On a night that still lingers in my heart, Chiang Rai's sky was clear.

The night shimmered under the radiant glow of the moon.

This trip's destination is here, Saeng Arun Farm, Chiang Khong. I want to go sleep and watch the stars by the Mekong River.

We never book anything in advance for our trips. We just go when we feel like it.

However, this is not feasible here, as the place is consistently full, especially the coveted room.

Despite booking two months in advance, we were unable to secure our desired room at the Rim Khong Hotel.

I wanted a room with a Mekong River view, but I ended up with a room with a triple Mekong River view. Oh well, I'll take it.

If you wait, you don't know how long it will be. You can come back later when you have time.



There is no significant difference between the three Mekong River regions.

The balcony lacks railings, offering unobstructed panoramic views of the Mekong River.

While our place may not be the most luxurious, it's certainly not unattractive. Situated at the edge, it offers scenic views that are true to the local charm. We'll delve into the specifics later.

..............................................................................................................................

Let's begin our journey.

This trip will be taken by AirAsia, flight at 8:10 am, arriving at Mae Fah Luang Airport at 9:30 am.

Please provide the text you want me to translate.

I have reserved an Avis rental car for pick-up at the airport.



We headed to Sahas Restaurant, having heard that their blood pudding soup was delicious.

Let's go. Oh, it's really delicious. It's so delicious, I don't know if it's because I'm hungry.

After a satisfying meal, we continued our journey, setting our GPS for Chiang Saen.



Arrived in Chiang Saen

This is a district in Chiang Rai Province, located on the banks of the Mekong River, bordering Thailand.



Chiang Saen is an ancient city with a rich history spanning over a thousand years.

Historically, Chiang Saen was one of the earliest Lanna kingdoms.

The historical background is relatively clear, and there are still many traces of ancient artifacts and historical sites.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the city's construction began sometime between the 19th and 20th centuries CE.

As mentioned in the Chunka Maalipakorn and the Yonok Chronicle, the given era is very close to each other.

This sentence describes the relationship between historical events and the dating of archaeological artifacts from the historical period.

Here is the breakdown:

  • รวมทั้ง: Including
  • เหตุการณ์: Events
  • ที่เกิดขึ้นสืบเนื่องกันมา: That have occurred in succession
  • สัมพันธ์กับ: Related to
  • รูปแบบอายุสมัย: Dating methods
  • ของโบราณวัตถุ: Of archaeological artifacts
  • สมัยประวัติศ่สตร์: From the historical period

Therefore, the sentence can be translated as:

"Including the events that have occurred in succession, related to the dating methods of archaeological artifacts from the historical period."

All of the temples were built both inside and outside the city after the mid-19th century.



In 1939, the government changed the name of Chiang Saen district to Mae Chan.

And moved the office to Mae Chan, about 30 kilometers away from the original district office.

The subdistrict where the district office is located is called Chiang Saen Mai or Chiang Saen Mae Chan, while the town of Chiang Saen has the status of a minor district.

In 1957, Chiang Saen was elevated to the status of a district.

The government has established a committee to restore Chiang Saen district.

Entrusted with the Department of Fine Arts to carry out the restoration and renovation

And to conserve the important historical sites in Chiang Saen since 1957.

Current Traces of Ancient Sites in Chiang Saen District

This sentence describes the current state of archaeological remains in Chiang Saen District. It suggests that there are remnants of ancient structures still visible in the area.

They are often the ruins of Buddhist structures, such as pagodas and viharas.

Most of which are listed in the chronicles of Muang Ngern Yang, Chiang Saen.

There are a total of 140 temples, divided into two groups: 76 temples within the city and 65 temples outside the city.

The naming of various temples is based on their locations as recorded in the Chronicles of Lanna, which were written at a later date. Notable and intriguing historical sites.

**Information from http://www.chiangraifocus.com/2010/travelView.php?id=128&aid=3**



Personally, I find Chiang Saen to be a charming and peaceful city. It's a hidden gem with a unique character.

