It's a wonderful place and has the most beautiful toilets on planet earth.

First time I went was before the horde had arrived in LOS and it was a very pleasant day, but second time after the horde  had invaded it was horrible trying to get around.

If never been, make the effort to do so. Well worth it.

As a former volunteer with the Tourist Police in Chiang Rai, if you are in the area, do go and visit whilst the Chinese tour parties are absent - it is fantastic and no doubt you will be able to get some excellent photos without Chinese tourists. There are also new gold decorated buildings within the complex. The founder, architect and builder of the complex is the same man who painted the "Tham Luang Cave Rescue" mural.

I doubt we'll see many Chinese this year, there is a second wave that's hitting Beijing at the moment.

Schools are closing, confinement is back, hundreds of commercial fights are cancelled, etc...

Let's wait and see.

Personally, I found Bahn Si Dum far more interesting and also far less crowded.

Since the chap who owns it "threw a track" over the behaviour of Chinese tourists a while back, I doubt that he will be too upset at their absence!
