- In this episode of our family travel vlog, we head up to the edge of Thailand to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle with the kids! It was only an overnight trip, but man did we pack a ton in. Karen Long-Neck Villages, Monkey Temples, Black House, Blue and White Temples, plus more. I’m not even sure how we were able to squeeze everything in, but it was so worth it, check it out.

We were picked up from our AirBnB by our driver for the next two days. Our first stop on the way up to The Golden Triangle was a natural hot springs, which quite frankly was just to hot for us, but it worked out as a great bathroom break.
After the hot springs, we headed up to a Karen Long Neck Village. The girls had a blast spending time with the little girls in the tribe. It’s always amazing to us how kids will be kids, no matter what their background.
Our final stop of the day before getting to the Golden Triangle was a Monkey Temple/Cave. This was not your typical Monkey Temple. These suckers were really aggressive. It should have been more obvious to us when we walked through the gates and they handed each of us a “monkey beating” stick, what we were getting into to. It was a pretty exciting time, and we were only attacked once...poor Paige.
The last stop of the day was the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and the Ruak River come together and you can see Laos and Myanmar while standing in Thailand. After a few photos, we headed out to dinner in Chiang Rai and had the opportunity to watch the clock tower downtown put on its light show.
We woke up fairly early the next day, had a decent breakfast and headed to our first stop The Black House. The Black House, aka Baan Dam Museum, was originally the home of Thawan Duchanee, a famous Thai contemporary artist, it now houses much of his work, plus other artists work. It is a very interesting stop and certainly not what we were expecting.
The Blue Temple was next...and guess what? It was very blue. The contrast of the dark blue and gold was really striking and was one of the more unique temples that we’ve seen in our travels.
A Chinese Temple was next, which consisted of a huge white statue. The temple was so big it felt like we were the only one there.
Our final stop was the famous White Temple of Chiang Rai. Unknown to us was the fact that the white temple is actually privately owned and because of this, has some pretty quirky features. The head of Deadpool hanging from a tree, yep, the predator climbing out the ground, you betcha, and let's not forget fancy ironman. In spite of the quirkiness and the skeleton statues that look like their clawing their way onto the pathway as you walk in, it was a really beautiful temple, just don’t look too closely…
Next up is our final video in Chiang Mai and then we’re off to Bali!

What an unbelievable overnight trip. What are your favorite overnight trips you have ever taken?
You know ours. Floating bungalows in Khao Sok!!
Beautiful footage. You guys are underrated!
Thank you, we're working on it!
Love your videos!
+Kate Markey thanks for the support! It’s tough to keep up with them while juggeling all the travel!
Love the quality of your videos! As someone who loves to travel, I think it would be great if you shared some travel tips and hacks that you have found helpful!
+Elisabeth Bunch we are starting a Q&A series which will be a combination of us answering questions and other full time travel families we’ve met on the road. Hopefully we’ll be able to answer some of your questions there!
beautiful video! I really love the editing. Remember to wear pants that cover your knees though when you go to the temple, it is disrespectful to show your knees.
Always do our best to respect local culture and traditions. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome edits. I think we may need to stay at the same place so I can get some lessons. My leveling up is slow going. This is what I wanted my little rice whacking to look like...in my head it did. Lol 🙈🙈🙈
Let’s grab a day together in Bangkok and get it done! I’m still learning too!
Love the video!!! How did you like it there?!
+Words with Winos Travel Vlog we had a really great time, we only really heard about the white temple, so all the other stops were really great surprises!
I gave you guys a shoutout on my Instagram because you guys definitely need more followers, you deserve it 💗
Thank you! We appreciate it!
Can I just say I love the content you produce it’s just extraordinary the places you have been, do you ever regret selling everything to travel ?
@@emiliaslade5068 Thank you! We are just trying to figure out all this video editing stuff, it's so much fun but also exhausting trying to do it while juggling all that goes with traveling as a family. We actually haven't quite made the full commitment to never go home and we still own ours. Three years ago we left for a month, the second year...two months, and now we took the school year off. Our original intent was just to take one year off, but it is beginning to look like this will extend at least into another year. We've been discussing just how great it's been for our family, our girls certainly miss their friends and cousins, but we've met so many wonderful people in our travels, some of whom we've run into over and over again in different countries! It's really strange just how many families are out there doing exactly what we're doing!
Ragged Shoes - Family Travel Vlog wow it sounds so much fun I hope you all stay safe during your tremendous travelling ❤️
