The Hill Tribes and the White Temple
In Chiang Rai we stayed at the Phowadol Resort and Spa, a beautiful place on the outskirts of the city. Our room was actually a spacious and modern bungalow placed in a beautiful setting. Although quite a walking distance from town we headed out on our own one day to catch the sites.
The highlights of Chiang Rai were twofold. First, from …
Food and Dring
