On this day, we booked back the same tour guide who brought us to the elephant camp to go to Chiang Rai.
It was a looooong journey........and along the way, we see nothing but a lot of greens.
Stopped for breakfast at a Roong Aroon hot spring area.
I seriously had no idea what to order....I just took whatever the guide took! lol.....
Two rows of shops before the hot spring area.
Parents had the pork noodle soup.
I guess this must be a common rest area as many buses stopped by this area too as we were about to leave. Funny thing was that other tour guide asked our guide which part of Thailand did his guests come from!!
Er.....do we look like Thai?
Hot water gushing out from this little hole.
Free leg spa anyone?
After that it was more greens with sign boards showing various tourists attractions along the way.
Finally, after almost 3 hours....we arrived at Wat Rong Khun, the famous white temple of Chiang Rai!
This is Chalermchai Kositpipat, the man who designed the temple in 1997.
Truly a work of art~ just look at all the details~
Love how every minute thing is designed so intricately.
Yikes~!!!
Looks totally real~
This golden one is not the temple....this is actually the toilet!!!
This looks like it came from a set of some Hollywood movie.
Highly recommend this temple to anyone who is going to Chiang Mai. It's beautifully designed and took years to complete. Even so, the entry is free! You will get a small little surprise as you enter the temple.....you might find some familiar anime characters or Marvel comic characters! hehehe......
