Flights to Chiang Rai, Thailand

Chiang Rai is famous for its Wat Rong Khun among others in which it has nine buildings that are beautifully designed by the artist Chalermchai Kositpapat. Chiang Rai is the northernmost city in Thailand, located just five hours away from Chiang Mai. Founded by King Mangrai in 1262, it was a capital of Mangrai Dynasty before it got conquered by Burma and later usurped under Chiang Mai and proclaimed as a province of Thailand. Due to its proximity to the Golden Triangle borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, its commercial centre has been serving the region for years. The city is undoubtedly an interesting starting point for those who want to explore the northern areas of Thailand and is undeniably interesting enough to warrant exploring the city on its own.

What are the Top 3 Things to Do in Chiang Rai?

Wat Rong Khun - Also known as the White Temple among foreigners, the original Wat Rong Khun has been around for some time but in bad shape. Then came Chalermchai Kositpapat, a local artist that redesigned the whole temple and rebuilt them using his own money. His efforts do not go into waste as this magnificent temple is now among the most visited attraction in Chiang Rai.
Wat Rong Seur Ten - Also known as the Blue Temple, it is somewhat less popular than Wat Rong Khun or the White Temple, but that does not it mean it does not possess its charm. Upon coming over, visitors are guaranteed to be mesmerized with the variety of ornaments and buildings here which are painted in blue, with the design being done from the student of Chalermchai Kositpapat.
Baandam Museum - Also known as the Black House Museum in English, this museum is easily found from the city centre. The brainchild of yet another renowned artist, Thawan Duchanee, the museum features a handful of artworks being done by the artist himself.
