💡Travel Tip from MOONG TOUR

Many first-time visitors assume Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are close because of their similar names. In reality, the drive takes about 3–4 hours each way, or 6–8 hours for a round trip.

If your plan is to visit the White Temple, Blue Temple, Black House Museum, or the Golden Triangle, we recommend starting your journey in Chiang Rai. You’ll spend less time on the road and more time enjoying the attractions.
