9:00 AM – White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)
Our first stop is the stunning White Temple, a modern architectural marvel in Chiang Rai created by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. This dazzling white structure symbolizes the purity of the Buddha, while the mirror fragments in its plaster reflect wisdom and enlightenment. It’s one of the most photographed sites in Chiang Rai and a must-visit on any sightseeing tour.
