We have enjoyed our time in Chiang Rai and feel that we’d like to return one day to spend a little more time here. Saturday we took a “Grab” car to visit the Black House (Baan Dam Museum).<\/strong> The Atlas Obscura<\/u> website describes it best (Here.<\/u><\/a>)<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The setting is pretty.<\/p>\n

This is a view inside the main temple.<\/p>\n

Some of the artifacts on display.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s quite an unusual place!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the way, our Grab car driver made an unscheduled stop for us to see works by local artists. While there, he wanted to take a photo of us to show his friends. In return, we took a photo of him to show you!<\/p>\n

The Hilltribe Museum and Educational Center<\/strong> near our hotel was interesting as it described the various cultural groups living in northern Thailand. It also detailed the long history of opium in the region.<\/p>\n

Chiang Rai has a bustling Saturday Night Street Market.<\/strong> We found many delicious tidbits there. It’s a festive event with live music plus lots of crafts and street food.<\/p>\n

But, onward we go as we begin to make our way back home!<\/p>\n
