety varies from person to person; if you can ride, it's fine. For those who can't ride or are just average, it's advisable to maintain balance! Some sections in Chiang Mai, like Nimman Road, are quite challenging due to heavy traffic and narrow roads. As for the Thai JC checkpoints, I didn't encounter any during my two-day rental, but I heard that if you're caught, a fine of 500 Thai Baht is sufficient and you can continue riding. There are plenty of car rentals on the streets of Chiang Mai, with fairly uniform prices. I rented near my hotel for convenience, at a price of 250 Thai Baht per day (24 hours means if you take it at 3 pm today, you return it at 3 pm the next day) with a deposit of 3000 Thai Baht (instant refund upon return). For Chiang Rai, I rented a car to drive myself. It took about 3 hours to get there, and a bit longer, around 3 hours and 30 minutes, on the way back because it was dark and I drove slower. The cost was 4500 Thai Baht (also for 24 hours), with a deposit of 5000 Thai Baht. Although Thailand has right-hand drive vehicles, which I was not very familiar with, I got used to it after driving around Chiang Mai city for a while and remembering the turns. There's no expressway from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, it's like a national highway in China. Thai drivers are quite disciplined and honestly, they have better driving etiquette than in China, so it's quite safe. Just be careful when driving at night on mountain roads, as they have sharper and steeper curves than ours. Accommodation: I recommend staying near Tha Phae Gate in Chiang Mai for convenience, as there are many 7-11s around. Finally, I visited some classic places. I understand that Chiang Mai, like our Lhasa, has many temples and is a holy Buddhist land, so I mostly visited temples to worship. I went to the Wat Phra That Doi Suthep (which houses a relic of the Buddha), the Great Buddha Stupa, and in Chiang Rai, the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Black House.

Wat Rong Khun or White temple is the most beautiful temple that must be visited when travelling to the north of Thailand. It amazes with its beauty, mystical creations and graceful forms. This temple is very different from ordinary temples in Asia and is a modern embodiment of the author’s idea. A lot of meaning is hidden in this beautiful and unreal place… #chiangrai #chiangmai #thailand #temple

⚠️⚠️⚠️If the sun is out, don't forget to wear sunglasses, or you might get blinded by the brightness. 🛕White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) The White Temple, also known as Wat Rong Khun, was funded and designed by the famous Thai architect (and former painter) Chalermchai Kositpipat. The modern temple is decorated with fragments of mirrors on its pure white exterior, shining under the sun. The White Temple is not exactly a religious place, as you can even see various cartoon and sci-fi characters in the murals. However, you should still respect the local religious customs and avoid dressing too revealingly. When you arrive at the White Temple, you might feel like you're traveling in China, with numerous tour groups entering. Staff members with loudspeakers will remind you not to linger at the entrance bridge. Yes, the White Temple looks like heaven, but the entrance is like hell. Don't look back when you cross the bridge! The toilet in the White Temple is all gold, aptly named the Golden Toilet. It's probably the most photographed toilet. 🛕Photography tips Among the three famous buildings in Chiang Rai, the White Temple and the Black Temple are the most beautiful in my opinion. The Blue Temple is too 'cartoonish'. It's really hard to take photos on the bridge when it's crowded. If you want a wide shot, it's possible from the stairs closest to the exit. You can use decorations to block tourists at the corners. The terrace connecting the two main halls is a good spot for people-free background shots from either side. The open space on the side of the White Temple is also not crowded. 🛕White Temple in Chiang Rai Address: Chiang Rai Housing 1, San Sai, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai 57000 Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 Admission: 100 Thai Baht (cash payment at the entrance)

I prefer the Black Temple. The architecture of the White Temple is indeed beautiful, and every eave and bridge is very exquisite. But there are too many people, and it is noisy when you walk in. The white palace doesn't seem so pure anymore It only takes about 20 minutes to walk from the beginning to the end. The Black Temple is different, the space inside is quite large There are many temples and small markets to visit. The Black Temple is not actually a temple, but a museum There are many artworks inside, and friends who like it can stroll around leisurely. The experience is better than the White Temple. Many friends choose to start from Chiang Mai and visit the three temples of black, white and blue in one day. The journey time is longer and the schedule is tight I personally recommend renting a car and driving there. Chiang Rai is not only about black, white and blue, but also has Guanyin Temple and some cafes worth visiting. The correct way to visit Chiang Rai is to experience it slowly. 🏷White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) 📌Pa O Don Chai, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai ⏰8:00-17:00. 🏷Baan Dam Museum 📌333 Nang Lae, Chiang Rai ⏰9:00-17:00

