Chiang Rai

Overview

Chiang Rai is a city located in the northernmost part of Thailand, where mountains and the Kok River embrace a peaceful space. As dawn breaks, soft pink light shines through the roofs of temples and green trees, creating a serene and sacred scene. The valleys, forests, and surrounding plateaus possess a pristine beauty, with low-hanging clouds drifting over cliffs and tea hills. At sunset, golden sunlight bathes the tiled pagodas, the water's surface, and the streets, making the scenery appear brilliantly gilded. The harmony between the natural mountainous landscape, Lanna culture, and the tranquil atmosphere makes Chiang Rai a place where travelers want to pause to experience the serenity and warmth.
