Unlock the mystical treasures of Chiang Rai on this unparalleled private tour. Journey to the fabled Golden Triangle, where three nations merge, bask in the radiant splendor of the iconic White Temple, and witness the power of nature at Mae Khajan Hot Spring.
At the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers lies a point of extraordinary geopolitical interest – the Golden Triangle. Here, you can literally stand at the crossroads of Thailand, Burma (or Myanmar), and Laos. This enigmatic tri-border area offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the confluence of cultures, histories, and landscapes.
No visit to Chiang Rai is complete without experiencing the ethereal beauty of Wat Rong Khun, more popularly known as the White Temple. A contemporary masterpiece, this temple defies conventional Buddhist temple designs. Its pristine, white facade adorned with mirror fragments gleams in the sun, creating a surreal spectacle. Inside, thought-provoking murals and intricate designs captivate the soul, making it a must-see attraction.
Take a moment to relax and rejuvenate at Mae Khajan Hot Spring, home to Thailand’s highest geyser. The therapeutic mineral-rich waters, set amidst verdant landscapes, provide the perfect respite. Feel the tension melt away as you witness the geyser’s majestic eruptions, a testament to nature’s untamed beauty.

In the morning, we’ll board our transport and head north towards Chiang Rai. Our first stop will be at Mae Khajan Hot Spring, Thailand’s largest geyser. After dipping our toes into the warm, natural mineral water, we’ll continue our journey to the White Temple.
Wat Rong Khun, or The White Temple, is not just mesmerizing on the outside. Once you enter the doors of this elaborate structure, you will see the painstaking attention to detail of Chalermchai Kositpipat, a globally recognized local artist and owner of this private art exhibit. His representation of Buddhist principles combined with modern pop culture shown on the inside is something you can only see for yourself – and must as photos are prohibited inside!
Next we’ll board our transport and stop for lunch before exploring the world famous Golden Triangle. The nickname was coined by the CIA in reference to this region, whose trading posts’ top product was opium. Join us as we dive deep into the wild history of this area and how it became one of the most notorious narcotrafficking spots in the world.
We’ll then head to the nearby Wat Phra That PuKhao Temple, which is situated by the river and is an ideal spot to witness spectacular views of the river, mountains, and Golden Triangle. If you’ve still got the energy, we can also take a boat ride across the Khong river to the Laos local market which is filled with fresh, local produce, before heading back to the city.
