Wat Rong Khun is a world-famous tourist attraction. It is a beautiful white temple... located in Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province. It was renovated by Ajarn Chalermchai Khositphiphat, a Chiang Rai painter who is a National Artist in Visual Arts, to be a beautiful religious site with architecture and art, full of graceful and delicate patterns. The chapel is also decorated with beautiful, shiny silver glass. There are many tourists who come to visit, take pictures, and enjoy the art because it is really beautiful. 🌼🙏🏻.. No matter how many times I go, there are always a lot of people. When taking pictures at Wat Rong Khun without anyone, I recommend coming before it opens for visitors and being one of the first to enter. Or come in the evening when there will be fewer people. Otherwise, there will be a long queue, you will have to wait in line, and it will be difficult to find a good angle to take pictures. ✨ Opening and closing hours: Every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM

For green tea lovers, don't miss it because this place is famous for its green tea menu.

Ryokan Cafe, which has a very Japanese feel!! Because the owner used to study in Japan and loves the culture, cartoons, etc., so he opened a cafe and accommodation that looks like the Japanese countryside. He pays a lot of attention to details. Sit and relax for a long time, walk and take pictures, and have fun. Ryokan, accommodation and cafe are on opposite sides of the road. The accommodation has a place to eat, snacks, and bicycles for us to ride around the area. Near the cafe, there is a Japanese cartoon character, Totoro, a green character standing with a big belly, very cute.

This time in Chiang Rai, I ate Nam Ngiao. It was delicious. I like minced pork in chunks like this. Khao Kan Chin was delicious, but the fried garlic that was sprinkled on top was too little, making it lose its moisture. You have to come to this shop. It's a family-run shop...but the service is very warm. I went when the shop was about to close, but they were still welcoming and polite. They spoke well and were lovely, from (not sure if) the grandmother to the uncle to the teenage male grandson...the taste...was excellent...when you come to Chiang Rai, you have to eat Chiang Rai Nam Ngiao. It's rich, not too oily, not too spicy...Thank you very much for driving and finding this shop and deciding to stop by. The price (if I remember correctly) was 35-45 baht...I wish they would open in front of my house.

Soft opening!! A cafe that is good in every way _________________________ Location 📍 The shop is located in the Pruksachat Village, San Sai. At the entrance of the alley is the AIA office. There are many beautiful photo spots, from outside the shop, to the entrance, inside the shop. It is very beautiful. But I must say that the shop is currently in a soft opening. There are still staff and technicians working. The shop will officially open on July 18th. When you enter the shop, the air conditioning is very cool. There are many tables to sit at in many corners. There are many cakes to choose from. Behind the shop, there is a separate kitchen for savory food and desserts. Awesome!! If you want to come early, you can come. The shop opens at ⏰ 7:00-18:00 #Chiang Rai #Where to eat #chiangrai #Chiang Rai food #Chiang Rai attractions #Chiang Rai cafe #cafechiangrai #cafe #goodcafe

Doi Pha Hee, a winter tourist destination that many people may be familiar with and have heard the name of. But for those who have never known it, today we will get to know it. I must say that the charm of this mountain, whether it is the famous coffee or the magnificent view amidst the light fog. This place is known as a source of good coffee, famous in Chiang Rai. Here, they select good quality coffee beans and send them to various coffee shops throughout Thailand. In addition, they also export them abroad. It is not just the coffee that is famous, but the beautiful view is also outstanding. Because the area is in Mae Sai District, bordering Thailand and Myanmar, near Doi Tung Palace, this place belongs to the Akha hill tribe community, Ban Pha Hee. The main occupation is farming, whether it is growing tea leaves or coffee. This makes the coffee and tea here a famous product that you must try because it is authentic and comes directly from the source. Importantly, Doi Pha Hee coffee has its own unique characteristics: clean, fragrant, strong and smooth, with a sweet taste similar to fruit.

This morning at Phu Chi Dao, the top mountain with the most beautiful sea of ​​fog ☁️❤️ 🚘 The rental fee to go up the mountain is 100 baht per person. It's really worth it. You have to go there 😊 I want to say that the way up is very steep, high, steep, and brutal 😁✌️ I have to explain first that before going up to the top of the mountain, A staff will come to ask at the tent whether to go or not, how many people are going. 🕟They will set a time for you. The journey takes about 20 minutes. The road is really brutal. The time we went was 05:20. It might be a bit late. Going at this time is considered okay. We made it in time to see the thick, fluffy fog. The sunrise was very beautiful. 🌤️ 🪹But before seeing the impressive image, the journey up was very tiring. But it was worth it. It healed my heart the most. 😊 It was a very worthwhile trip. So much fun. The trip that made an appointment did not fall. I got to meet some cute younger siblings.❤️ The clip along the way up was also very beautiful. I will post it for my friends to follow me up this mountain. It's really beautiful. 🫰
