more modern colorful temples, masterpieces! - Trip with Get your guide to Chiang Rai to visit the masterpieces of the white, golden, blue and red temple. Each with its own peculiarities, full of elements to discover! The white temple made of plaster and tiny mirrors that reflect light and create a magnificent glittering game! Ponds scattered everywhere to make the atmosphere even more beautiful. Path to reach the inside of the white temple passing by hands looking for water....from hell to the nirvana of paradise. All barefoot . beautiful experience! But the blue temple particularly impressed me! All blue even inside! intoxicated by the color. Definitely trip to do.

- Once you have seen the White Temple, erected by artist Chulermcahi Posi from 1997, you may find it difficult to find suitable qualifiers. It must be said that this achievement has something really special, unusual in its conception and realization. If your level of appreciation varies, you cannot refuse a high rating about the originality of the work, the correctness of the proportions, the layout of the place. Small tip for photographers: opt for the late afternoon for light (5pm), moreover the field is open from the outside for easy shots when tourists are out. Entry 100 ThB (free for +70 years) The golden pavilion on the water in the back left deserves a look. And also, do not miss the gallery, on the right as you leave the visit of the temple, where the works of the artist, mainly paintings, some of which have a stripping humor.

All worth a visit - Of all of them the White was my favorite. It is somewhat etheral. Seems like you are walking on cloud. The architect details are amazing. The museum on front of the temple is very good too. The black house is to say the least, different. Wearrived just before closing so did not have time to fully explore. Blue temple is more of a traditional temple and you could see local worksheepers there. Please respect the local culture and religion when going to temples.

Temples of amazing art - Driver was great even in a storm. The guide was very well knowledged and didn't hassle us. Some stops was a little hustle markets but all in all the places they took us was amazing! Also the long drive about 7 hours total takes a toll on you. Only reason for 4 star is the little hustle markets and forever drive (but you have no choice on that)
