Chiang Rai Attractions & Landmarks Guide

Who are the lanna.

Something you will hear on any cultural tour of Chiang Rai is that the city is noted for having a strong existing Lanna presence, in its architectural style and traditions,  but what exactly does this mean? The Lanna Kingdom (or the La Na), was a melting pot of cultures from the region that is now Northern Thailand . It was already well established by the 9th century, and were heavily influenced the nearby Khmer Empire.

When the Mongol empire began to rapidly expand, sacking the nearby Burmese Kingdom of Bagan, the Lanna Kingdom consolidated and appointed their first king. This king, King Magrai, based his kingdom just north of the city of Chiang Rai, and made Buddhism the religion of his kingdom.

Although he was mainly at war, he encouraged the arts and began by commissioning stunning temples, a practice he passed down to the leaders that followed him.

Today, despite the political upheaval and turmoil of its past, much of Lanna culture still exists. The most obvious way to see it is in the architecture in Chiang Rai (and Chiang Mai). Built of wood, known for its ornate carvings, and emphasis on curves and swirls.

In Chiang Rai, you can also treat yourself to see a traditional Lanna style dance , an elegant performance by local women draped in flowers and wearing colorful clothing.

Things to Do in Chiang Rai

  • Learn about the Lanna. The Oub Kham Museum, the Hill Tribe Museum, and Mae Fah Luang Art & Cultural Park all reflect and teach about the Lanna tradition, and the fact that there are three museums on the subject in this small city should be an indicator of how important this history is.
  • See some temples . Wat Klang Wiang is a gorgeous, must-see temple in the town, known for its distinctive and ornate style. Wat  Phra Kaew, Wat Phra Singh, and Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong (the temple at the highest point in the city), are other beautiful temples worth visiting.
  • Eat your heart out. There’s a reason thai food is one of the most popular in the world, but what you may not know is that it has a lot more to offer than red curry, pad thai, and fried rice.
  • Shop the markets . Not only are there fantastic open-air and night markets in Chiang Rai, but the Myanmar border is only a short trip away. At the border, you can experience a Burmese market as well.

Chiang Rai's Black & White Temples

Two of the main tourist in Chiang Rai are two different temples, known sometimes as the “White Temple” and the “Black Temple.” Both are architecturally so impressive, that some tourists make the 3 hour drive from nearby Chiang Mai to see one of the temples as a day trip.

Here is some more information about each temple to help you decide which to see if you’re limited in time, or just provide you more reason to go!

White Temple: Wat Rong Khun

One of Thailand’s most recognizable building, Wat Rong Khun is made up of a series of  glittering white structures made of plaster and glass, a perfectly manicured garden, and water features. It is one of the most popular attractions in all of Thailand.

To this day, this Buddhist temple is not complete, as final building plans call for 9 separate buildings and an art gallery. All of the current structures are representative of different Buddhist beliefs, from a bridge that represents the process of rebirth, to the murals depicting actual scenes from Buddhist stories.

Unlike other famous temples in Thailand , Wat Rong Khun as it stands today is not an ancient temple. The temple was in very poor repair until 2014, when an earthquake struck and architects decided to rebuild the buildings and add on to the complex.

The one building that isn’t white at the White Temple is the ornate Golden Building. The color gold represents material objects, and the entirely gold building stands to remind viewers to focus on making merit of their minds instead of physical objects.

Black Temple: Baan Dam

The Black Temple, or Baan Dam (which means “Black House” in Thai), is the other main temple attraction in Chiang Rai. The Black House is different to the White Temple in more ways than one, not just that it is primarily painted black. It is built in an interesting style fusing modern and traditional architecture.

The Thai architect Thawan Duchanee designed this more controversial site, which some people have viewed as “disrespecting Buddhism.” Like the White Temple, Baan Dam has a beautifully garden, but unlike the other temple, incorporates natural elements into its furniture and design.

Not only do rooms in the temple showcase antique furniture, but everything from shells to an entire elephant’s skeleton is on display. In fact, there are dozens of animal remains, from skins to skulls incorporated as artwork in each of the temple’s 15 houses.

