Chiang Rai - Holiday guide
The northernmost region of Thailand was founded in 1262 by King Meng Rai and became the first capital of the Lanna Kingdom.
Chiang Rai is popular among the tourists for its cultural attractions including ancient artefacts and hilltop civilisations.
In and around the city there are many mouments celebrating Lanna Thai architecture and the Ku Phra Chao Meng Rai which holds the ashes relics of King Meng Rai.
One of, if the the most famous sights in the region is the Golden Triangle, the meeting point of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar (Burma), a must for sightseers.
