From Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai

Today we drove from Chiang Rai to the White Temple, or Wat Rong Khun. This wat was designed by artist Chalermchai Kositpipat 17 years ago. The symbolism surrounding this temple depicts Buddhist beliefs about the afterlife. After walking around, we then headed to Chiang Mai, a larger city a few hours to the southeast of Chiang Rai.

We wrote a wish for our family and hung it on a wish tree within the wat
