Chiang Rai: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Chiang Rai is the largest city in the extreme north of Thailand. Located close to the borders with Burma and Laos, the city serves as the point of departure for numerous excursions in the Golden Triangle.
My suggestion
Once night falls, head for Chiang Rai's central square to enjoy local dishes whilst watching concerts and dancing (more or less traditional in style). On the menu: pad Thai, fried chicken, shrimp, etc.
This town at the northern limits of Thailand is the departure point for visiting the Golden Triangle, which marks the border between Thailand, Myanmar and Laos.

Rent a bike to really experience the calmness of the town around the market.
Chiang Rai is a town perched in the mountains in the northern part of the country, near the border between Laos and Myanmar and the famous Golden Triangle.
My suggestion
