Start the day early and depart from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai while enjoying a morning scenery along the road. The first stop is Mae Kha Jan Hot Spring to enjoy a natural hot spring and a cup of coffee before visiting Wat Rong Khun or famously known as the White Temple. There is time for you to stroll around and appreciate the intricate architecture and decorative design scattered around the site delivering religious and symbolic messages. Then, continue to the Golden Triangle and take a lunch break at a local restaurant on the riverfront of Mekhong River. Then, stop at Wat Phra That Pukhao to marvel at the panoramic view of the Golden Triangle where Laos, Myanmar and Thailand cross path before finishing the day at Karen Long Neck Village where you will be learning about their unique culture and ways of life.

Visiting Maesai at Myanmar border is not included in this program for two reasons: first, the experience of Maesai is not to some participant’s liking and second, crossing borders sometimes can cause an issue when returning. The panoramic view of the Golden Triangle at Wat Phra That Pukhao is equally exquisite and memorable. However, if participants need to cross the border to Myanmar, please reconfirm the itinerary with the operator.
