Temps in the day were 40 degrees C. HEAT WAVE. Walking was not plesant. Went to Singha Park, was too hot to really the place. Will be back in Winter. 0 degrees C.

    After spending 17 days in Bangkok, Chiang Rai was a nice break for 3 days. Quiet, slower pace of life. Lovely night bazaar with lots of food options (love the hot pot) and live music. Wat Rong Khun white temple, Wat Rong Seur blue temple and Wat Huay Pla Kang big Buddha are worth seeing. Khun Korn NationalPark is worth the hike up to the waterfall - bamboo jungle and cold refreshing swim. We were here in mid-March so farmers are burning and very hazy up north so did not go to the golden triangle.

    If Chiang Mai is the "jewel of the north" then Chiang Rai is...

    If Chiang Mai is the "jewel of the north" then Chiang Rai is the "Emerald of the True North". Chiang Rai history dates back beyond Chiang Mai and was the original Lanna city state founded by King Mengrai in the mid 1200s AD. This king of times long past is still revered and remembered to this day by Lanna people. Chiang Rai has history coming out of its cobblestones and weblike laneways. I won't try to list them here because they are easy to find in many other reviews and info sheets. What I can do here is just to raise interest in one of the most understated jewels of Thailand. Chiang Rai is the central hub of Lanna culture today. And the Lanna language is still spoken commonly all around Chiang Rai province. In many homes it's the preferred language until kids start going to school and so can be heard all over the place. I've often heard conversations where people interchange Lanna with Thai ... very confusing. The temples and shrines of Chiang Rai province are just as spectacular and just as mystical as any elsewhere in Thailand. And the history of the Lanna people is integrally intertwined in all the older temples, chedis, stupas, salas and other public places. Chiang Rai province is renowned for its coffee at Doi Chang and other places. It's also one of the major tea growing areas of Asia. Mountainous landscapes eclipse anything that can be seen further south and the weather is always a bit cooler and fresher air than further south also. A short drive north can take you up to the Myanmar border at Mai Sai and you can even go visit the Mekong River in all its glory. If you plan to visit Northern Thailand and only go as far as Chiang Mai then you are missing out BIGTIME!!! So I suggest you 'do yourself a favour' and make plans to explore Chiang Rai and all its provincial eye-catching destinations soon. Happy Travels.

    Others can talk about the White Temple, Blue Temple etc etc...

    Others can talk about the White Temple, Blue Temple etc etc I simply want to say that Chiang Rai offers a hugely different perspective to that of any other Thailand city ... and it's MORE than worth your while to visit. The surrounding mountains and various attractions there are multitudinous. The temples are just as impressive (for Buddhists and non-Buddhist alike) as in Chiang Mai and in fact Chiang Rai predates Chiang Mai as the famous King Mengai's capital city for his Lanna Kingdom. The Lanna culture is unique in all of Southeast Asia and Chiang Rai is really still the epicentre of Lanna and all its aspects. If you are looking for a truly cultural and spectacular holiday experience then Chiang Rai is one place that YOU SHOULD NOT MISS. So do yourself a favour and get yourself up to Chiang Rai ... in the Lanna lands of clouds and smiles!

    Visited the Balloon Fiesta in Singha Park.

    Visited the Balloon Fiesta in Singha Park. Plenty to see and do, we'll probably do it again next year. I was lucky enough to visit the White Temple during Covid, and although it wasn't possible to go inside it was lovely to be able to see it without the crowds. Having just driven past this time I wasn't sure it would be worth the wait in the queue to go inside.

    Chiang Rai is a nice place with friendly people, which can meet the needs/expectations of different people with varied tastes. It is not very touristy, so much more natural. Rent a car and it is easy to get about with Google Maps. Enjoy the natural environment, the food and fruits, and various attractions.

    This hotel was literally an oasis in the city. I can’t even explain it. The tons and tons of trees and flowers that surround the rooms and all in the middle of the city! Incredible. A shout out to Eddie , a tour guide who is affiliated with the hotel. Ask for him at the front desk. He took us around on a private tour of the highlights of Chiang Rai and then drove us to Chiang Mai. I can’t say enough about how he made our visit enjoyable and easy. His English was pretty good too!

    Our stay was quite decent overall, with a few positives worth mentioning. Firstly, the cleanliness of the hotel was decent. One of the standout features was its convenient location. Situated just a few blocks away from the city center, we found it convenient for accessing nearby amenities such as massages, supermarkets, and restaurants. Furthermore, I found the pricing to be reasonable.

    Quiet location and big, clean room and toilet. Staff is very friendly. May be about 10km away from city centre, but it's convenient if you have your own transport. Better yet, it's within 1km from Chiang Rai beach with plenty of food stalls and dining beside the Mae Kok River's sandbar beach. Very nice and chill environment.
