One of the most ICONIC temples in Chiang Rai, Thai

One of the most ICONIC temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Definitely an Instagram-worthy temple if you can make it there.

Make sure you go super early and on the weekday if you want to take pictures. We went on a Friday and mid-afternoon and it was completely packed!

I’m SHOOK that no one knows about this temple! You better get here fast before all the influencers gets wind of this because it is an Instagram dream!

At first, I was really skeptical of going because I haven’t really seen this temple on any social media or travel blogs. Well, it turned out to be one of my favorite temples out of the whole trip!

There is a HUGE secret garden full of tropical plants, flowers, a flowing stream, and a fog machine no less!The best part of the secret garden is that it’s FREE. You don’t have to pay an entrance fee (like Cafe Lalita *cough cough*) and you can stay as long as you want.

You better put this on your Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai itinerary fast before it’s too popular and crowded. When we went, we and one other group were the only ones in the garden. We were literally taking pictures/videos galore!

Location: Wat Sand Kaeo Phothiyan
Address: 191 ม .11 บ้าน ใหม่ แสง แก้ว Chedi Luang, Mae Suai District, Chiang Rai 57180, Thailand

OMG… I would NEVER do this! First, not good enough and second, it must be FREEZING coming out of that water hahaha!

But good for these people who did it! I will say there were more skiers than snowboarders that made it across. It was my first time witnessing the pond skim so it was really exciting to watch and capture all these pictures. A great way to end the snowboarding season!

Definitely not sending it down the mountain but so happy to be on a board again 😭. #springskiing #springsnowboarding #mammothmountain #snowboarding #snowboardingrecovery #snowboardinglove #snowboardingtime #snowboardingtrip$

You should definitely take advantage of getting a hotel spa treatment done if you are in Phuket! Prices are roughly 2-3x cheaper than if you were to get a massage done in Hawaii!

All prices are based off of a typical 50/60-minute body massage (prices were current during date of posting). Of course, prices would be even CHEAPER if you don’t go to a hotel and just get a regular massage at a stand alone Thai massage place.

There are a million Thai massage places around and they roughly go anywhere 400-500 THB per hour ($11-$14 USD).

Make sure you keep this list as reference for your next trip!

HAWAII:
Westin Moana Surfrider Oahu: $190
Marriott Wailea Maui: $200
Andaz Maui: $185
The Royal Hawaiian Oahu: $185
Halekulani Oahu: $225
Hilton Hawaiian Village Oahu: $180
Grand Wailea Maui: $249

PHUKET:
Westin Phuket: ฿2,400 ($66)
The Slate Phuket: ฿2,900 ($79)
Marriott Merlin Beach: ฿1,800 ($49)
Marriott Nai Yang Beach: ฿2600 ($71)
InterContinental Phuket: ฿3,000 ($82)
Hyatt Regency Phuket: ฿2700 ($74)

This might be an unpopular opinion but I really th

This might be an unpopular opinion but I really think these 3 places are overrated! I totally understand if this is your first time and you haven’t seen it yet, then yes, go experience it once and then move on. But if you really don’t have the time, I recommend skipping these 3 for the reasons down below.

1. Maya Bay (Koh Phi Phi Leh): It’s probably the most famous beach of all of Thailand, but be warned that you are NOT allowed to go in the water. Because of over tourism the past couple decades, the Thai government has decided to ban all people from entering the water. You are only allowed to go knee deep.

Another reason Maya Bay is overrated is because of the massive crowds later on the day that come in from Phuket and Krabi. Luckily, we had a sunrise tour and we got there super early but there was STILL a grip ton of people already there. I would only go here if you are a super fan of the movie The Beach. Otherwise, there are better beaches to hang out on.

2. Bangla Street (Patong): This is a super dirty and grimey street with a bunch of smoke shops, dive bars, and low-end nightclubs. I can’t imagine that you flew all the way to Phuket to be surrounded by loud, obnoxious, drunk people. I get wanting to go out and have fun, but this was just too much.

3. James Bond Island (Phang Nga Bay): Another place made famous by a movie (The Man with the Golden Gun). This was probably the most underwhelming site. Maybe it’s because we came later in the day when it was full of people or maybe because the sun was behind the cliffs so you couldn’t really get any sun.

Either way, there wasn’t much to do on the island except take pictures and walk around the souvenir shops all selling the same stuff. Yeah, the limestone pillar in the middle is cool but you were done taking pictures within 15-20 minutes and we were stuck there for an hour. This was a far boat ride from Phuket too so if you’re on the fence about this place, I would skip it.

This was our favorite boat tour out of our whole Thailand trip! We took the sunrise tour which got us in to Maya Bay before all the crowds, got to swim and snorkel in Pileh Lagoon, saw the Viking Cave, and got to see wild monkeys. Oh and did I mention that we got to witness the most beautiful sunrise right in the middle of the sea?!

The best part was that this was all done before lunch time! We came back to Phuket and they had an amazing buffet waiting for us. It was so good that I went back for seconds lol.

If you need recommendations for a boat tour, I highly recommend them! The guides speak English and they definitely take time to point things out especially when snorkeling.
