Outstanding Art Signature of Buddhism

The temple, a stunning creation by the renowned Master Chalermchai Kositpipat, stands as a testament to artistic brilliance. Its primary structure consists of a simple concrete frame with a wooden roof, yet the genius of the master transforms it into a breathtaking masterpiece. From a distance, the temple appears as if sculpted from shimmering porcelain, a dazzling illusion crafted through the clever use of whitewash combined with transparent mirrored chips. The outer surfaces, intricately adorned with white plaster and glass inserts, create a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere. This temple has transcended the ordinary, becoming a place of true enchantment.

Blue Sapphire Temple: Ronge Suea Ten

The temple, known as "Blue Sapphire," is a breathtaking marvel that features an entire complex of Buddhist buildings, each enhanced by the exquisite design of renowned local artist Master Chalermchai Kositpipat. His artistic vision is further complemented by the precision and expertise of a highly skilled professional engineer. Every square inch of the temple grounds captivates visitors, with intricate details and artistic mastery that are a feast for the eyes. At the heart of the temple lies a magnificent Buddha image in the grand hall, a focal point of serenity and beauty, making the Blue Sapphire temple a truly unforgettable experience.

Wat Huay Pla Kang

The Huay Pla Kang Temple is home to the largest statue of Guan Yin (the Goddess of Mercy) in Thailand. This towering, pearl-white statue stands majestically, reaching the height of a mountain. Visitors can explore the interior of the statue, with each floor featuring beautifully carved white plaster reliefs. Access to these levels is made convenient by an internal elevator.

Adjacent to the Guan Yin statue is the 9-story Phob Chok Pagoda. Each floor of this pagoda showcases different sacred representations of revered monks from across Thailand, as well as various forms of Guan Yin, all intricately carved from fragrant sandalwood. The journey through all nine levels offers an exciting and spiritually enriching experience for visitors.

Black Cottages

The Black House (Baan Dam) is a collection of 11 unique houses, created to showcase high-level works of art. These structures are the result of the expansive imagination of the master artist, Thawan Duchanee. Each house in the complex is dedicated to displaying art pieces that are thematically connected, creating an intuitive organization for visitors. This arrangement allows guests to easily explore and distinguish between the different themes, making the experience both engaging and enjoyable as they journey from one house to the next, discovering new artistic narratives along the way.

Hot Spring:

When traveling from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, a stop at this charming hot spring is a must. Located in the scenic northern region, it offers a rejuvenating experience with mineral-rich water sourced from underground. The hot mineral water is known for its beneficial effects on the body, making it the perfect spot to pause and refresh. Visitors often stop to soak their hands or feet in the warm, healing waters, leaving them feeling revitalized and ready to continue their journey.

Golden Triangle:

The Golden Triangle is the name given to this area, where the borders of three countries—Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos—converge. The unique geography, where the lands meet in the middle of the Mekong River, creates a stunning view, allowing visitors to see the riverbanks of all three countries simultaneously. On the Thai side, there is a vibrant market where people from Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos come to trade a variety of goods. Each item reflects the distinct lifestyles and cultures of the respective countries. Additionally, there are many other fascinating attractions in the area, making it a captivating destination for travelers.
