Lalita Cafe & Chiang Rai Temple(White+Blue) from Chiangmai lalita

Discover the White Temple, Blue Temple, and Mae Kachan Hot Springs on a day trip from Chiang Mai. Relax at Lalitta Café, a hidden gem with lush gardens and waterfalls.
Begin your journey bright and early with a pickup from your hotel in Chiang Mai. Climb aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned van and meet your friendly English-speaking guide, who will be your cultural ambassador for the day.

Make your first stop at the soothing Mae Kachan Hot Springs, located in a lush natural setting surrounded by green hills. This tranquil rest area is known for its geysers of steaming mineral water that spurt from the earth.

Take a few moments to stretch your legs and breathe in the crisp mountain air. Soak your feet in the warm mineral-rich waters—believed by locals to have healing properties—or take part in the quirky tradition of boiling eggs in the hot spring wells. There are small stalls offering handmade souvenirs, snacks, and locally grown coffee.

Next, visit the White Temple, a contemporary interpretation of Buddhist teachings, filled with unexpected imagery that includes references to pop culture, life, death, and rebirth. Cross the symbolic "bridge of rebirth" and step into a world of elaborate frescoes, mysterious symbolism, and breathtaking details.

Continue to another artistic gem—Wat Rong Suea Ten, more popularly known as the Blue Temple. This vibrant place of worship was designed by a student of the White Temple’s creator and shares a similar flair for creative brilliance.

As you approach the temple, its rich sapphire-blue color, accented with shimmering gold, will immediately captivate you. Inside, the main hall houses an ethereal white Buddha statue surrounded by detailed murals and cosmic imagery that blend traditional and modern Thai artistry.

Conclude your day with a relaxing break at Lalitta Café, one of Chiang Rai’s hidden gems. Nestled amidst lush gardens and tranquil waterfalls, this uniquely styled café blends natural beauty with artistic charm.

Lalitta Café is famous for its magical scenery, including dramatic waterfalls, fairy-tale stone sculptures, and colorful flower gardens. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a freshly brewed coffee, a refreshing smoothie, or a sweet Thai dessert.
