Chiang Rai is the oldest city in northern Thailand, founded in 1262!
November to April offers the best weather for travel. It’s a fantabulous time to feast on the city’s festivities, like the Chiang Rai Flower Festival and Songkran, the Thai New Year.
Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, part of a family group, or a solo wanderer, there’s no dearth of exciting activities in Chiang Rai. Take a slow boat trip on the Mekong, explore local craft workshops, or get lost in the local markets.
Feasting on local delicacies to your heart’s content will set you back about 200 THB per meal. A delightful tuk-tuk city tour could cost around 500 THB. Budget about 3000 THB for a comfy day-long guided tour.
Driving a rental car, zipping through the city in tuk-tuks, or leisurely strolls, manoeuvring through Chiang Rai is a piece of cake. Local buses are another cost-effective option.
Fly directly into Chiang Rai’s international airport or take a picturesque bus ride from Chiang Mai. You could also take boats or cross-border buses from neighbouring countries.
Chiang Rai welcomes you with visa on arrival for most countries. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay.
The city offers splendid hand-picked city centre hotels, each with its unique charm. Our top recommendations include the opulent Le Meridien Chiang Rai Resort (Rated 4.5/5), the boutique style Nak Nakara Hotel (Rated 4.3/5) and the tranquil The Legend Chiang Rai Boutique River Resort (Rated 4.3/5).
