When you step into Chiang Rai, beyond the well-known White Temple and Blue Temple, lies a hidden gem - Wat Nantaram. This temple is one of the few Burmese-style buildings in Chiang Rai, exuding a unique charm. Today, follow my footsteps as we explore this exotic little world. The Beauty of Wooden Carvings The highlight of Wat Nantaram is undoubtedly its all-wooden structure. The main body of the temple is built with teak wood, and the traces of time on the wood add a sense of history to the entire building. The high eaves and intricate carvings showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship of Burmese artisans. The small bell tower in front of the temple and the golden stupa complement each other, making it a perfect spot for photos. The Serene and Solemn Inner Hall As you step into the main hall, you are greeted by a golden Buddha statue, with walls adorned with traditional Burmese-style paintings. The atmosphere inside the hall is solemn, with soft lighting that naturally calms the mind. The temple also houses many ancient Buddhist artifacts, seemingly telling stories of the past. A Moment of Peace for the Soul Strolling around the temple garden, the air is filled with a fresh fragrance, and you can see exquisite small statues and stone paths everywhere. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, this place feels like another world. Sitting on a bench in the courtyard, quietly listening to the birds and the wind, brings an unparalleled sense of peace. Visiting Tips • Opening hours: Daily from 6 AM to 5 PM. • Address: Located in a small town in the direction of Phayao, about 30 kilometers from Chiang Rai city center. It is recommended to rent a car or take a songthaew to get there. • Tips: Dress appropriately when visiting the temple and respect local religious etiquette. Wat Nantaram may not be as dazzling as other famous temples, but its unique Burmese style and tranquil atmosphere deeply attract every visitor. If you are looking for a place away from the crowd where your mind can truly relax, Wat Nantaram is definitely worth a visit.

We were recommended this place by a local friend saying it would be great for desserts. Turns out they have all kinds of tiramisu flavours from traditional (with kahlua or baileys) to matcha and Earl grey. So we indulged in some tiramisu. Kahlua tiramisu is nice but nothing out of this world. Frankly speaking not really worth the price of rm 24 for such a small piece. Matcha Tiramisu was a bit weird. Some people say this is the best tiramisu in town but I don’t quite get the hype. #thailandtrip #couplestrip #travel

If you haven't decided where to watch the sunrise yet, we highly recommend this place. This is 📍 Phu Langka, Pong District, Phayao Province. We started our trip by taking a Sombat Tour bus to the city of Phayao.

Here, you can enjoy a full view of Pha Chang Noi. The accommodations in this area are quite affordable, starting from just a few hundred baht, including breakfast. You can choose from air-conditioned dome rooms with private bathrooms, standalone houses, or even camping. Pick the option that suits you best.

Phulangka Resort, the air is super nice.

It is a restaurant of the accommodation / cafe that outsiders can also stop by to eat. The accommodation has a great view, you can see Pha Chang Noi without anything blocking it. It is a semi-cafe accommodation. The atmosphere is very good. Luckily, today I went and saw fog 555 (I went during a holiday, so there were a lot of people). But it was worth going. It was like recharging my batteries and getting ready to go again. The price of the drinks is reasonable, not too expensive. The taste is delicious. I didn't have to wait long. Even though it was long, I waited because the atmosphere was so good. If you don't go, you'll miss out. Let's try it. ⛰️⛅️ ⛺️ Phulangka Le Balcony ⛱ Tambon Pha Chang Noi, Amphoe Pong, Phayao Province 💸 80-100 baht #phulangkalebalcony #cheevacafe #phulangka #PhaChangNoi #Phulangka #PhaChangNoiAccommodation #PhulangkaAccommodation #NatureAttractions #CafeReview

#tripfreeaccommodation #placestovisitinpayao #strawberryfarmpayao #beautifulphotographplaces #flowergardenpayao #flowerfieldpayao #strawberryfarm #reviewchiangkham #wayupphulangka #chiangkhampayao 🍓 Today we will take you to visit Chiangkham. Chiangkham is a small district in Phayao Province. The strawberry farm we went to is called "Love Story Strawberry Farm". The way up is the same as Phulangka, a famous tourist attraction in Phayao Province. 🍓 Not far from the Phulangka sign, there is a bridge over the Lao River. The strawberry farm will be on the right. It is not difficult to notice because there is a colorful flower garden here. You can see it from a distance. 🍓 There is an entrance fee to the garden of 20 baht per person. There is a service for customers to pick their own strawberries. As many as you pick, they will pack them in boxes. The price is based on the weight of the strawberries. 🍓 In addition, there is a field of yellow and red cockscomb flowers. There are many beautiful photo spots. There are also umbrella props for you to hold. If you like taking photos, you definitely can't miss this place. 🍓 In addition, they also sell food and drinks. So we ordered the papaya salad that the restaurant recommended to try. It was delicious, but a bit too spicy for us. There are also desserts like croffles and toasts with various toppings. If any of my friends are going to Phu Langka, try stopping by this place. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
