This is a Buddhist religious site with a big white stature of Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy. It is situated north across the Kok River about 8.2 km from centre of town. There are three main buildings in the compound- the large white Quan Yin temple, a 9-tier pagoda and a white coloured temple. You can reach the Quan Yin temple base by walking up the stairs, which are guarded by white dragons. There are quite a number of steps to walk up, therefore it’s advisable for those with walking difficulties, to take the free transport provides from the parking area. Once you reach the base of the Quan Yin statue, you can go up to the 26th floor by an elevator after buying a ticket for 40 Baht. This payment is for the use of the elevator/Lift. Entrance to the temples here is however free. Once you reach the top, you will be greeted by mesmerising glittering white sculptured work of art over the walls mainly depicting Quan Yin. You can have a good view from the top of the nearby surroundings. The steps leading to the 9-tier pagoda are far less in number, than that at the Quan Yin temple, and is guarded by golden and green dragons. In this building, you can climb up the floors, one by one, while viewing the deities displayed at each of these floors. The other building here is a beautiful white coloured temple, with stairs again lined by amazing row of serpents. This building is stunningly beautiful and the background Buddhist chanting, in this temple, was mesmerizing. There are toilets which are clean and well kept. The surrounding area is beautiful and well maintained. Allow at least 2 hours to enjoy the sights and photography here. The place is bound to be hot weather, therefore carry a hat, sun lotion and lots of water. Best to have your own transport or have somebody wait for you. I would rate this temple as a must visit in Chiang Rai, along with the White Temple and the Blue Temple. The Baan Dam museum is about 12 km away and the blue temple in 6.2 km. #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#decembertravel#awesomepic#historicculture#museumquest#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#hiking#culturalattraction

#summervacation Hyped up for a reason-- this place is so beautiful! Ladies, make sure you're covered up on the arms and legs. They're quite nice about it, but make sure to bring a shawl or something to cover up. Also, to help with the flow of people, they've made it so you won't be able to stop and take pictures along the path. If you stop, someone will call out with a bullhorn and make sure you move along. The best tip I can think of is if you have someone take a picture of your back as you're walking along and do the same for them. Make sure to not only see the White Temple; there's a lot of smaller temples in the back that are just as intricate and beautiful. Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be slightly different. #summervacation

Lucky me to be here and seen the beautiful Lanna architecture which is highly depicted in this place, the Baan Dam Museum. The Lanna style roofs are amazing with different styles and designs.The black color of the houses have a mysterious effect. The collection of arts are eye catching and the images are unique, quite odd and deep. I am intrigued by the art's message. I think the artist is a genius. The place is well maintained and clean. When visiting Chiang Rai do not forget to have a look at this museum too. #summervacation #urbanexplorer #chiangraitravel

This place is so beautiful in white. Wat Rong Khun also known as White Temple in Chiang Rai is so famous and a tourist favourite. It is undeniably an eye catcher. The carvings in the main temple are so complex yet so detailed. Although in the main temple is prohibited to enter. Other structures inside the complex are beautifully designed too. Every angles is awesome to take. Even the structure of the toilet building are well designed. I am really amazed by this place. Been a dream come true to see this up close. A must visit when in the Chang Rai city. Go check it out this wonder in the Land of Smiles too. #urbanexplorer #summervacation

Mountains, historic Buddhist temples, and hill tribe settlements surround the magnificent Le Meridien in Chiang Rai. The hotel's two-level outdoor pool overlooks the beautiful Mae Kok River, and the spa offers relaxing massage treatments. Elegant accommodations feature a big balcony with a sofa that overlooks tropical foliage or the river. We stayed here for 2 nights, and the experience was great and fabulous! If I ever go to Chiang Rai again, I will be staying here. #scenicspotphotoguide#beautifulsunsets#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

The 1-kilometer trek to the summit of Phu Chi Fa is best done early in the morning (about 5 a.m.) to catch a glimpse of the sunrise. After that, you can explore the mountain ridge's minor hiking routes, which take you a bit further along the Thai-Laos border. All the way along, you'll have a fantastic view of the valley. Simply follow the dirt trails. Winding mountain routes, hill tribes, and waterfalls characterize the area surrounding Phu Chi Fa. From Chiang Rai, Phu Chi Fa is a 2-2.5-hour drive. If you wish to go on a one-day journey, you should leave Chiang Rai no later than 3 a.m. I recommend staying in the area for a night or two to view the dawn at Phu Chi Fa. #hiking#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Wat Rong Suea Ten translates to "home of the dancing tiger" in Thai, however it is more popularly referred to as "the Blue Temple" by foreigners. The temple has comparable embellishments to Wat Rong Khun on the outside (the White Temple). The interior is decorated in a brilliant blue color scheme with gold accents. The main area ends with a big Buddha statue, making it one of the most photogenic sites in Chiang Rai. Wat Rong Suea Ten, about 3 kilometers north of town, is a Buddhist temple. It is possible to walk or ride a bicycle in this area. On a tour to Baan Dam (the Black Hose) and Pong Phrabat Waterfall, I recommend stopping by Wat Rong Suea Ten. #roadtrip#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
