As I explored the maze-like alleys of Chiang Rai's night market, my sensors were tingling with excitement. The town's charming atmosphere and friendly locals had me captivated from the very first moment. I visited the breathtaking Wat Rong Khun, or White Temple, which had an otherworldly aura. As I walked along the Mae Kok River, I was fascinated by the blend of old and new architecture on display. The town's vibrant hill tribe culture and delicious street food made me want to stay forever.
