Chiang Rai

From Chiang Mai it is just a short hop by plane or about three hours by car to the capital of Thailand’s northernmost province, Chiang Rai. Northeast of Chiang Rai is Chiang Saen, on the banks of the Mekong river. The site of an ancient and once powerful settlement, it is full of historic interest as well as being the nearest town to the famous “Golden Triangle” , where the confluence of the Mekong and Ruak rivers forms the border between Thailand , Myanmar and Laos - a famous and spellbinding spot.
