The Golden Building at Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple)

this golden building represents the body, whereas the white ubosot represents the mind. The gold symbolizes how people focus on worldly desires and money. The white building represents the idea to make merit and to focus on the mind, instead of material things and possession.

Thailand is well known for its beautiful sunsets but most people associate them with the beaches in the south of the country. Chiang Rai can hold it's own when it comes to this majestic display of natures beauty. Watching the sun dip behind the surrounding mountains while listening to the sounds of nature all around you is the definition of peaceful and relaxing. Come see for yourself!

In many ways, Chiang Rai is a hidden gem in Thailand. Most people visit Northern Thailand for Chiang Mai and never take time to see all that Rai has to offer. From beautiful temples and shrines and cruelty free elephant sanctuaries to stunning waterfall treks and delectable food, Chiang Rai has it all. Consider joining our next trip, later this fall, and see for yourself.

The profits from Chiang Rai trips go to support the local village tribes in Chiang Rai, by creating employment opportunities.
We love the traditional costumes of the Akha tribe, and although they are one of the smallest hill tribe groups in Southeast Asia, Akha women are famous for their beautiful, elaborate and distinctive traditional costumes - Taking great pride in both their appearance, and culture.

One of the many ‘Out buildings’ at The Black House in Chiang Rai (or Black Temple as some call it) is the life’s work of Thai artist Thawan Duchanee. It is more that just a single house, there are over 40 separate buildings here, all filled with curiosities of the world. It certainly takes some figuring out, and there is probably no good conclusion you will reach! One thing’s for certain, it’s a unique and unmissable sight.

The clock tower in Chiang Rai stands out during the day with is vibrant gold colour and entertains at a whole new level each evening as there is a light projection show which occurs at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm each evening. The glorious array of laser lights and accompanying sounds in the background of whizzing motorbikes, speeding tuk tuks and cars is a must-experience.

Chiang Rai compared to its sister town Chiang Mai, has a more relaxed and down-to-earth feel but is never short on historical and cultural attractions of its own. Founded in 1262 as the capital of the Mengrai Dynasty, after Chiang Saen, today the city retains a strong Lanna identity, mostly through its impressive collection of temples, art, language, cuisine and music - And stunning views!
