In this episode we take you to northern Thailand to the city of Chiang Rai. We start off by visiting one of the most famous temples in all of Thailand, Wat Phra Kaew also known at the Bamboo Forest Temple. The emerald Buddha was housed here in the 12th century before moving around South East Asia and finally making its way home to the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
Next up we visit Wat Rong Khun aka the White Temple! It is located 13 km’s south of Chiang Rai and it's a must visit. It is owned by Chalermchai Kositpipat, who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997. It is open all year round and admission is free.
At night you must visit Chiang Rai's night bazaar. Here you can buy dvd's, clothing and goods from the local hill tribes. It's the perfect place to have dinner, and we recommend skipping the restaurant and eating at the food court. If you’re the adventurous type, try some crickets and worms like we did!
The next location we visit is the hill tribe villages about 25 minutes drive north of Chiang Rai. Here you will visit five different hill tribes, the most famous tribe is the Karen long-neck hill tribe. You will hear music, dance and interact with the tribes. You can also buy souvenirs for friends and family back home.
And lastly we visit the Saturday Night Walking Street. It's a night bazaar that is way bigger then the night bazaar and has over a hundred different foods stalls. I recommend coming early and seeing all the food before making a final decision on what to eat. The food was out of this world and I recommend you try northern Thailand's most popular dish Khao Soi. It's a mild coconut based curry served over soft egg noodles and topped and topped with crisp egg noodles. Its delicious!
So that was David's list of 5 things to do in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand.

Traveling to Chiang Rai (เมืองเชียงราย), Northern Thailand
Chiang Rai (เมืองเชียงราย) is a city in northern Thailand that I’ve always wanted to visit, and finally I had a chance to go. Keep watching this video for all the details.
From Bangkok, I first bought a plane ticket with Bangkok Airways - it was also my first time to fly with Bangkok Airways, though I had heard good things about them before. Our flight was in the morning so we took a taxi in Bangkok to Suvarnabhumi International Airport to catch our flight. After we checked it, we headed to our gate, and were greeted by a nice little display of snacks and coffee and tea - not bad for just a one hour flight that cost less than $50! After eating some banana chips and a few cheese sandwiches, our flight to Chiang Rai was ready to board. On the flight Bangkok Airways served us even more food. It was a nice flight, and it took just one hour to fly from Bangkok to Chiang Rai.
After landing in Chiang Rai, we got our bag, and then took a taxi into town. Ying and had booked a hotel called Amarin Resort, as I needed a nice place to get some work done, and we were looking for a place to get some nice relaxation as well. I immediately loved the resort we were staying at - it was nice and extremely quiet, the grounds were nice and green, and our room was quite big in size and very comfortable. After checking into our hotel and relaxing for a bit, we then headed out to eat lunch at a famous northern Thai restaurant, which was actually located just a 5 minute walk from our hotel, known as Lu Lam. We ordered a number of different Thai dishes, including one of my favorite northern Thai foods, lab khua, minced pork with lots of spices. The entire meal was quite wonderful, and it was a delicious first meal in Chiang Rai. I also loved that the restaurant was located right along the river, offering a lovely and peaceful atmosphere.
During the summer, the sun in Chiang Rai is intensely hot, especially in the middle of the day. So after lunch, we decided to head back to the hotel and I needed to get some work done. I wrote some blogs before we headed out again in the afternoon at about 4 pm when the sun was toned down quite a bit. We headed into Chiang Rai town, and our first stop was to walk around the Chiang Rai clock tower, an incredibly intricate and ornate golden clock tower, sort of the landmark of downtown Chiang Rai city. We then continued walking, and soon found ourselves in the evening central market, a vibrant display of all things northern Thai food. I wanted to actually eat everything I saw, but I was actually still quite full from the delicious lunch we had eaten not too long before. I ended up buying some avocados and some passion fruit, two of my favorite natural things.
After walking around the local food market, we then headed over to check out the Chiang Rai night bazaar. It turned out to be a little on the touristy side, not so much my style, but it could be a good place to go if you travel to Chiang Rai and are looking to buy some souvenir. There’s a food court at the Chiang Rai night bazaar, so we stopped there for a quick and light bite to eat. I ordered a dish called jim jum, which is basically the Thai street food version of a hot pot. We got a pot of soup boiling in a clay pot, accompanied by a basket of vegetables, an egg, and some chicken, and then we just boiled everything together. It wasn’t the best meal of my life, it was alright, but I just wanted to eat something for dinner that wasn’t too heavy or meaty - as I had eaten quite a huge lunch!
My first day traveling from Bangkok to Chiang Rai was a wonderful day. I immediately fell in love with Chiang Rai, how peaceful it is, and I really love the northern Thai culture and the food.
Thank you for watching this travel vlog, hope you enjoyed it!

