Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a charming northern Thai city near the borders of Myanmar and Laos. Famous for the extraordinary White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) designed by Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, it also houses the vibrant Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten). Chiang Rai serves as the gateway to the Golden Triangle region and diverse hill tribe communities of northern Thailand. A more relaxed alternative to Chiang Mai.
