Chiang Rai

Surrounded by lush jungle and rocky mountains, Chiang Rai is debatably the best place in all of Thailand for Trekking

Chiang Rai founded in 1262, was the original capital of Thailand’s Lanna Kingdom. Chiang Rai went on to become one of the 77 provinces in Thailand, and is the quiet neighbour of the now capital, Chiang Mai. Chiang Rai being a smaller city, is a perfect location for a getaway with its relaxing atmosphere and picturesque surroundings. The city boasts many attractions to please all types of travellers and offers a rare opportunity to really experience the culture of Northern Thailand.

The city boasts many attractions to please all types of travellers and offers a rare opportunity to really experience the culture of Northern Thailand. The city is also notorious for having some of the best traditional Thai cuisine in the country, which can be enjoyed at many of the local restaurants.

A holiday in Thailand can be very predictable when it comes to the climate, as most of the country experiences similar conditions.

Chiang Rai is best visited in dry season, October through January, where the temperatures are at their coolest and the days are not disrupted by any storms. The hotter months of February to May are also pleasant, however you can expect to spend a lot more time cooling off in the beach when the temperatures rise above 40°C.  If you’ve planned your holiday to Thailand in April, don’t miss the Songkran Festival celebrating the Thai New Year and is by far the biggest party in the Chiang Rai. Highly recommended that visitors consider this time of year when booking holidays in Thailand, to be a part of the action.
