Our journey begins in the early morning at a notable floating market in the province Ratchaburi, 90 km away from Bangkok. Once we arrive in Ratchaburi, we board a traditional boat to explore its canal and floating market.

This notable man-made canal is known as Damnoen Saduak, which literally means the Convenience Passageway, and was dug in the reign of King Mongkut more than 150 years ago, to connect the Tha Chin River in Nakhon Pathom with the Mae Klong River in Ratchaburi.

Its floating market, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, offers a variety of products and souvenirs, and still provides a unique way of buying and selling goods.

This temple is very famous for its giant stupa, which can be seen from a great distance, and its history and legend relating to King Naresuan, who has been regarded as the greatest king in the Siamese history.

Next, we cross to bridge to the island, traveling to Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. They are ones of the most visited attractions in Ayutthaya. The latter is also the most important place for the Ayutthaya Kingdom, as it’s located in the ancient palace compound, very similar to the way that the Emerald Buddha Temple is situated inside of the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

In this town, we first visit King Narai’s Palace, or Phra Narai Ratchaniwet, ruins of a former palace built by King Narai, the great king who ruled Ayutthaya in the mid-17th century. This palace once was the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, but were abandoned after King Narai passed away. After some restorations, it has been reopened as the “King Narai National Museum.”

Then we travel further into the heart of the town, and say hello to the monkeys at Prang Sam Yot. This is the ruin of an old Khmer tower, situating in the center of Lopburi.

Located adjacent to Prang Sam Yot is San Phra Kan Shrine. This small shrine was built in dedication to Vishnu, one of the supreme God in Hinduism.

Outside of the city wall, we also visit Wat Si Chum, which enshrines the famous 700-year old Buddha image, seated inside of a square brick Mandapa.

In the morning, we travel to Doi Tung, a steep mountain, situated approximately 50 kilometers from Chiang Rai.

As soon as we arrive, we will stop at Doi Tung Royal Villa. This villa was a former residence of HRH Princess Srinagarindra, the mother of the present king, who worked for a reforestation project in this area. It was built in a contemporary Lanna style, focusing on the uses of discarded pine and teak woods.

The beautiful garden, located adjacent to the Royal Villa, is the Mae Fah Luang Garden. The area was home to the hilltribe people of Akha, which nowadays moved to a new village five-hundred meters away, where there are provide electricity and tap water. The garden contains different kinds of temperate plants and colorful flowers.

After visiting the garden, we will continue our journey to the summit of Doi Tung, to the best known place in Chiang Rai: Wat Phra That Doi Tung. This is a thousand-year-old temple, situated astonishingly on an extraordinary location, right on the cliff, close to the summit of the mountaintop.

Apart from these, when we return to the town of Chiang Rai, we will visit Wat Phra Kaew, a temple with a huge historical significance. This temple shares its name and history with Wat Phra Kaew of the Grand Palace in Bangkok. Nevertheless, it also has its own history dating back to the 14th century.

According to the Chronicle of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Kaew of Chiang Rai was the place where people originally found the Emerald Buddha image. The image was discovered 700 years ago after a mysterious lightning struck on top of the temple’s main stupa.

We return to our hotel and arrive in the late afternoon.

After checkout from the hotel, we will leave behind the town of Chiang Rai, and head for Ban Thaton, through the famous scenic route: Highway 107.

Along the highway, we travel through several areas, which are famous for its natural and cultural beauty, including the rural areas of Mae Ai and Chiang Dao, where we can enjoy breathtaking sceneries, beautiful mountains, paddy fields, and local villages.

Our first stop will be in a peaceful area of Ban Thaton, situated approximately 90 kilometers from Chiang Rai Province. Here we visit Wat Thaton, a large temple complex, located adjacent to the Mae Kok River. The temple consists of nine levels, starting from the ground floor to the top of the edge of a mountain range.

On the eighth floor, we can visit Phra Chedi Kaew or the Crystal Stupa, which is actually a large building containing important image replicas of Lord Buddha, which most are performing a different gesture.

The interior design of this building is decorated by a number of stone guardians, images of revered monks, and a dragon spiral staircase. Its mural paintings also depict the life story of Lord Buddha, from his birth until entering Parinirvana.

This temple is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It is situated right on the cliff of Mount Suthep, and probably the most well-known monastery in Chiang Mai, due to the fact that the temple itself can be seen from almost anywhere from the city of Chiang Mai.

Then we return back to the city, heading to Wat Ched Yod, a unique and impressive temple built in 1453 to host the eighth World Buddhist Council. Unlike other temples, the prominent center prang of this temple is not a prang or stupa.
