The Black, White and Blue Temples: where modern art meets buddhism in Chiang Rai.



White Temple, Wat Rong Khun.  It is one of the most recognizable temples in Thailand. The temple outside the town of Chiang Rai attracts a large number of visitors, both Thai and foreign, making it one of Chiang Rai’s most visited attractions. It is a unique temple that stands out through the white color and the use of pieces of glass in the plaster, sparkling in the sun. The white color signifies the purity of the Buddha, while the glass symbolizes the Buddha’s wisdom and the Dhamma, the Buddhist teachings. Entrance 50 Bath / person.

Wat Phra Kaew, Chiang Rai .This temple gains historical importance as the place where Emerald Buddha was found. It is also one of the main centres of buddhist education. It’s famous as the origin home of green Buddha which graces the Emerald Buddha temple  in Bangkok’s Grand Palace. Free entry.



Wat Phra Sing, Chiang Rai. One of Chiang Rai’s oldest temples. Free entry.



Blue Temple, Wat Rong Suea Ten Temple, is an incredibly unique and colourful temple due to its beautiful blue and gold interior and exterior. This lesser-known temple is still not widely promoted, so there are less tourists compared to both Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) and the Baan Dam (Black House) Museum. The name translates as House of the Dancing Tiger: rong is the Thai word for house, suea for tiger and ten for dancing. In what may prove either to be a disappointment to some or reassurance to others, there are no real, live tigers at Wat Rong Suea Ten.



The Black House, Baandam museum . Baan means house and Dam means black. The Black House isn’t just one structure but a collection of around 40 buildings of varying shapes and sizes around a peaceful garden.  Created by Thailand national artist Thawan Duchanee. The artist uses all of his collections as a source of ispiration to his arts.  Entrance 80 bath/person



The Golden Triangle is in Chiang Rai province in the far north of Thailand. The English name comes from the meeting of Laos , Myanmar and Thailand but to the locals it’s Sop Ruak where the Mekong river meets Ruak river. These two rivers form a natural boundary between the three countries Laos , Myanmar and Thailand.

Nice guesthouse in a very good location in the old city of Chiang Mai. Friendly and helpful owner, French (also speaks Italian). It is situated in an internal street where there are restaurants and bars. Nearby, within walking distance, other restaurants, bars. The temples and night market can be reached on foot. Possible scooter rental. On request they organize group excursions by minibus in the day, transfers to the airport and also car rental with driver. Our room is a standard room. Recommended for those looking for a simple room in a very good location. Free Wifi. They do not accept credit cards (cash payment). Absolutely recommended.
