This was a quick stop at the end of our 1 day guided tour around Chiang Rai. The wat was quiet and rustic - seemingly untainted from modernity and commercialisation, unlike many other wats. It was stunning during sunset.

Located in the Chiang Rai province in Northern Thailand, the Golden Triangle is the area where 3 countries (Thailand, Myanmar and Laos) meet and when the River Ruak flows into the mighty Mekong. For the locals it's Sop Ruak. A must-visit for all tourists in the area.
