6. White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) (1 hour) Marvel at this gleaming white masterpiece, a stunning creation by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Unlike traditional temples, the White Temple blends contemporary Buddhist art with surreal symbolism, featuring intricate carvings, mirrored mosaics, and thought-provoking murals that incorporate modern elements like superheroes and pop culture icons. The bridge leading to the temple represents the cycle of rebirth, while the interior murals depict the struggle between good and evil.

Built on a site once inhabited by roaming tigers, the temple is famous for its deep sapphire-blue color, golden accents, and hand-painted murals depicting Buddhist teachings.

9. Black House Museum Step into the dark and avant-garde world of Thai artist Thawan Duchanee at the Black House Museum. This controversial yet fascinating collection of over 40 black wooden buildings showcases intricate carvings, taxidermy, skulls, and animal bones, reflecting themes of life, death, and human nature. Unlike a temple, this space challenges traditional beliefs and offers insight into the artist’s philosophy of the impermanence of life. The blend of Lanna architecture and eerie, symbolic art makes this museum a thought-provoking and unique experience

About Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai er det nordlige Thailands kulturelle hovedstad, en gammel by med voldgrav af templer, markeder og håndværk, omgivet af skovklædte bjerge.

Den gamle by, omgivet af en firkantet voldgrav og resterne af murstensmure, rummer snesevis af templer, blandt dem det elegante Wat Phra Singh og den ødelagte store chedi i Wat Chedi Luang. Over byen kroner Wat Phra That Doi Suthep et bjerg, nået via en trappe kantet af slanger, med udsigt over dalen.

Top-ranked sights in Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon National Park, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Golden Triangle.
