Wat Phra Kaew
Wat Phra Kaew - Very peaceful temple just on the outskirts of the centre. Beautiful architecture as expected and the inside of the temple is so serene. The emerald Buddha is really quite a sight. Noticed they offered introduction to Buddhism classes on certain days where you can ask questions about the religion which I thought was a wonderful idea.

beautiful temple with artifacts and history
this is one of most famous and most visited temples in Chiang Rai. it’s really close to the bus terminal, so you are able to walk or take the scooter to go there. the good thing about this place is free of charge, and the complex includes pagoda, 14th Emerald Buddha statue, shrines, and a museum all on the same ground. there is a information Center where you can have some information about this place and emerald Buddha. it’s a really lovely place, I will suggest you to take some time walk around, and see those artifacts and read though the explanation of the temple. and in religious holidays and Saturday, there will be chanting in the morning #tripblazers #mytripvlog