The ancient city was surrounded by a wall and a moat, suggesting that it must have been a prosperous place in the past.

Ancient temple ruins are so abundant that they are practically interspersed with people's homes.

The scenery is strangely beautiful and mystical, with people living seemingly simple lives.

The small inner city, enclosed by the ancient walls, is quite charming.



We drove around the city walls, observing the ruins of various temples and civilizations.

Visiting Wat Pa Sak

A visit to Wat Pa Sak costs only 10 baht per person, making it a very affordable attraction.

There are no tourists at all. I wonder where they will get the money to maintain the historical sites. I'm a little worried.

After taking some photos, we started to feel hungry, so we decided to try some local food.


English:


I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but it was located by the Mekong River and served Sichuan-style Chinese cuisine.

This restaurant would be a good choice for those who enjoy this type of cuisine.



It was extremely greasy, with a strange combination of greasy and spicy flavors that I can't quite describe.

The lingering greasy taste stuck in my throat, making me feel nauseous. Even drinking tea couldn't alleviate it.

Luckily, I found a 7-Eleven, so I stopped by to get something sour to quench the greasy feeling. I got two bags of pickled mangoes, which helped a lot.

We are full from here (actually not full, but can't eat anymore, will go find snacks at 7-Eleven). Let's go to Chiang Saen Lake.


Located just outside the city, the official name is Nong Bongkay Wildlife Sanctuary.



Note: The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Please provide the text you want me to translate.

The government has built a spillway to store water, resulting in an increase in the volume of the pond.

This area has been declared a wildlife sanctuary by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

On April 4, 1985, and was registered as an internationally important wetland.

The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, also known as the Ramsar Convention, is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.

On July 5, 2001, covering an area of approximately 2,711 rai.

Information from Chiang Rai Focus



This place is so beautiful, we think. It's vast, peaceful, and there's no one around.

I read that the sunset is beautiful, but we went at noon when the sun was quite strong.

Though still very beautiful, it's a pity that it's not the blooming season.



A bamboo bridge stretches across the lake, passing through a multitude of lotus flowers and water hyacinths.

If there were flowers here, it would be incredibly beautiful. There are also tourist accommodations available.

The winter atmosphere here must be amazing. We can stop by and take some beautiful photos to satisfy our cravings.

Let's embark on our journey to the destination, Saeng Arun Farm.


English:


The farm informed us that we must check in before 5:00 PM.

However, the kitchen actually closes at 6:00 PM.

If we arrive after the kitchen closes, it will be difficult because there is nothing in the area, no shops.

There's nothing for us to buy, no restaurants, just an eerily quiet village.

(If you go a little further, it's Chiang Khong, which should be lively.)

The journey offers breathtaking views, with the road winding along the Mekong River, offering vistas of rice fields, mountains, and the majestic river itself.

We stopped to take photos along the way, unconsciously addicted to the roadside views.




As we approached Chiang Khong, we spotted a coffee shop sign.

Translation:

Oh my god, I'm so relieved! I only found one in this area, in front of Wat Si Don Moon.

However, there might be another one in Chiang Khong, but we were too exhausted to continue searching. It was a close call, we were almost desperate.

A quick review with a photo. If you're in the area, it's worth a try. It could be delicious, or maybe I was just craving it.

And then we went straight to the farm from the main road.

It's a long way to go, more than ten kilometers. It's far, but it's worth the trip.

Upon arrival, check-in with the receptionist.


And then receive roselle juice as a welcome drink.


And order dinner in advance. We'll be there around 4:15.


Our innermost back, Rim Khong 3


The room wasn't very spacious, but it was airy and didn't feel cramped. The balcony was perfect for stargazing at night, it was amazing.




The bathroom has an open roof shower, so you can shower while looking at the stars. It's quite romantic.

The view from the balcony

The room is well-equipped with everything you need, including a TV, refrigerator, and electric kettle. All drinks in the refrigerator are complimentary.

