**Wat te zien in Chiangrai?**Een bronzen standbeeld van de stichter van het Lanna Koninkrijk(koning Mengrai) is gelegen op het beginpunt van Highway 110,deze weg gaat naar Mae Chan, Chiang Saen en Mae Sai. Veel toeristen bezoeken dit monument om hun respect te betuigen aan de oude koning.
The White Temple oftewel Wat Rong Khun ligt 13 km ten zuiden van Chiang Rai. Het is ter ere voor de Koning gebouwd door Chalermchai Kositpipat, vanaf 1997, en er wordt ook nog steeds aan gebouwd.
Om er te komen, pak een bus naar Chiang Mai, en vraag aan de chauffeur of hij je afzet bij Wat Rong Khun. Ritprijs: 15 baht.
De tempel is op zijn mooist (en witst) bij volle zonneschijn.

Mae Sai is een stad op het noordelijkste puntje van Thailand , een uur (anderhalf uur met de bus) rijden van Chiang Rai. Er is een grensmarkt, weliswaar met weinig interessants voor westerlingen, maar leuk genoeg om er even overheen te struinen. Op de hoek aan de linkerkant van de brug bevindt zich een druk bezocht restaurant. Daar vanuit kun je het grensverkeer aanschouwen, zoals leden van de bergstammen die in Thailand komen kopen en verkopen. Gesmokkeld wordt er ook, vrijwel zeker dat je dat ook gaat zien.
Je kunt de heuvel op naar Wat Doi Wao, voor mooie uitzichten over Mae Sai en Birma. Het weggetje bergop is in de buurt van Top North Hotel.

Chiang Saen is een stad aan de Mekong op anderhalf uur rijden met de bus vanuit Chiang Rai. Met enige fantasie zou je het “klein Ayutthaya” kunnen noemen, want het aantal oude tempels en ruines is vrij groot.
Op de dagmarkt vind je plaatselijke lekkernijen zoals mierenpoppen en honing, maar dat laatste dan met de raat er nog aan.
Er komen weinig toeristen, maar als je het als basis wilt gebruiken om de Gouden Driehoek te bezoeken, en je zoekt budget-accomodatie , dan is Chiang Saen een prima keuze.
The Golden Triangle (of Gouden Driehoek) is het drielandenpunt tussen Thailand , Birma en Laos. Behalve mooie uitzichten over de Mekong, een mooie tempel op de heuvel en een opium-museum heeft het plaatsje Sop Ruak niet veel te bieden.
Wat je zeker moet bezoeken als je in Chiangrai bent namelijk"Wat Phra Kaew ",het heeft dezelfde naam als de beroemde tempel in Bangkok, en om dezelfde reden: “Tempel van de Emerald Buddha”. Het is hier, in zijn Chedi dat in het jaar 1436 de kleine jade Boeddha beeld werd gevonden of ‘gestolen’, zoals sommigen zouden zeggen 
dat nu wordt weergegeven in Bangkok. Onlangs is een kopie is gemaakt dat nu is te zien in een kleine nieuwe Viharn (kapel). De inhuldiging van het gebouw en het standbeeld was een belangrijke gebeurtenis werd bijgewoond door de koning en de hoge ambtenaren, foto’s van de ceremonie worden weergegeven in het gebouw. Afgezien van dat Wat Phra Kaew is een prachtige traditionele Lanna stijl tempel met de typische rijke decor van houtsnijwerk en bladgoud. Er zijn tal van andere tempels in Chiang Rai, maar Wat Phra Singh en Wat Phra Kaew zijn het essentiële.
De bergstammen in Thailand wonen voor het grootste deel in de berggebieden van het noorden, in de regio bekend als de Gouden Driehoek. Er zijn zes hoofdgroepen erkend door de Thaise overheid. Deze vallen in drie categorieën taalkundige als volgt: (i) de Lahu, Akha en de Lisu behoren tot de Tibetaans-Birmaanse familie van talen. Deze stammen migreerden in fasen uit het zuiden van China in Birma en Thailand op begon te voeren over het begin van de twintigste eeuw, (ii) de Meo (Hmong) en Yao (Mien) behoren tot de Sino-Tibetaanse taalgroep. Deze mensen trokken van zuid-centraal China in Laos en vandaar over de Mekong rivier in Thailand. Velen van hen werden gedwongen om naar Thailand te vluchten na de communistische machtsovername van Laos in 1975, en (iii) de Karen, de meest talrijke van de groepen, die waarschijnlijk zijn oorsprong in het zuidwesten van China, ook al zijn er geen levende er vandaag de dag.
Er zijn ook een aantal kleinere groepen zoals de Lawa, Kha Mu, Kha Htin, Thai Lue en Yumbri. In 1983 het totale aantal van de heuvel tribals in Thailand werd geschat op 415.000, waarvan meer dan de helft waren Karen. Dit is slechts een klein percentage van het totale aantal bergstammen volkeren leven in de Gouden Driehoek van Birma, Thailand, Laos en China.

