Be captivated by the incredible sights of Chiang Rai in this day exploration. Start your day with a relaxing immersion at the Mae Khajan Hot Spring, then head to Wat Rong Khun, the spectacular White Temple known for its hauntingly beautiful blend of cultural and contemporary details. Designed by Thai National Artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple features an entrance with outstretched hands, Predator jutting from the ground, as well as a number of other pop culture references within the dazzling white structure. Then head over to the Blue Temple, which is new and relatively undiscovered. The lack of crowds is just an added bonus, though, as the temple boasts a beautiful vibrant blue color. Stop by for a hearty international buffet lunch at Wiang indra Riverside Resort or Lan Mai Hom Restaurant, then head off to the Black House, a museum and also the home of the National Artist Dr. Thawan Duchanee. There you'll find a complex of dark and eerily designed buildings, filled with bones, skulls, fur and feathers, displayed and arranged as though an exhibit, but also as homely ornamentation. It's a fascinating immersion in the Thai north, one that captivates with its beauty, as well as its mystery.