Thailand Travel ADVICE

Thaizer Thailand

Thailand news, tips & advice

Chiang Rai is Thailand’s northern-most province and the region is home to some beautiful mountain scenery. Easier access and improved infrastructure has seen the area become an increasingly popular destination for budget travellers and upmarket tourists alike. The city of Chiang Rai makes a great base for the adventurous who wish to go rafting or trekking and many local tour companies offer the chance to stay overnight at a hill-tribe village.

chiang rai tour operators

Where to stay

Chiang Rai’s increasing popularity has seen a rise in the standard and variety of accommodation with something available for every budget although the choice is more limited than Chiang Mai. Budget and mid-range hotels and guest-houses can be found in the central area of the city with some notable upmarket options near the river like the Legend Chiang Rai.

What to see and do

Doi Tong is located in the north-west of the city close to the banks of the Kok River and a walk up to the top of Doi Tong offers fine views of the city and the river. Another viewpoint can be found south-west of the city at Doi Khao Kwai (Buffalo Horn Hill). The temple of Wat Khao Kwai has a terrace where the view can be enjoyed. Wat Phra Kaew is Chiang Rai’s most revered temple and once housed the Emerald Buddha which now resides in the temple’s namesake in Bangkok. Even if you consider yourself ‘templed-out’, it’s well worth making the short journey out of Chiang Rai city to the visually stunning Wat Rong Khun also known as the White Temple. And while you’re in that area, you could make the trip out to the lovely Singha Park (Boon Rawd Farm) . In the middle of the city, Chiang Rai’s golden clocktower is also the work of the same artist behind Wat Rong Khun. In a similar vein, Baan Dam (the Black House) is another unique artistic creation worth seeking out. For lovers of nature, a trip to the beautiful gardens at Mae Fah Luang is highly recommended.

The Golden Triangle is within easy reach (the point where Laos, Burma and Thailand meet), but the reality is less romantic than many people envisage. More impressive are the mountains, rice fields and ancient ruins to be found nearby. Every hotel and tour operator in Chiang Rai will be able to arrange trips to the Golden Triangle although ‘trips’ probably isn’t the best word to use for an area that has earned its former notoriety as a centre for opium production! It’s also possible to arrange outings to local hill-tribe villages and go trekking in the surrounding countryside. In the centre of the city, the Night Bazaar is a popular place to visit for entertainment, food and drink.

Many people travel to Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai which can be done in just over 3 hours by bus. A more scenic option is a combined boat and road journey which takes considerably longer. Direct flights are also available from Chiang Mai and Bangkok. The majority of tour operators in Chiang Mai offer various transport and accommodation combination packages for Chiang Rai. Buses depart from Chiang Mai Arcade bus station every hour from 06.00 through to 17.30. Green Bus between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai »

Offering access to the greater Chiang Rai Province and Thailand’s Golden Triangle, the city of Chiang Rai is often overlooked as a simple gateway to the riches of the country’s northern reaches. However, this city is simply not to be ignored. An array of exquisite temples, earthy tribal artworks, and a multicultural vibe fuses the traditions of Burma, Laos, Siam and China into one marvellous cluster of spicy khao suey chicken and tempura dishes, a mix of Cantonese, Thai and Laotian languages, and a deep Buddhist religiosity!

Chiang Rai’s cultural offering is topped by the glistening rises of the so-called White Temple of Wat Rong Khun, a relatively new addition to the country’s line-up of startling religious undertakings that exudes mythical symbolism from every pore. That’s backed up by a range of intriguing museums, from the Hill Tribe Museum of Karen natives, to the eerie bone exhibitions at the Bandaam Black House.

Outside of town lurks the famous Golden Triangle, and Chiang Rai tour guides often recommend taking a creaky longboat up the waters of the Mekong to see where the three nations of Burma, Thailand and Laos intersect. There are then the misty ridges of the Phu Chi Fa Forest Park, or the bubbling hot springs of Pha Soet and Pong Phra Bat to enjoy.

CHIANG MAI TO CHIANG RAI: By Bus, Private Transfer or Group Tour

CHIANG MAI TO CHIANG RAI: By Bus, Private Transfer or Group Tour

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double check with the authorities or other concerned entities for the latest updates.

