Explore the Black House Museum
Your next stop on your Chiang Rai journey would be a stop at the Black House museum, a place that will raise some inquisitive questions in your mind. This experience stands in total contrast to the pristine white and bright blue hues of your previous stops. Dominated by the color black, this sprawling art museum consists of around 40 unique black structures scattered across landscaped grounds and massive wooden halls filled
with animal skulls, horns, and taxidermy mounts.
Visit the Long Neck Village
Lastly, add a touch of Thailand’s unique culture to your outdoor adventure with a visit to a Long Neck village. As the name suggests, the village earned this name because of the ornamented coils worn by the women, a tradition that elongates the necks. Walk around, observe daily life, watch traditional weaving demonstrations, and support their community by purchasing handmade souvenirs, such as scarves, jewelry, and crafts.
Travel in Comfort
Enjoy your trip in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for about 3 to 3.5 hours, enjoying scenic views of Northern Thailand’s rolling hills, rice paddies, and lush mountains. Your English-speaking guide will introduce the day’s itinerary and share facts about Thai culture.
