Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Doi Mae Salong Tour

DAY 1 – White Temple, Black House, Doi Tung, & Doi Mae Sa Long (Chiang Mai → Mae Salong)

After your breakfast, you’ll be picked up from your Chiang Mai hotel as we head towards Chiang Rai. Our first destination is Chiang Rai’s most marvelous temple, Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple. You can witness the stunning beauty of this cultural wonder before we head towards our next checkpoint.
The journey continues towards Baan Dam, more commonly known as the Black House. This structure is a true representation of Chiang Rai’s intricate architecture, built with immense creativity and a number of different materials. Inside, you will notice various artworks that adorn Thawan Duchanee’s masterpiece.

We will stop for lunch and once everyone has enjoyed the local cuisine, you will be taken to the King Mother’s palace, Doi Tung. Its surrounding flower garden is absolutely stunning, and allows for an amazing photo opportunity.
Our final destination for the day will be Doi Mae Salong, a mountain rising 1,500 meters above sea level. The peak here gifts its visitors with a gorgeous viewpoint, and you’ll be able to enjoy a fantastic view of the Chiang Rai sunset. We will provide accommodations for you at the mountain’s Flower Hill Resort, where you will stay overnight to fully experience Doi Mae Sa Long.

DAY 2 – Pagoda, Tea Plantation, Long Neck Village, & Hot Springs (Mae Salong → Chiang Mai)

You will enjoy Flower Hill Resort’s delicious breakfast menu before we leave for Sinakarintra Stit Mahasantikhiri Pagoda. This stunning pagoda was built in 1996, and is a monument to the King’s Mother. The scenic view at this site is tremendous, with open space in all directions that embodies the beauty of Doi Mae Salong. In the morning, the mountain range fills with mist that provides a unique experience for its visitors.

We continue the tour as we head towards the tea plantation, where Sakura flowers fill the ground during the colder months. From here, we take a short drive to the Long Neck village. You will learn more about the culture of these people, including why the Long Neck women wear their brass ring all their lives.

Before returning to Chiang Mai, we will take you to the Mae Kajan Hot Springs so that you can relax a bit after a long day of touring. Enjoy the healing powers of the hot mineral water by soaking your feet. After some leisure time, you will be driven back to your Chiang Mai hotel, where you will spend the rest of your evening.
