Chiang Rai Clock Tower

The Chiang Rai Clock Tower, an ornate structure by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, merges traditional and contemporary design. Gleaming in gold, it's not just a timekeeper but a symbol of the city's artistic spirit. For photo enthusiasts, the best visit time is at night when the tower is illuminated by a vibrant light show at 7 pm, 8 pm, and 9 pm, enhancing its intricate details against the backdrop of the dark sky. Around the tower, the ambiance of the bustling city life with local markets and street performers adds color and texture to your photographs, capturing the essence of Chiang Rai's culture and nightlife. Positioning yourself a short distance from the tower allows you to frame compelling compositions that include both the tower and its vibrant surroundings.
