White Temple, Black House and Blue Temple Full Day Trip

Visit the famous White Temple, Black House and Blue Temple of Chiang Rai, the very northern province of Thailand. Learn the history and top landmarks of one of Thailand’s overlooked cities yet worth the extra mile. Complete with round trip transfers on your way to each destination, discover Chiang Rai Province through its rich culture kept in the White and Blue Temples (Wat Rong Khun and Wat Rong Sear Tean, respectively), its notable design a significant shift from the traditional Thai golden temples. Venture further into the sleepy town’s prominent architecture in the form of wooden artistry at the Baan Dam Museum (The Black House). Built by nationally renowned artist Thawan Duchanee, a visit to The Black House property is guaranteed an extraordinary experience – witness a sprawling series of sculptures, displays, and installations of both orthodox and unorthodox Buddhist persuasions exhibited in the museum-slash-modern-home.

What You Can Expect from White Temple, Black House and Blue Temple Full Day Trip

Start your day with a relaxing immersion at the Mae Kajan Hot Spring, then head to Wat Rong Khun, the spectacular White Temple is known for its hauntingly beautiful blend of cultural and contemporary details. Designed by Thai National Artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple features an entrance with outstretched hands, a Predator jutting from the ground, as well as a number of other pop culture references within the dazzling white structure. Then head over to the Blue Temple, which is new and relatively undiscovered. The lack of crowds is just an added bonus, though, as the temple boasts a beautiful vibrant blue color.

Stop by for a buffet lunch at the restaurant, then head off to the Black House, a museum, and also the home of the National Artist Dr. Thawan Duchanee. There you’ll find a complex of dark and eerily designed buildings, filled with bones, skulls, fur, and feathers, displayed and arranged as though an exhibit, but also as homely ornamentation. It’s a fascinating immersion in the Thai north, one that captivates with its beauty, as well as its mystery. More City/Culture Tour From Chiang Mai.
