We were trying to travel to other places apart from the too famous Bangkok or Pattaya which is more than familiar to Vietnamese tourists. Thailand’s most northerly province, Chiang Rai is located nearly 800 kilometers from Bangkok. The north of Chiang Rai borders Myanmar, the south borders Phayao Province, the east borders Laos, and the west borders Chiang Mai Province. There are numerous domestic airlines that operate this route such as Nok Air, Bangkok Airway, Thai Lion Air or other than that there are still Vietjet Air, Air Asia, etc. To get more information, you can click: Travel Indochina



Our first spot is Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) - a famous Buddhist temple designed by artist Chaloemchai Kositpipat since 1997.
All around the complex are caved with sculptures of skulls, hands and arms, skulls, severed heads handing from trees and other bizarre objects.
Just around 20 minutes from the White temple is the Black House (Baan Dam Museum) – the unique legacy of the late and renowned artist Thawan Duchanee, a son of Chiang Rai. The very first impression of this mansion was a completely huge and tall black traditional house knowing as the main building which is a large wooden structure. The black tiered roof has curvy metal points jutting from the sides.



However, Dr. Thawan Duchanee was not the creator, he just simply collected those expensive objects over the world.   


After lunch, we headed to the most interesting place – the golden triangle. This is the famous location where the borders of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar meet in the middle of Mekong River. From the viewpoint of the Golden Triangle Park you will see the two other neighboring countries, the Mekong River and the hilly landscape with its small villages and hillside temples. Bangkok Chiang Mai tour
We had dinner not in a luxury or deluxe restaurant but chose to walk around the night bazaar. It looks really like the night market in the Hanoi Old Quarter in the weekend but apparently, with smaller scale and different local unique products; beaded jewelry, hill tribe handicrafts, t-shirts, dresses and silk scarves and do not forget to bargain.
