Blue Temple Chiang Rai: Next, we’ll journey to an equally impressive and even newer Chiang Rai blue temple translating as ‘dancing tiger’.

The White Temple: One of Thailand’s most bizarre and impressive sights is Wat Rong Khun.

Wander past the white spires and peaceful pools to enter the temple and you’ll find minion-related artwork inside... and even an ode to Michael Jackson! Yup, it’s weird, wonderful and well worth a visit.

We’ll break up the long three-hour drive at the DOI CHAANG Caffè Mae Suai to relax and maybe eat a snack.

A convenient meetup point located in the center of Chiang Mai city, easily accessible for everyone.
