Tailor-made Chiang Rai Travel Experiences

The charming country town Chiang Rai is set scenically amidst magnificent mountain landscapes on the banks of the Maenam Kok, a tributary of the mighty Mekong. The wonderful flair of the surroundings make Chiang Rai a superb destination for exploring Thailand’s pristine north. Chiang Rai is the largest of the cities in the renowned Golden Triangle between the countries Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Formerly famously infamous for the production of opium poppy, the fields are nowadays planted with fruits, vegetables and coffee. Moreover, today the Golden Triangle has become a popular destination putting three fascinating countries within easy reach and view of one another. A trekking tour through the lush forests of Chiang Rai is certainly the best way to explore and appreciate the scenic landscapes. The terraced rice fields are always at hand, a dominant feature of a region that has become a staple food pantry for the entire country. Having been up and down the countryside, it is time to turn to the historic city and district capital Chiang Rai. Radiating quiet beauty, welcoming Chiang Rai hides a number of most notable temples to start with. Chiang Rai Beach on the banks of the Kok River is the perfect place to put your feet up with a cold drink at hand and the night market offers you the opportunity to sample various north Thai delicacies. Chiang Rai’s laid-back flair has promoted a number of stylish and idyllically set boutique resorts complete with a panorama view, spa facilities and exquisite restaurants focusing on the local specialities. The INTOSOL team has fallen in love with the region and can whole-heartedly recommend a number of fabulous retreats. But then, there is so much to see and do you will have to think hard how much time to spend back at your accommodation. The white temple Wat Rong Khun is a masterpiece designed by the Thai artist Chalermchai Kositpipat. Despite its not having been completely finished, its graceful white walls, fascinating details and intriguing sculptures and paintings fully merit a visit!
