We decided to visit Chiang Rai for the day! We got the Greenbus from Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 3 to Chiang Rai. We bought the tickets online which made things nice and easy. After arriving in Chiang Rai, we visited 3 main locations. The White Temple, Blue Temple & Black House. Both the White Temple and Blue Temple have amazing architecture and a great place to explore. The Black House is a very unique museum! The sculptures and images are unusual, weird and surreal! 100% worth a visit and we greatly enjoyed our day in Chiang Rai! We got the bus from Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1 back to Chiang…

After visiting 7 temples located in the city we wanted to head to the famous temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep located on top of a hill overlooking Chiang Mai City. As it is a little out of the city we got a Songthaew (Red Bus) from Huay Kaew Road near the Zoo. There you can get a Songthaew to Doi Suthep Temple for 40 BHT one way. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is a beautiful temple that is 100% worth a visit. The main section of the temple decorated in beautiful golden statues. You can also try the prayer sticks to see your fortune as well as write on…

Our first full day in Chiang Mai. We flew in from Pattaya to spend a week in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. Our accommodation is located in the centre of the Old City, giving us a great location to explore the best of Chiang Mai. We decided to wanted round the city which resulted in us visiting 7 temples in total. We went to Wat Dab Pai, Wat Phra Singh, Culture is everywhere in this great city and it was a great way to start a week long trip here!

For our second day in Pattaya we headed to the Sanctuary of Truth. It is a beautiful wooden building where we had a guided tour to learn more about the construction and history. We were also able to try some wood carving and watch a traditional Thai Dance show. Great place to visit if you are in Pattaya. We also went to the Bid Buddha which is overlooking Pattaya city. Enjoyed looking around as well as walking up the hill (not recommended!) and had evening meal back in Pattaya city. Our last day we got a mini bus to U-Tapao International Airport for our evening flight to Chiang Mai!
