Chiang Rai: White Temple Tour with Transfer

Description

Discover one of Northern Thailand's most iconic cultural landmarks with a private White Temple Tour in Chiang Rai. Known locally as Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple is a remarkable contemporary Buddhist and art complex created by Thai national artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Its brilliant white architecture, intricate ornamental details, reflective glass and symbolic sculptures make it one of Chiang Rai's most distinctive attractions.

Guests can learn about the artistic concepts and Buddhist symbolism represented throughout the complex while enjoying time for photography and independent exploration.

The temple is located approximately 13 km south of central Chiang Rai and is generally visited as a short half-day experience. Current 2026 visitor information reports opening hours around 08:00–17:00, with foreign visitors currently charged approximately THB 200 for admission.