** Chiang Rai clock tower, golden clock tower in Thailand **
[Home](http://triphole.com/) » [Featured post](http://triphole.com/blog/featured-post/) » Chiang Rai clock tower, golden clock tower in Thailand
In the smooky day of March 25th 2010, we were in Chiang rai, northern Thailand and amazed by the Golden [clock](http://triphole.com/chiang-rai-clock-tower-golden-clock-tower-in-thailand/#) tower with the beautiful Thai architecture. We were told that the clock tower is designed by Ajarn Chaloemchai kositpipat; the most famous artist in Chiangrai, the same artist who built the White Temple, Wat Rong Kun. The tower is build in 2008 in honour to the king, his majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The tower is located in the heart of the city, just few minutes from night bazzar market and attract to many tourist and local visitors. Though we did not stay over night in Chiang Rai, we were told that there is amazing light show start from 7pm onwards which changes different lighting for the first ten minutes of every hours and attract a large number of viewers every night. And we took some photos and short video as below:

Doi Tung
Chiang Rai
http://www.discoverythailand.com/images/c2.gif
Known by locals as Thailand’s Switzerland, Doi Tung (‘Flag Mountain’) is an attractive mountain-top destination of forests and nearby Shan, Akha and Lahu tribal villages. Probably the most important attraction in the area is Wat Phrathat Doi Tung – a temple built one thousand years ago which is an important place of pilgrimage for Buddhists from Thailand and overseas. A giant flag was flown from the point where the temple’s chedis were built giving ‘flag mountain’ its name. Doi Tung is also home to the Doi Tung Development Project, an initiative of Her Royal Highness Srinakarindra the Princess Mother (mother of Thailand’s current monarch) who passed away in 1995.
Doi Tung has traditionally been an area at the centre of Thailand’s opium production, and with a ready supply of the drug in the area, drug use was prevalent, especially amongst the poor. The Princess Mother built a summer palace in the area and initiated the Doi Tung Development Project. The purpose behind the project was to establish means of overcoming the area’s social problems through education, training, and through “Sustainable Alternative Development” such as changes in agriculture (an Agricultural Training Centre was set up to help people change from opium production to growing crops such as coffee, strawberries and macadamia nuts) and the introduction of trade in such items as local handicrafts (a ‘Cottage Industry Centre’ was also set up alongside an outlet for locally produced goods and to ensure local crafts such as hand carpet manufacturing are passed on to future generations.
The Princess Mother’s palace has been maintained exactly as it was when she stayed there. The grounds of the palace (Mae Fa Luang Garden) are extremely well kept and certainly warrant a visit. Visits to the Doi Tung Development Project’s various activities are also possible.
A trip to Doi Tung is often combined with a visit to Mai Sai. Probably the biggest draw to the region is its scenery. A trip through the mountains to Doi Tung is simply glorious. Hiking here is possible, but you should always arrange a guide – drug production does still exist and the Mong Thai Army and Karen Rebels are occasionally active in the area.
**Details: **Admission to the royal palace and the gardens is 100 Baht per person. Both open 07.30 to 17.30 daily.
**How to get there: **The palace is located at kilometre 12 of route 1149. Given the distances to be covered and the fact a motor vehicle is essential to a trip to Doi Tung, an organised tour to the site is recommended.

**MAE FAH LUANG ART AND CULTURAL PARK OPENS FOR PREVIEW
featuring the Royal Collection of Lanna Art
Open daily except Monday (from December 1, 2003 onwards)
10.00 - 18.00 hours **
http://www.tatnews.org/tourism_news/images/line.gif
http://www.tatnews.org/tourism_news/images/0212/headmaefah4.jpg
The Royal Collection of Lanna Art on display at Rai Mae Fah Luang or the Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park, has been collected over the years by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation under the patronage of HRH the Princess Mother. It represents the finest collection of religious and secular art and artefacts found in Thailand.
The collection consists of items dating from the Lanna period, beginning approximately 1600 A.D. “Lanna” refers to the Kingdom of the northern Thai peoples which was incorporated into the Kingdom of Siam by treaty approximately 100 years ago.
Its culturally unique expression is marked by a distinct spoken and written language (related to but different from modern Thai) and a distinguished history of codified law.
Its religious monuments reveal religious piety in the face of warfare and conquest by its neighbours.
It is believed that religious implements, once consecrated, remain sacred in perpetuity. So, in deference to local beliefs, a selection of items from the collection are enshrined in the Haw Kham (Golden Pavilion), the plans for which were based upon Lanna religious architecture.
The Haw Kham is not a museum. The pavilion encapsulates the very essence of Lanna ritual. The art is displayed within its context, provisions having been made for those who wish to offer their respect.
Items housed in the Haw Kham include Buddha images or Phra Buddha Rup, palanquins to enshrine the images called Prasat , Satthaphan candelabra, Tung Gradan (wooden standards), Khan dok containers in which floral offerings are made, as well as smaller religious items, textiles and architectural pieces.
Most larger items are of carved and embellished wood. In addition, the Wiang Tha murals are stored on the grounds of the Rai Mae Fah Luang. These were painted directly on the teakwood walls of a small temple in Phrae province. The Wiang Tha murals were saved from dismemberment and sale in the antique trade and sent to the Rai Mae Fah Luang for safekeeping by the villagers themselves.
The Lanna kingdom was a rich historical period which has been little studied but much appreciated by connoisseurs of Southeast Asian art. In fact, the Royal Collection of Lanna Art was begun by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation in order to help save Lanna art from dissemination worldwide and make it possible for northern Thai people to be educated about their own cultural heritage.
The Rai Mae Fah Luang is also a botanical garden and home to children sponsored by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation’s scholarship programme. Each year, children from disadvantaged homes are given encouragement through the scholarship programme to continue their studies to whatever level they choose to seek themselves. Their excellent academic record has taken them paths never before open to children of the hills. They all reside at the Rai Mae Fah Luang and the gardens are also a tribute to their dedication to the spirit embodied in the Mae Fah Luang Foundation charter.
**Admission fee:**
• **Visit to the garden **
Residents of Thailand: 20 Baht for adults and children
