    Qing took a hair, to Chiang Rai, about 3 hours drive, our group drove by themselves, the White Temple has tickets, but I can't remember how much! It seems to be 50 or 70, anyway, it is ten yuan ~ photo super beautiful, friends have taken photos of their own life. At the same time, the field is also very clear, the cleaning is very good, we are all in the White Temple, there are many different experiences. My girlfriend and I kept crying in a quiet meditation. Although the White Temple is not very big, it is very spectacular and magnificent, and at the same time it is exquisite and gorgeous. I don’t know how to describe it. We said that it is the same as a fairyland! There are some small shops selling clothes at the entrance of the White Temple. I also went to buy a piece of clothes, hahahaha

    It is a 20-minute drive from the center of Chiang Rai. Some people call it the Black Temple, but its real name is the Black House Museum. Artists, with the support of the Thai government, have created different and unique artworks to display here. The entrance fee is 80B. The place is not small. If you have time, you can enjoy it slowly.

    大元宝在清迈😇大元宝在清迈😇

    Changneng village is actually a local ethnic minority settlement in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai. The biggest feature of this minority is that girls have to wear collars on their necks from childhood in order to keep their necks growing upwards and can grow longer (longer), because they are beautiful with "long necks". The girls here barely read and don't go out, so they stay in the village to weave and sell some special handicrafts. This is their job, and these are the things to make money. Our group of 8 people chartered a car to play, and the long neck is one of the destinations. If you come to punch in alone, it is not necessary. But the children were quite curious, we had 4 children who wanted to visit. There are tickets, it seems to be 150 baht, I forgot, probably so. It is between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, so a lay trip is played with the White Temple, Blue Temple and Black Temple. I personally feel that I feel a little distressed for these girls, but I also wish them that the whole environment in the village is very original. Hahahahaha, this is a thatched house and a windy wooden house, but sitting at the door, it seems to have a feeling of being with this nature ~ Suggestion Combine punching in and traveling together! It is also suitable for taking the baby together to let the child feel a different life.

    There is a hot spring town between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Hot springs spurt out from the ground. The temperature of the hot springs reaches more than 80 degrees, and the hot spring pool is like boiling water in a pot. Put an egg in it and it will instantly become a hot spring egg. ​ ​

    This is another one of Chiang Rai's most beautiful temples. If you're in Chiang Rai, you must visit. (It's like you haven't been to Chiang Rai.) Chiang Rai has many beautiful temples.

    If you come to Chiang Rai and don't come to Chuifong, it's like you haven't been here. This is an open tea plantation. There is a cafe with a variety of teas, sweets, and savory foods. There are also souvenirs or gifts from the tea plantation to buy for yourself or to give to your loved ones. Most importantly, it is easy to get to and the atmosphere is great, perfect for a relaxing day.

    Chiang Rai Night Market, in the local area should be a place where everyone will go to a small gathering, the food court is the most lively, the most people, and the food choices are super. There are Thai-style small hot pot, Thai barbecue, fried seafood, Dongyingong noodle soup noodle soup noodles, seafood packages are the most, there are also Thai traditional chicken oil rice, seafood vegetable salad, the magic is that I saw a Mala Tang, although he is called Mala Tang, But I looked at it differently from the domestic ones, so I didn't eat it. Hahahahahaha finally chose Thai traditional dining, and the drink was cheap. A smoothie was about 40-50 baht, that is, RMB 8-9 yuan. There are cheap foods to eat, and there are slightly more expensive ones. The average price will not exceed 100 RMB ~ My market lover likes to buy clothes, hahahaha, buy a Thai traditional tube skirt at the Chiang Rai Night Market with a white coat.
