After this, we will visit the Hall of Opium, where you can study how opium was delivered commercially in the old days.
After lunch, you will visit Wat Rong Kun (called White Temple), a Buddhist temple in a contemporary style that makes it different from any other in Thailand. Decorated in white, the Buddhist symbol of purity, the temple is adorned with crystals that refer to Buddha’s wisdom as “The light that shines throughout the world and the universe.
Right after a visit to the peculiar White Temple of Chiang Rai, there was a quick stop to northern Thailand’s Karen Long Neck Hilltribe, who is known for boasting spiral brass coils around their necks. Visiting Karen Long Neck villages in Thailand will be one of the most exotic experiences on the planet. The mystery and beauty that sound the tradition of using brass rings for exaggerated jewellery is something better seen in person than in a book. The tribes wear unique outfits and produce handmade crafts which visitors can buy as keepsake items. Afterwards, relax on the way back to the hotel.