Ever heard of a temple that should be put on a life list?Sounds exaggerated, but there is a real shock to it, it’s totally miraculous! Many people take pictures only to take pictures of the main temple, where the card is gone, but in fact the whole range is very large, is composed of many temples, the latter few photos I have put to a very grand Golden Temple😻 The designer of the White Temple was designed to express the meaning of advising good and abandoning evil. Once you enter, you must pass through the road that symbolizes hell. There are many skull bones on both sides and hands that want to be saved. The whole temple is pure white, which is a symbol of the purity of the Buddha and gives everyone a feeling of heaven, every part is well worth a visit! So if you go to Chiang Mai, remember to join this itinerary, you can choose to take a day trip to Chiang Mai, or stay for two days and one night🤍 #StarMalaysiaThailand City Attractions #OverseasTravel

Every time I come to Chiang Rai, I have to visit the beauty of Wat Rong Khun by Ajarn Chalermchai. Because no matter how many times I come here, I am still impressed by Ajarn Chalermchai's design. From the entrance, along the walkway, the building, the golden bathroom Before reaching the temple, we have to stop and take pictures, admire the beauty all the way ~ This place has been built for more than 26 years and is still being built. This time, many foreigners have come back to visit. Anyone who comes to Chiang Rai should try to stop and visit and pay homage to the sacred objects inside the temple.

#Cheap hotel DooWall Hotel Chiang Rai is a stylish hotel with art and cool, unique decorations. The hotel is a small hotel with only 14 rooms, but it has a highlight in terms of privacy. Customers will get a peaceful atmosphere, not chaotic. There is a private pool room where customers can walk out of the room and see the pool right away. It is also separated from the room next door. Customers who stay can also make an appointment for breakfast to be served in the room. The staff are warm and friendly and ready to help all the time. There is a mini bar with drinking water, fruit, instant noodles, and snacks, free for 24 hours for hotel customers. In the room, there is a gallery zone showing real paintings by famous artists from all over the country. If customers are interested, they can buy from the hotel. As for the room, the starting price is a little over a thousand, which is very cheap compared to the art that you will see and the privacy you will receive. I stayed in a pool access room for only a little over 2 thousand. I got to play in the pool with a view of the rice fields from the room. There is also a bathtub with a great view to soak in. It's a great value. Breakfast is served as a set, which we can choose from when we check in. We can also choose the time when the food will be served.

Hello, if talking about Chiang Rai, everyone must mention that you must come to Wat Rong Khun to see the stucco sculptures of Ajarn Chalermchai. When Maenam first came, she felt very excited. The atmosphere inside the temple is spacious, shady, and cool. In addition to paying respect to the Buddha, you can also walk around and see the paintings of the teacher. But if you like some of the paintings, you can buy them to decorate your home or as souvenirs. This temple is still creating sculptures all the time. If you have a chance to pass by, don't forget to stop by. #Chiang Rai #Visit Chiang Rai #Wat Rong Khun #Tourist attractions

#VisitChiangRai Wat RongKhun, a tourist attraction in Chiang Rai, see architectural paintings, an art paradise If we talk about landmarks that you must visit when visiting Chiang Rai, you can't miss this place, Wat RongKhun, this famous temple. But don't misunderstand that this is a temple for making merit and worshiping Buddha as usual. Because Wat RongKhun does not have monks residing here, but it is more like a large gallery that displays beautiful architectural art. Wat RongKhun is located in Pa O Don Chai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province. What makes this temple so famous is the design and construction by Ajarn Chalermchai to create Buddhist art of the country, to offer as a Buddhist offering. This was to offer to King Rama IX until it became known to foreigners under the name of "White Temple" or "White Temple".

"Jeab Thai Food" restaurant Today we had the opportunity to pay homage to Wat Rong Khun. We went to eat in that area. So we asked the staff or locals of the restaurant if there were any delicious restaurants to recommend. We felt that this restaurant did the right thing and it was delicious and had good quality. Plus, there was no time limit. It was 100 baht per person, including drinks. It was a local food from the northern province. We're not sure if it was Nam Phrik Ong or not, but there was Khao Soi, which was a local food. Nam Hom has green and red water, but it was Hebuboy. There was also plain water that you could press. This price included plain water. But when we went, the energy or the owner was very kind and gave us a bottle of plain water for free. We were foreigners who ate here a lot. Even tour groups recommended that foreigners come to eat at this restaurant. There are many menus. Anyone who wants to eat with rice can do so. We can eat about five or six dishes. We have rice crackers and fruits. The restaurant is right on the main road. We can park at the temple. Parking is free. Then we walk across a bit. The restaurant will be on our left. #Recommend delicious restaurants #Thailand #Chiang Rai
