Travel Destinations - Chiang Rai Province
The northernmost province of Thailand,
Chiang Rai is situated on the Kok River basin 416 metres above
sea level. With an area of some 11,678 square kilometres.
It is about 785 kilometres from Bangkok. Mostly mountainous,
it reaches the Mae Khong River to the north and borders on
both Myanmar and Laos.
The province is rich in tourism resources in term of natural
attractions and antiquities, evidence of its past civilisation.
It is also home to several hilltribes who follow fascinating
ways of life. Chiang Rai is also a tourism gateway into Myanmar
and Laos.
