We were trying to travel to other places apart from the too famous Bangkok or Pattaya which is more than familiar to Vietnamese travelers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So we did catch the flight directly to Chiang Rai from Don Meuang airport in Bangkok and stay the night there. There are numerous domestic airlines that operate this route such as Nok Air, Bangkok Airway, Thai Lion Air or other than that there are still Vietjet Air, Air Asia, etc. </div>

Just around 20 minutes from the White temple is the Black House (Baan Dam Museum) – the unique legacy of the late and renowned artist Thawan Duchanee, a son of Chiang Rai.

Other than that, there is a complex of houses and extraordinary buildings which are “decorated” by dead animals’ skeleton such as buffalo skulls and horns, skin of crocodiles and snakes, head of deers, fur of sheeps, foxes and cows, etc, and even a lot of furniture were made from those skeletons.</div>

After lunch, we headed to the most interesting place – the golden triangle. This is the famous location where the borders of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar meet in the middle of Mekong River. From the viewpoint of the Golden Triangle Park you will see the two other neighboring countries, the Mekong River and the hilly landscape with its small villages and hillside temples.
