About this photo

Thailand's Golden Triangle, still crowd-free compared to much of the country, comprises the neighbouring provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in the far north. Expect to see wonderful temples, lush scenery and bustling market life. Huai Pla Kung Temple, pictured, is a traditional Chinese-styled pagoda, seven stories high, with impressive views from the top. Slightly out-of-town, it makes for an alternative visit from the busier temples in the city centre.  

Visit Thailand's Golden Triangle with Insight Guides for a chance to see some of the country's most beautiful and ornate wats (temples) on a tailormade trip designed especially for you.