Translation:


Drinking water, various fruit juices, tea, coffee, and cup noodles are available.

We discussed the possibility of accommodating customers who arrive after dark.

There's nothing left to eat, so I'm living on instant noodles. Haha.



The Sang Arun farm has two sides, with a road cutting through the middle. The side we stayed at is the one by the Mekong River.

There are only three rooms available. The other side faces the rice fields and mountains.

After walking for kilometers through rice fields, we had to climb almost two hundred steps up the mountain. Whew!

Guests staying on the mountain side have the option to remain in their rooms if they do not wish to venture out. Breakfast and dinner are delivered to their rooms in tiffin carriers by the staff.



Walking up and down the stairs repeatedly is not recommended as it can lead to leg fatigue. However, the view is stunning.

The mountain view was stunning. We took a short walk in the morning to enjoy it.

However, it does not reach the accommodation above. Give up before the Mekong River is close. Check in and walk down to the accommodation.

................................................................................................................................

Translation:

We went out for dinner at 5:30 pm by the Mekong River. The weather was lovely, but the only downside was that there were a lot of mosquitoes.

Translation:

They also have mosquito repellent spray, but it's annoying when they keep flying around.



Translation:

While waiting for the food, I took some fun photos.


The dishes we ordered included stir-fried vegetables, winged bean salad, some kind of fried fish, and chicken in galangal soup.


The vegetables are homegrown in a plot by the Mekong River, ensuring freshness.

Translation:



The photo is not very clear. I was hungry, so I used my mobile phone to take a quick picture.

After finishing dinner, I returned to my room to gaze at the stars. The silence and darkness here are overwhelming.

Translation:


The stars have been twinkling since six in the evening, and the Milky Way has been prominent since one in the morning. I am so happy at this point.

Despite my lack of experience in photographing the Milky Way, I followed online instructions and managed to capture this image.

Here is the translation of the sentence:

I was so happy that night. I slept soundly and woke up to a beautiful and refreshing morning.

I hope this is helpful!



Went out to take pictures in the fields on the other side, planning to go up and see the houses on that side as well.

The journey ahead is long, requiring you to traverse rice fields, lotus ponds, and ascend a mountain.


Along the way, we encountered villagers tending to their fields and rice paddies.


In conclusion, we were unable to reach the top. We climbed halfway up the stairs but decided to turn back. We took some zoomed-in pictures of the house instead.


Let's go back and have breakfast.

Breakfast was enjoyed by the Mekong River, as usual.

The breakfast menu offers both rice porridge and ABF. We ordered both.

Okay, let's sit down and enjoy the view while reading a book in this peaceful and beautiful place.

After eating, they took a walk to enjoy the surrounding atmosphere.


Convert vegetables.

After that, we packed our things and checked out. It's a pity we only had the weekend, I really wanted to stay longer.


We like it, but it would be even more beautiful if it were colder. However, the rainy season is also beautiful and refreshing. The rice fields are just the right shade of green.

Another aspect I would like to commend is the excellent service provided by the staff. They were attentive to every detail.

Translation:

Constantly inquiring if anything is missing or incomplete.

As the sun shifts during breakfast, he diligently follows its movement, adjusting the parasol to shield us from its rays.

I like it. It seems very friendly and kind.


However, it is important to note that those who come here are seeking a quiet and relaxing stay.

There are hardly any tourist attractions, restaurants, or activities in this area.

Ideal for those seeking tranquility.

This likely evokes a different feeling.


We should head back now. We have other places to visit before our flight at 9:45 PM.

There is still enough time to travel around as appropriate on the way back. The same route.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit Wat Phra That Pha Ngao.

The name of this temple comes from the name of the Phra That Pha Ngao.

Resembling the shape of a pagoda and providing excellent shade.

Villagers therefore named it "Phra That Pha Ngao".

Before the temple was relocated to its current location, it was originally known as "Wat Sop Kham".

The bank of the Mekong River has collapsed.

The flood submerged almost the entire temple, leaving it nearly submerged in the Mekong River.

