Top Culture in Chiang Rai

You might want to keep an eye on the time. There's a lot to see, so set a limit for how long you're willing to spend there, or you could end up rushed at the last minute.

I suggest checking the weather ahead of time. My visit was cut short by rain, but had I checked, I could have planned better. Sunscreen is also a must, even on cloudy days.

If you can, do a mini photoshoot at the bridge leading to the temple. I got some of my fave photos there, and it's less crowded than inside the temple itself.

I recommend arriving around 8 AM when it opens. The calm atmosphere lets you enjoy the details without the crowds. Later in the day, it can feel super busy!
