Epic of The Northern Kingdoms (C-302)

You will first be dazzled by the surreal purity of Wat Rong Khun (White Temple). After lunch, the road climbs towards the mountains of Mae Salong. Soak in its unique atmosphere, visit the Wat Santikhiri temple overlooking the valley, and stroll through the Chinese market with its exotic flavors, before a peaceful night in the heart of the tea plantations.

Today, history calls you to the mythical Golden Triangle. Feel the weight of history as you stand at the very crossroads of three nations, where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. Embark on the mighty Mekong River, feeling its powerful currents as you observe life unfolding on the different banks. In the afternoon, the House of Opium will pull back the curtain on the secrets and complex history of the trade that once defined this legendary region.

The grand finale of your adventure is a deep dive into the artistic soul of Chiang Rai. Let yourself be mesmerized by the hypnotic, sapphire-blue interior of Wat Rong Suea Ten (the Blue Temple). Then, feel a sense of awe as you stand before the immense Goddess of Mercy statue at Wat Huay Pla Kang. This dazzling conclusion to your journey will leave you with lasting memories as we begin the scenic drive back to Chiang Mai.
