180 kilometers to the northwest of Chiang Mai, the city of Chiang Rai nestles on the banks of the Me Kok River and is part of the famous Golden Triangle area. Near by Chiang Saen is where the borders of Burma, Laos, and Thailand meet. Perhaps the most pleasant way to reach the township of The Thon. From Chiang Mai, as air-conditioned bus sets out hourly for the three-hour journey. A visit to Chiang Rai would not be compete without a visit to the Doi Tung Development Project, begun under the Royal Patronage of the mother of H.M. the King. The project is situated on the Reclining Lady Mountains on the Myanmar border, where once the hillsides were covered were covered with opium fields.

Today, Doi Tung has become one of Thailand's main tourist attractions where lovers of nature go the see deferent flora and faun from all over the world in the Mae Fah Luang Arboretum. Furthermore, the Royal Villa presents a beautiful combination in architectural design of Swiss chalet, Log cabin, and Lanna style. More than 300 residents of Doi Tung, from different ethnic groups, show their skills in handicraft production, which are exported to deferent corners of the world.

In the Chiang Rai Province there are a number of natural caves, such as Thum Luang (Big Cave), Thum Poo (Crab Cave), and Thum Pa (Fish Cave), near Khun-nam Nangnorn. They are known for their spectacular interiors but watch out for curious monkeys who like to investigate your belongings.

This ancient city was built in 1292 and has many fine temples and artifacts to view. Chiang Rai was also constructed by King Mengrai and predates Chiang Mai by four years.
