Best summer vacation in Chiang Rai

Hi, I'm Jennilyn from the Philippines. It's my first time in Chiang Rai. I must say I fell in love with the place. It's such a unique trip. Chiang Rai is way more cultural and refreshing than Manila. I got to go on a temple tour around Chiang Rai. I saw the Baan dam Museum, Chiang Rai First Church, and Wat Klong Wiang. I also saw the Wat Phra Keo, Wat Phra Sing, and Wat Ming Meuang. I marveled at the buildings' details. I'm amazed how the builders built most of these buildings without machines. My personal favorite is the White Temple.
