The BEST of CHIANG RAI White Temple, Blue Temple & Black House 🇹🇭 Thailand Travel Vlog

In today's Thailand travel vlog, we rent a motorbike and explore the best of Chiang Rai by visiting three of the most popular attractions throughout the city.
We start at the famous Chiang Rai White Temple, Wat Rong Khun. The sun eventually came out, and we had a wonderful time wandering the temple grounds before the crowds came in.
Next, we headed to Baan Dam, the Black House Museum. We meandered through the halls of the dark and edgy buildings, making our way through the massive 160,000-square-meter property and grabbing some black ice cream on the way out.
After trying bibimbap for the first time, we called it an early night so we could wake up and head to Wat Rong Suea Ten, The Blue Temple. We marveled at the magnificent paintings, decorations, and massive pearl Buddha statue before sharing a delicious bowl of coconut ice cream with butterfly pea sticky rice.
There is much more to come in our next two travel vlogs when we explore night markets and a mountain glamping destination that you won't want to miss! Watch our previous video here! • VIP BUS from CHIANG MA...

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for taking some time to check out our Chiang Rai vlog! We had so much fun exploring these incredible works of art and we really hope you enjoy the video. If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments below! Hope you're all having an awesome day! ✌😊

[@sonnywong378]

The white temple that you visit the person who rebuild he is not just local artist he is one of the greatest artists in Thailand.

[@mikeandashley]

We've since learned that! He is so talented and so are all his students. Such incredible art in Thailand.

[@roongrotratanapichetkul6122]

There are several great Thai artists live and work in that area including "Chalermchai Kositpipat" of the White Temple and "Thawan Duchanee" of the Black House. Both of them patronize local artists and craftmans to work with them, so they can continuously creating and maintaining these magnificent places.

[@mikeandashley]

That’s wonderful. I’m glad they share their knowledge of art with others to keep inspiring and keep the traditions alive! So much beauty.

[@mrraiarj]

The people there were super friendly , always smiling and say hi to you .

I like Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai is smaller than Chiang Mai but it have many beautiful mountains. I have been Phu Chi Fah 2 times in during winter time in Thailand where make me amazing time to see the nice sunrise with mist cover the mountain .It hardly to forget in that time.Furthermore, I will recommend you to go to Phu Chi Dao and Doi Pha Tang also. This place is not far from Phu Chi Fah .

[@mikeandashley]

Chiang Rai is wonderful! The countryside surrounding it is our favorite part. Phu Chi Fa is amazing, you’ll see our vlog soon!

Some people said, "Tawan Dutchanee" of the Black House represents the dark side (hell). "Chalermchai Kositpipat" of the White Temple represents the bright side (heaven). they two are friends since their school years.

That’s really interesting! We didn’t realize the two had been friends. Thank you for sharing! 😊

A disciple has a broader mind than his master.😁 You can video inside the church at the Blue Temple, But the White Temple does not allow that. 😆🙄

His paintings are incredible! We want his art to fill the walls of our home, when we finally have one! 😅😂

[@topgammar3763]

So cool! The plant is also known as humble plant. How did you come to find out the sensitive plant, (Mimosa pudica)? How did you know that it responded to touch and other stimulation by closing its leaves in the first place?

[@mikeandashley]

Ashley saw it somewhere I believe. She was looking down and thought she recognized it and told me. I got lost in playing with them and watching them respond. Nature is so incredible!

Hi. New subscriber here. How much time should i allot to tour the White Temple? Seems big. Also, ill be travelling with my 72yo mom in Nov. I wonder if we can just take the Grab or Bolt to go to the 3 main temples instead of getting a private tour/car for the 2 of us. Thanks!

You should absolutely be able to get around via grab and bolt. I think a few hours to really explore it. It’s big, but 3 hours should be plenty! Thanks for watching, we’re happy to have you along for the adventure!
