Serenity on the Mae Kok River
The Mae Kok River offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Rai. I enjoyed a leisurely boat ride that allowed me to soak in the stunning natural beauty of the lush landscapes and charming villages along the banks. The gentle flow of the river combined with the tranquil surroundings made for a perfect day of relaxation. Stopping at a riverside café for some local snacks was the icing on the cake. This experience was a highlight of my trip and a great way to connect with nature of Chiang Rai itinerary. -

Unique Artistry at the Black House
Visiting the Black House in Chiang Rai was an unforgettable experience! The unique blend of architecture and artistry is unlike any other. Each structure tells its own story, filled with intricate details and a striking use of dark materials. The artwork displayed, particularly the striking animal motifs, captivated my imagination. The surrounding gardens added to the overall atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for photography. This place is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and those looking for something off the beaten path of Chiang Rai travel itinerary.
