清莱 Attractions
Lying in the Golden Triangle where Thailand borders Myanmar and Laos, the province of Chiang Rai is relaxed and down-to-earth, but certainly not lacking in attractions. While the province’s namesake capital draws fewer tourists than its sister city of Chiang Mai, those in the know come to Chiang Rai for its awesome value, incredible cuisine, and proximity to vivid hillside villages and outdoor adventure. Guests can explore the city’s Lanna Kingdom heritage through its beautiful temples, local handicrafts, and mouthwatering food, while the far reaches of the province offer landscapes filled with misty mountains, verdant jungles, and winding rivers.