Top 10 Places to Visit in Thailand
Hi everyone. This is David Hoffmann of Davidsbeenhere. In the spring of 2013, I spent six incredible weeks exploring the country of Thailand. I drove from Bangkok all the way up to Chiang Rai and then flew down to the islands.

Ayutthaya Historical Park, which in addition to it being a fascinating historical park, is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s about one hour from Bangkok, which makes it a quick and easy day trip from the city.
Bangkok, here’s a reason why this gritty, sophisticated, chaotic, cosmopolitan city is such a draw for travelers from all over the world. Here, you can visit Thailand’s top attraction, the Grand Palace complex; admire the impressive, porcelain architecture at Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of the Dawn; see the largest reclining Buddha statue in Thailand at Wat Pho; experience a feast for both your eyes and your stomach in the Chinatown district; experience one of Thailand’s best culinary gems at Boat Noodle Alley and so much more. I love this city so much. It’s truly a traveler’s paradise.
Chiang Mai, millions of travelers and expats from all over the world have been entranced by this city over the years, and it’s not hard to see why, between the laid-back culture, incredible dining, gorgeous Buddhist temples, and spirited nightlife. The nightly bazaar is a favorite among bargain shoppers looking for deals on various items, but the Sunday Night Market is where you’ll also find musicians, street performers, and vendors selling handmade arts and crafts.
The White Temple, an ornate architectural marvel that's just a 20-minute drive south from Chiang Rai. It was built and conceptualized by Thai artist Ajarn Chalermchai Kositpipat, who purposely designed it so that it doesn’t match the style of other Buddhist temples in the country.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located an hour and a half from Bangkok. Here you can buy souvenirs, fresh produce, and clothing from local vendors and try local dishes like noodle bowls, coconut pancakes, stir-fried dishes, fresh fruit, and spring rolls. Arrive early to avoid the mid-morning influx of tourists and don’t forget to bring cash!
Golden Triangle Park, which lies roughly 45 minutes north of Chiang Rai where the Mekong River separates Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos.While this area was once known for its opium production, the crop has since been eradicated here.
Koh Lanta Island should definitely be on your itinerary. Koh Lanta offers a much more laid-back atmosphere than the bustling beaches of Phuket and Samui. Bamboo Beach’s crystal clear water makes it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Be sure to check out Lanta Old Town and Koh Lanta National Park while you’re on the island.
Lopburi, a town located 150 kilometers northeast of Bangkok and is known for its ancient ruins.Unlike the ruins at Ayutthaya and Sukothai, the ruins of Lopburi will take a lot more effort to visit because they’re more spread out.The ruins of Lopburi are well known for the energetic macaques that roam the temples.
Phuket, which is well-known around the world for its beaches, incredible views, and nightlife. Phuket boasts 25 Buddhist temples, including Wat Chong, a three-story temple that is said to house a bone relic of the Buddha. If you’d rather take part in some water-based activities, check out one of Phuket’s beaches, including Surin, Bang Tao,and Patong. I visited Phang Nga Bay with Captain Mark’s Alternative tours for a full day speed boat tour.
Sukhothai, the first ancient capital of the Kingdom of Siam and like Ayutthaya, the historical park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some of the site’s most beautiful and impressive structures at include the park’s largest temple, Wat Mahatat, the three-pillared Wat Si Sawai temple, and Pra Achana Buddha at Wat Si Chun. Sukhothai Historical Park is quite large and requires a full day to see it all.
And that’s my list of ten places you must visit when you go to Thailand. There’s truly something for everyone in this amazing country, and as I said earlier, my trip there is one of my favorites I’ve ever gone on. If you’ve never been to Thailand, I hope this video made you want to go! If you loved this video, please give it a thumbs up, leave me a comment below, and subscribe to my channel. And I will see you in the next travel adventure!

INCREDIBLE Temples and MUST SEE places of Chiang Rai | Northern Thailand 2019
We spent a week in Chiang Rai visiting some of the most incredible temples we have ever seen in our lives! We visited Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple. This temple is absolute astounding. It is easily the best temple we have every visited. The details in the art and sculptures are amazing. Following this we visited the Blue Temple also known as Wat Rong Seur Ten. This temple is just as impressive though it has a more traditional feel to it. If you want to visit a temple with a much more authentic vibe consider the Temple of the Emerald Buddha also called Wat Phra Kaew. Chiang Mai isn't just about temples though. If you are all templed out there are a bunch of waterfalls nearby as well as markets and street food galore. We tried to visit as many of these palces as we could in our time there.
