Chiang Rai, the northernmost province of Thailand is about 785 kilometers north of Bangkok and has an average elevation of 580 meters above sea level. Chiang Rai is situated in the Mae Kok River basin. It reaches from the Mekong River
to the north, to Chiang Mai province to the
south, and borders both Myanmar and Laos, and
China is 265 km. away by boat. Chiang Rai is surrounded by |
mountains with evergreen and deciduous
forests, tea plantations and lovely waterfalls.
There are a variety of hill
tribes (minority peoples from
China and Myanmar) to be found in the area,
including Karen, Mien, Hmong, Lisu, Lahu, and
Akha. The friendliness of the local people,
along with their magnificent arts and culture,
attract visitors from all over the world. The
Golden Triangle, historically
connected to the opium and heroin trade, is
the meeting point of three national borders
( Thailand , Laos and Myanmar). You can relax
and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Doi Mae Salong
and Doi Tung. At Doi Tung you may explore the
Royal Villa (the first residence of the Princess
Mother) and her Flower Garden. Adventurous activities
such as elephant
riding, trekking,
and boat trips are available here as well.

If you don't like one of our set tour programs,
we can put a custom trip
together, or adapt our programs to suit
your needs. We can design
a complete, custom trip to suit your interests
and the time you have available. Allow me to
take care of you and show you the beauty and
wonders of my homeland when you visit Chiang
Rai and Northern Thailand.
