Discover the best of Chiang Rai on a full-day private tour with your own personal driver and air-conditioned vehicle. Experience the province's iconic temples, cultural landmarks, and rich ethnic diversity at a relaxed and customizable pace.

Begin with a visit to the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), an iconic modern Buddhist temple known for its brilliant white façade, mirrored mosaics, and imaginative sculptures that blend traditional Thai beliefs with surreal artistic elements. It's one of the most photographed sites in northern Thailand.

Next, head to the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), where deep sapphire tones and golden accents make for a visually stunning experience. Admire the artistic architecture, serene Buddha statue, and intricate murals that combine spiritual meaning with bold contemporary design.

Continue to Wat Huay Pla Kang, home to the towering white statue of Guan Yin (the Goddess of Mercy). Climb inside the statue to enjoy panoramic views from above, and explore the 9-story pagoda that combines Thai and Chinese architectural influences.

Afterward, visit the Black House (Baan Dam Museum), a thought-provoking collection of over 40 buildings created by renowned Thai artist Thawan Duchanee. Unlike the White Temple, this site explores darker themes through traditional northern Thai architecture, animal bones, and symbolic art.

Meet the Karen Long Neck tribe in a local village. Learn about their unique traditions, including the brass rings worn by women around their necks, and gain insights into their way of life, crafts, and heritage.

Finally, journey to the legendary Golden Triangle, the meeting point of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. Enjoy scenic views over the Mekong River, take optional boat rides, and visit the Hall of Opium Museum (optional entry) to learn about the region’s fascinating and complex history.

Throughout the tour, enjoy the comfort and flexibility of a private vehicle with a local driver who knows the area well. The experience can be customized to suit your interests, and photo stops, local restaurants, and cultural detours are all welcome along the way.
