Itinerary

  • Start of Tour (8 AM)

    Begin with a pick-up service from your hotel, and let your tour guide know where you'd like to go! This is a sample itinerary.
  • White Temple

    Also known as Wat Rong Khun, this stunning temple stands out for its all-white exterior, symbolizing purity and the journey to enlightenment. Designed by a legendary Thai artist, the temple showcases intricate details and captivating sculptures.
  • Blue Temple

    Visiting the Blue Temple is a true feast for the eyes, as you immerse yourself in the stunning blue hues and artistic brilliance. It's a must-visit destination for those seeking a different and enchanting temple experience in Chiang Rai.
  • Black House

    Unlike the typical temples and white buildings seen in Thailand, the Black House is a stark contrast with its dark and eerie appearance. The architecture, made mostly of teak and other dark materials, evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue. Inside the Black House, you will find a diverse collection of art pieces, sculptures, and artifacts that reflect Thawan Duchanee's deep interest in the darker aspects of life, death, and the human condition.
  • Golden Triangle

    The Golden Triangle is a geographical point where three countries meet - Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), and Laos. This region has a rich history, as it was once notorious for being a major hub of opium production and trade. Today, the Golden Triangle is a popular tourist destination, offering breathtaking views of the Mekong River as it flows through the borders of the three countries. You can take boat trips on the river to experience the unique meeting point of these nations.
  • End of Tour (5 PM)

    Drop off at your hotel.

Aryu was my guide/driver. I have entirely enjoyed my day with him. I wanted to know more about Thailand, Lanna and local cultures/history. Aryu shared a lot about these topics. Also, he customized the itinerary based on what / where I wanna experience.

Our guide was brilliant! He sent me a Whatsapp the day before to confirm pickup time, arrived 10 minutes prior, and was happy to help customise where we wanted to go. We paid him an extra 500 baht to go up to Doi Chang, which was absolutely worth it. Besides the White Temple, Blue Temple and Golden Triangle, we also got to visit the Akha Farmville and play with sheep, learn about coffee at the Doi Chaang coffee estate, and enjoy a delicious lunch with amazing views. Everywhere we went, he went above and beyond, helping us take photos/videos to capture plenty of memories. We had an amazing day (and night), thanks to Sammy!
