The artist continues to puts his religious belief and desire to enrich Buddhism in Thailand into his contemporary art design. Rong Khun). The great standing Buddha, also white, standing in front of the back, is also superb.

    3. Bann Dam (Black House) Museum 207 Km. drive from the middle of Chiang Mai city to Baan Dam (Black House) is the unique creation of national artist, Thawan Duchanee. Part art studio, part museum, part home, Baan Dam is an eclectic mix of traditional northern Thai buildings interspersed with some outlandish modern designs. Baan Dam is a thought-provoking combination of sanuk, the surreal and the sombre and whilst it’s fair to say that some of the artwork and themes on display won’t be to everybody’s liking, I’d still recommend checking out the Black House if you are visiting Chiang Rai.

Most tour operators will describe this as an attraction, but to be honest your driver needs a break half way to Chiang Rai, and will stop whether you want to or not!

    The driver drove very...

    The driver drove very very fast weaving in and out of traffic and almost on top of the cars in front of him, that part was not comfortable and it was many kms of it! The hot springs are nothing really but the temples are beautiful. The guide could offer more information about the areas we passed through on the way to the designated stops instead of having headphones on and sleeping . I think 1 day too much for this trip .

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and good suggestions. We will improve to provide better service. With best regards, Operation Manager,

    The best way to visit the temples in Chiang Rai

    If you want to visit the famous color temples without staying in Chiang Rai this is the better choice. All was perfectly planned, every stop in the day was incredible, we had time to visit each place and the lunch was delicious.

    Apple was the best guide!...

    Apple was the best guide! Learned a lot of history about the golden triangle, the temples and Thailand as a whole. Visited a Karen Village. Highly recommended!

    Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.

    How much does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.

    Is Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip?

    +

    Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai:White+Black+Blue Temple+Golden Triangle+Boat Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
