Visit the White Temple in Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai is a city near the border with Myanmar and Laos in Northern Thailand. It is mainly famous for its lush nature and amazing temples. Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple, is one of the main attractions. The architecture is breathtaking, but the biggest surprise awaits indoors. It combines with ability traditional Buddhist art with modern pop-culture characters like Superman or Harry Potter. We highly recommend this unique destination.

If you’re going to Thailand in November, you can’t miss the Lantern Festival! Several cities organized them, but the most famous is the Yi Peng in Chiang Mai. People launch lanterns in the air to send away their bad luck for the year to come.
Wander through Rice paddies
Rice paddies are fascinating, if only for their ingenious design! There are several rice fields around Chiang Mai, but we recommend those in Pa Pong Piang as they are one of the most beautiful in Thailand. For an authentic and cheaper experience, bus trips are available (approximately 4 hours long).

Stop in Lampang
On your way to, or back, from Chiang Mai, we recommend a stop in Lampang. Less crowded than Chiang Mai, it is also home to lesser known stunning temples, We highly recommend going to Wat Phra Bat Pupha Daeng where you can admire the perfect blend of nature and art.
