Men work in the fields during the day, while women with looms create silk scarves. The Thai government has granted the tribal ethnic groups land 20km north of Chiang Rai, where different ethnic groups have chosen to live together. At 12.00 lunch time.
Afternoon dedicated to the most famous temples of Chiang Rai, then we will visit the Baan Dam, more commonly known as "The Black House", the black house and it is a very particular creation of the eccentric Thai artist, Thawan Duchanee. In part art studio, partly museum and partly house, Baan Dam is a mixture of traditional North Thai style buildings with others of modern and grotesque design. Baan Dam provokes a combination of thoughts between the dark, the surreal and the amused. The day will end with a guided tour of the Wat Rong Suea Ten, the so-called Blue Temple. At the end, return to the hotel.
