Touchdown in Bali and change of plans

Apparently the secret of happiness in life, and particularly when traveling, is to not have too many expectations. Unfortunately, we didn't follow this rule upon arrival on the Indonesian island of Bali. What, but everyone adores Bali, and especially Ubud, don't they?

White temple, black house

Chiang Rai is located to the north of Chiang Mai, a few hours drive away. We went there to visit to opposing sites, which were strangely complementary... The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) is a Buddhist temple whose construction began only in 1997. Still under construction, it won't be completed until the year 2070.
