Creator's Key Takeaways

Well, it took us about half an hour to get here to the White Temple from our hotel.

Well worth a visit for sure.

So put it on your list. Changai and stay at the meridian.

Changai definitely worth a visit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the White Temple early to avoid crowds.
Consider staying a night or two in Chiang Rai to explore temples without rushing.
If you want to live on a better budget in Southeast Asia, go with what the locals do instead of buying familiar imported brands.

YouTube Video Description

This week we spend 10 days in Chiang Rai, this is overlooked by so many and regarded as a day trip instead of a destination. We hope you watch this video and you put this on your list if you are in the area. We start by taking you to Tops Groceries in the Central Chiang Rai Shopping Center. Tops is always a good place if you want some home comforts and even stock Kirkland Brand for those Costco lovers out there. We next visit the White Temple which is truly an amazing structure. If you stay in Chiang Rai you get the chance to beat the day trippers and get the place to yourself. This place is like nothing you have seen before and the Cave of Art is indescribable and hardly anybody goes in to it as you need a separate ticket. Next we head for Bloodwork at Mengrai Labs which was super affordable and efficient, and then onto Bangkok Hospital for our Hep B 2nd dose. The next temple was the Blue Temple which is surreal in such a different way. It's completely different to the White Temple but two of the most amazing temples we have seen. You must check it out. Next is Laundry Day and this is the reality of Normal Nomad Life, its more affordable and easier than you would expect. Then it's back to the biggest time consuming part of our lives. Planning, planning and yet more planning. We plan 12 months ahead and still cant get all the hotels we want. Next we go to the Chiang Rai Walking Market which is a locals Market with less souvenirs before we head over to the Night Bazaar which is definitely tourist central. We then sum up our feelings on Chiang Rai. You should definitely put this place on your list. #whitetemple #bluetemple #centralchiangrai #thailand #chiangrai #thailandtravel #travel #globalnomadtravel #worldtraveller #worldtravel #slowtravel #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #retireearly #retireearlyandtravel #financialindependenceretireearly #digitalnomadlifestyle Video Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:56 Tops Groceries 03:18 Central Chiang Rai Shopping Center 04:14 Price Check on Essentials 06:42 The White Temple 12:52 Our view of the White Temple 16:10 Bloodwork and Vaccinations 20:33 The Blue Temple 22:31 Our view of the Blue Temple 24:57 Laundry Day 25:38 Planning, Planning and more Planning 26:59 The Chiang Rai Walking Market 29:15 The Chiang Rai Night Bazaar 30:04 Chiang Rai - What did we think 34:29 Thanks for Watching https://www.facebook.com/GlobalNomads93/ https://www.instagram.com/globalnomads93?igsh=emg1ZzkybnJyOXZv Email: globalnomads93@gmail.com
