Itinerary
Stretch your legs at a peaceful hot spring where steam dances in the cool morning air. Dip your feet into the warm, mineral-rich waters as the scent of earth and sulfur mingles with the fresh mountain breeze—nature’s spa in the heart of the hills
Step into a shimmering white dream at Wat Rong Khun, created by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Cross the Bridge of the Cycle of Rebirth into a world of mirrored mosaics, symbolic art, and spiritual wonder unlike anything you’ve seen before
Enter an eerie world at Baan Dam Museum, where dark teakwood halls house animal bones, tribal relics, and haunting artworks. Created by artist Thawan Duchanee, it’s a provocative blend of death, spirituality, and raw creative expression
Admire the deep indigo walls and golden details of the Blue Temple, where mythical serpents guard the entrance. Inside, a radiant white Buddha glows under blue light, blending ancient symbolism with modern artistry in a truly enchanting setting
Stand at the legendary Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. Gaze across the Mekong River at the Golden Triangle, once a hub of the opium trade, now surrounded by quiet fishing villages, hillside farms, and temples rooted in timeless tradition
(Optional) Visit the Karen Long Neck tribe, known for their iconic brass rings, vibrant weaving, and unique traditions. Prefer not to join? You can relax in the van or take a break at a small nearby coffee shop.

About Chiang Mai

Above town, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep crowns a mountain, reached by a staircase lined with serpents, with views across the valley.
