After admiring the beauty of Wat Rong Khun, we set off to visit another famous temple in Chiang Rai, Wat Rong Suea Ten. Located in the Rong Suea Ten community, Rim Kok sub-district, Mueang Chiang Rai district, the temple's main highlight is its new blue-hued ordination hall, built in a contemporary Thai style. The unique and beautiful artwork was created by Phutta Kabkaew, also known as Salanok, a local Chiang Rai artist who was once a student of Ajarn Chalermchai Kositpipat.

Unfortunately, the camera battery died before we could take more pictures of this temple.


After paying our respects at the temple, we headed straight to Doi Mae Salong, our final destination for this trip.

It was late afternoon by the time we reached Doi Mae Salong, so we went straight to our accommodation. This is our room at Phu Meung Tawan Resort.

Phu Mek Ta Wan Resort, a small resort where you can watch the sunrise from your bed. The location is on a high ground near a famous tea plantation, Rai Cha 101, allowing you to see the tea plantation scenery from a high angle from your room's balcony. Moreover, the price is affordable, starting at 1,xxx baht with breakfast, which is considered very worthwhile compared to the beautiful atmosphere on Doi Mae Salong.


Although we could see the 101 tea plantation and the sun was setting, the battery of our camera was fully charged. We decided to capture the evening atmosphere at the 101 tea plantation, but when we arrived, all the vendors had already packed up.


As we chatted, we discovered that this place also offers a Korean BBQ buffet. Let's go! Korean BBQ can heal anything, haha. Come on, what are we waiting for?

The restaurant is located a short drive uphill, with a steep incline. The evening atmosphere at the top differs slightly from that below, with the orange hues of the setting sun adding a touch of romance.


Our small-sized pork set is priced at 600 baht, which may seem expensive at first glance. However, considering the generous portion size, it is actually quite reasonable. The set includes two plates of pork, one with lean meat and the other with fatty meat, three plates of fresh vegetables, and one plate of side dishes. Two people can barely finish it.


☀️ The morning section will also be filled with the atmosphere of the sunrise at Phu Mek Tawan Resort!!
You can watch the sunrise from your bed.


We then hoped to see the fog at the Phra Borommathat Chedi Srinagarindra Sthit Mahasanthikhiri, but… we only saw a little bit in the distance.

The breakfast at the resort consisted of a variety of dishes, including rice porridge, omelets, stir-fried cabbage with fish sauce, and the highlight, Yunnan fermented tofu, which paired perfectly with the rice porridge.


Before heading back, let's stop by the 101 tea plantation for another photo opportunity.