The faithful community relocated the temple to a new site on a nearby hill.


This area was originally a cave called Tham Pha Ngao.

In February 1976, the forest was cleared.

The cave entrance was sealed for a long time, causing the area to become overgrown with vegetation.

Translation:

Scattered throughout the area are numerous ancient artifacts.

And discovered the Buddha statue of Luang Pho Pha Ngern.

March 17, 1976

Beneath the tree stump in front of the main Buddha statue, there are ancient bricks arranged in a row.

The structure is remarkably beautiful. Experts in archaeology have analyzed that

This Buddha statue is estimated to be between 700 and 1,300 years old.

Information from http://www.dhammajak.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=16697

This is a scenic viewpoint.

Offering panoramic views of the Golden Triangle and surrounding areas.

You can drive up, or if you're feeling energetic, you can walk up the stairs.

Before reaching the top viewpoint, there is a beautiful ubosot.

This area is eerily quiet. It might be a meditation area, but I'm not sure.

The ubosot is open to the public.

This is an art style similar to that of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang.

Translation:

Very beautiful indeed.

Translation:

The summit offers a breathtaking panoramic view. The scenery is magnificent, and the atmosphere is serene.

Translation:


And then pay respects at the stupa on top.

Enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the stunning views. There is only one coffee shop, but the coffee is quite good.




The Golden Triangle is a region where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet.

I have heard of this place for a long time, and I imagined it to be a desolate wasteland.

Upon seeing the real thing, wow, my child is so imaginative. The Golden Triangle is so beautiful.

It would be truly amazing to cycle along the Mekong River.

Do you think it was more lively and prosperous in the past?

There are many buildings, houses, hotels, restaurants, plazas, and shops.

However, all of the aforementioned establishments are now abandoned, dilapidated, and closed for business.



Even the large hotels that are still open look very shabby and deserted.

Only a few stalls selling various goods remained, deserted and desolate.

Why is no one visiting here anymore? Is it the economy or a decline in popularity?

Is it not yet the tourist season in this area?



Enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the Mekong River.



Leaving the Golden Triangle, we headed towards Baan Dam.



and a National Artist of Thailand in Visual Arts (Painting).

Thaworn Duchanee's biography (Thai)



The Black House is located at 414 Moo 13, Nang Lae Subdistrict, Mueang District.

Previously, when I saw various review posts mentioning the Black House,

The word "house" doesn't necessarily imply a large structure.



Upon seeing the real thing,

Every piece of architecture is magnificent and awe-inspiring.



A monumental work, befitting of Professor Thawan Duchanee's stature.

Indeed, everything here has meaning and hidden depth.

Everything is so fascinating, exciting, and astonishing that we can't even begin to comprehend it.

However, do we understand? Do we know what is going on? Let's be honest, no!

"As an ordinary person, I don't understand such profound matters."

More organized than other Chinese tours I've encountered.


From the Black House Museum, we continue to the White Temple.

I must admit, it was breathtakingly beautiful. However, when it comes to visiting again, I'd have to give it some serious thought.

I love temples and the works of Ajarn Chalermchai, they are indescribably beautiful.

However, what I disliked was the overwhelming crowd. It was incredibly crowded and chaotic.

The photos do not show much because it was difficult to find a space without people. It was so crowded that it was frustrating.


Truly amazing.

Visitors to the White Temple should not miss the opportunity to explore the gallery.


Many works by Professor Chalermchai are in there, but photography is not allowed.

After visiting the White Temple, it was already late in the evening. We stopped to grab a bite to eat before heading to the airport.

This restaurant is located by the Kok River. After crossing the Kok River Bridge, turn left at the first traffic light.


On the way, we talked about how the name of the shop sounds like a folk music style.

Translation:

The text discusses the taste of coffee, cake, and snacks, but the author hasn't tried them and therefore cannot comment on their deliciousness.

We went out for dinner and ordered regular dishes.

