Here are the BEST temples in Chiang Rai you must visit!

After temple hopping throughout our travels in Southeast Asia, we decided to visit a few of the more unique temples during our trip to Chiang Rai.

Our first stop was to the famous White Temple, also known as Wat Rong Khun. We arrived at 8am in order to beat the crowds. The White Temple is owned by a popular artist from Chiang Rai, Thailand who has grown to be one of the most influential artists in the country. We really enjoyed our tour of Wat Rong Khun and highly recommend seeing it during your visit to Chiang Rai.

Our second stop of the day was the Chiang Rai Black House, which is more like a museum than a temple. The Black House grounds actually consist of 40 buildings on the property. The Black House has costs at 80 Baht per person, and is open from 9am-5pm.

We then went to the Chiang Rai Blue Temple, also known as Wat Rong Seur Ten. We were excited to visit this temple because it was created by an artist who was a student of the creator of the White Temple. For that reason, there are many similar styles of art between the two temples. We absolutely loved this temple because of all the color and artistry. It was free admission as well, definitely worth a stop on your visit to Chiang Rai!

Our last stop of the day was at Wat Huay Pla Kang, also known as the goddess of mercy. The grounds here are a complex of buildings. The main site to see is the enormous white statue, The Goddess of Mercy, the image represents Guan Yin. Once inside the statue, we took a lift 25 floors up to the top. The walls of the top floor are covered with white stucco depictions of mythical creatures and trees. Looking out from the top, we had great views of valleys, mountains, forests and Chiang Rai town.
