Review of a trip to Wat Rong Khun 🙏🏽

It is one of the most distinctive and unique tourist attractions in Chiang Rai Province. Designed and built by the famous Thai artist, Professor Chalermchai Kositpipat, this temple is a beautiful example of contemporary Thai architecture that perfectly combines the beauty of traditional art with new styles. Highlights of Wat Rong Khun - White Ubosot, outstanding with bright white and intricate stucco patterns, conveying the purity of the Buddha. The use of decorative mirrors reflects sunlight, creating an indescribable beauty. - Ordination Bridge, a bridge that crosses the pond of hell to the Ubosot, symbolizing the transcendence of defilements and suffering to peace and brightness. In this area, there is a stucco figure of an outstretched hand, representing the suffering in hell. - Buddha statue inside the Ubosot, decorated with murals that convey human struggles and what is happening in the world today, as well as various symbols that reflect modern events and ideas. - Art Gallery, a collection of Professor Chalermchai's artworks, both beautiful and meaningful paintings and sculptures. - Artistic Bathroom, a bathroom building decorated in bright gold, reflecting the world in its beauty and perfection, clearly contrasting the white color of the Ubosot. Admission fee and opening hours • Admission fee: 50 baht per person for foreign tourists, free for Thais • Opening hours: Daily from 08:00 to 17:00 Precautions and recommendations • Dress appropriately as it is a sacred place • Do not take photos inside the chapel #VisitChiangRai #ThaiTemple #ChiangRai #WatRongKhun #VisitTemple

Start your Chiang Rai trip with ease by taking Sombat Tour's VIP Wiang Ping Bus from Mo Chit in the evening, arriving at Chiang Rai's second bus terminal at 7 a.m. From there, grab a Grab ride into the city for less than 80 baht. Check in to the B2 Hotel in advance, avoiding the 2 p.m. deadline. The room rate is just 315 baht per night. After packing up, head out for a hearty breakfast of khanom jeen nam ngiao and a large bowl of khao soi nuea. Both are just 110 baht. After we were full, we strolled around the city market and unexpectedly stumbled upon Wat Mung Muang, a beautiful temple hidden in the middle of a busy market. We then took a songthaew to the renowned landmark, Wat Rong Khun, which lived up to its reputation. We spent a delightful time exploring the area. Return to the city center to rest, and the next morning, we went to another highlight of Chiang Rai, Wat Rong Suea Ten, whose vibrant blue color contrasted strikingly against the sky. We ended our trip with a visit to the Kok River cafe, "Chiwit Thammada," which offers a peaceful atmosphere, a cool breeze, and a romantic view. We ordered a mango cheesecake, which made our eyes widen with the first bite. It was so delicious, I had to say it was over the top. This 2-day, 1-night trip was both worthwhile and relaxing, and I got to see Chiang Rai's charming side without rushing. Plus, I got a return ticket from Thai Vietjet, booked through a promotion on the Trip app, for just 340 baht (oh my god!). It was an incredible deal! Anyone who visits and gets a round-trip ticket at this price is guaranteed to have change left over for two tickets. #ChiangRai #TravelThailandHalfPrice #RecommendedHotel #ChiangRaiTravel #WatRongKhun #WatRongSueaTen #SimpleLife #CafeReview