This place offers a wide variety of cuisines, including Western, Thai, local Thai dishes, and much more.


The honey lemon soda and plum soda I ordered were delicious.

We chose to sit in the riverside zone under the shade of a tree. We asked the waiter if the fruit was poisonous.

If it's not poisonous, we can continue eating it. No problem. 555.

We said it's okay, it's not poisonous, we can handle it, no worries.

Impressed, the younger staff member immediately took the glass and replaced it with a new one.

I'm not sure if the other dishes are delicious or not. I've seen reviews that say they are.

The taste is truly delicious and satisfying. The "pohp tek" is particularly flavorful and spicy.


For the two of us, this taste is considered acceptable.


If you're ever in Chiang Rai, be sure to check out this amazing restaurant! The decor is absolutely stunning.

If you are having dinner, it is recommended to sit inside.

The atmosphere by the Kok River outside is indeed pleasant.

However, there were a lot of mosquitoes. The spray provided by the shop was ineffective.


The price is reasonable.

Translation:

One steak, one set of stir-fried rice with young green chili paste and side dishes.

A small pot of "po tak ta lay" seafood cost 900 baht.


For photography enthusiasts, it is recommended to visit during the day, as the restaurant has many stylish and beautiful photo spots.


The service staff were excellent, even though there were many customers.

The staff constantly came to ask if anything was needed.

How is the taste of the food? Is it good or bad?



After finishing dinner, we still had plenty of time left. We had already checked in through our mobile phones.


Bored with waiting at the airport, we decided to take a drive around the city.


I ended up getting lost and wandering around, eventually finding myself near the clock tower. Since I was already there, ...

Let's find a place to park and take some photos.

Translation:

...............................................................................................

Translation:

Let me tell you, this moment right now is the absolute peak of our Chiang Rai trip.

I am surprised at myself. What is there to savor and enjoy so much?

It's purely a matter of feelings.


I have heard that it is a new clock tower designed by Professor Chalermchai.

It was not previously a subject of significant interest.

As I was standing taking a picture, an uncle walked up and tapped me on the shoulder, saying:

"Excuse me, this angle doesn't show the lotus flowers in bloom. You need to stand here, come quickly."

The lotus will bloom soon. Come, come.


We followed the uncle's instructions and stood there, confused. We looked at each other and wondered, "What kind of lotus is blooming now?"

There are no lotus ponds or lotus bathtubs in this area. I'm so confused.

Alright, I'll trust you.


The music began to play before I could catch my breath.

The colorful lights at the clock tower kept changing, so beautiful! I couldn't stop taking pictures, some clear, some not so clear.

And then, at exactly 7 pm, the lotus flower under the clock tower slowly emerged and bloomed.

Exquisitely beautiful.


I finally understand the blooming lotus flower that my uncle mentioned.

This is how it is, truly magnificent.

Translation:


The vibrant colors and melodious music create a breathtaking scene, as the lotus blossoms bloom in full glory.

The petals gradually closed, returning to their original position beneath the base.

We believe that the light and sound show is over.

Getting ready to go back, it turns out that...



" On a night that still lingers in my heart,

The night was shimmering with the bright light of the moon.

The cool breeze from the Kok River flows through the air.

Penetrates the skin.

That night in Chiang Rai, it was just you and me.


The cold wind is getting stronger.

Why have you forgotten the love we built on the banks of Chiang Rai?

Unforgettable Heartbreak...



The melodious song drifted on the breeze of early winter.

And then we were suddenly spellbound.


The clock tower continues to change its vibrant colors.

Translation:

Believe it or not, everything we've seen on this trip…

Before this hour, we did not feel much about anything anywhere.




Until I heard this song, here, at this time.

Translation:

Everything from the moment I arrived at Mae Fah Luang Airport.

An indescribable sense of intoxication flooded my heart, filling it to the brim.

Even after returning to Bangkok, we still dreamily reminisce about Chiang Rai.

I feel the same way…

The two-day, one-night trip to Chiang Rai came to a beautiful end.
