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.
