One of Thailand’s most bizarre and impressive sights is Wat Rong Khun. It may look like a temple, but it’s actually a modern art installation completed in 1997. Wander past the white spires and peaceful pools to enter the temple and you’ll find minion-related artwork inside... and even an ode to Michael Jackson! Yup, it’s weird, wonderful and well worth a visit.

While this temple was completed in 2008, the locals will tell you ancient legends about wild tigers who lived on this land several centuries ago. This bright blue and gold temple is visually stunning and home to an enormous seated Buddha.

The Golden Triangle is where you can snap photos and admire views out over the three countries from Wat PhraThat PuKhao Temple. At this point, you can choose to optionally upgrade and cruise the Khong River (at your own expense), stopping at a local Laos market. Here you can pick up souvenirs and snacks before we return to Chiang Mai after a busy but rewarding day out.