Chiang Rai is steadily gaining a reputation as a favorite tourist destination. Although not as busy as its neighbor Chang Mai yet, the volume of tourists visiting Chiang Rai, Thailand’s northernmost province, is growing. Most of Chiang Rai’s visitors are coming from Chiang Mai, which has established itself as the economic and cultural center of Northern Thailand. Since the economy of Chiang Mai is strongly driven by tourism, many tour operators based in Chiang Mai city center offer day trips to Chiang Rai.

A quick juxtaposition of these two destinations:

  • Historically, both Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai became the capital of the Lanna Kingdom (Northern Thailand) during the reign of King Meng Rai in 1200s. Chiang Rai (City of Rai) was the first official capital (1262). The capital was then transferred to Chiang Mai (New City) in 1296.
  • The capital of Chiang Rai Province is Chiang Rai City, while Chiang Mai Province is Chiang Mai City. This should lessen the confusion.
  • Chiang Rai is more laidback and its strengths in terms of tourism are the lush mountains in the countryside and the rich northern Thailand culture that is heavily influenced by ethnic groups (hill tribes). Chiang Mai is very tourist-friendly, especially the city center which is easily navigable. Restaurants, accommodations, and nightlife abound.

chiang rai tour operators

Chiang Rai has yet to have its own railway station, so this mode of transportation is definitely not an option. You can reach Chiang Rai from Chiang Rai via bus, private transfer or tour package. Note that these are just some of the possible options. Whichever mode of transportation you choose, you will pass through Route 118 (standard route). Others, especially private vehicles, take Route 118 and Route 1 (alternate route) to avoid heavy traffic, especially during the peak/high season. You will pass through the alternating winding road and straight road. Overall, the route features verdant surroundings and scenic views.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

  • Departure Point: Arcade Bus Station. Note that there are three bus terminals in Chiang Mai City — Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 1 (Chang Phuak Bus Station), Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 2, and Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 3. The last two are collectively called (Arcade Bus Terminal/Station). Terminal 1 serves van and buses with routes to other districts in Chiang Mai. Terminal 2 and 3 are built next to each other located 3km from the city center, on the eastern end of Kaew Nawarat Road (near the Superhighway Route 118), on the northwest portion of Chiang Mai. It serves long-distance buses to and from Chiang Mai.
  • Bus Terminal 2 or 3: The most recommended bus company is Greenbus. Its hub is at Bus Terminal 3. If you are coming from Chiang Mai city center, you can take any of these three options to Arcade Bus Station: songthaew, tuk-tuk, taxi or Uber. The cheapest option is the songthaew (THB 40-50). The travel time is 15-20 minutes.
  • Purchase Ticket: Greenbus company has a systematic way of selling tickets. First, you need to get your queue number. When your number is called, go to the ticket counter and buy your ticket. The fare ranges from THB 130 to THB 300, depending on the type of bus — Express or VIP. Rates may vary depending on the season. It’s best to book in advance online during high season. 12Go is the most trusted booking site.
  • Travel Duration: 2-4 hours (depending on the season and traffic condition)
  • Arrival: Chiang Rai has two bus terminals: the old one (Bus Terminal 1) and the new one (Bus Terminal 2). The old one is located in the city center, near the Night Bazaar, while the new one is 7km from downtown. The buses usually make a stop at Terminal 2 first, then finally terminates at Terminal 1.

By Private Transfer

chiang rai tour operators

Another option is to book a private transfer between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. This might be more convenient for those who will travel as a group, whether friends or family members. Klook is another trusted booking site that offers private city transfers between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. The package includes an English-speaking professional driver and door-to-door hotel transfers (pick up and drop off). You may choose a car or a van, depending on the number of people in your group.

chiang rai tour operators

By Group Tour

As mentioned before, there are tour operators and travel agencies aplenty in Chiang Mai’s city center. You may book a day tour to Chiang Rai, either join-in or private. The usual tour includes the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and the Golden Triangle. Others offer the countryside areas. If you book a private tour, you can customize the itinerary according to your interest and priorities. Klook curates tours for Chiang Rai from Chiang Mai too. The itineraries may also include the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten), the Black House, Mae Khajan Hot Springs, Don Sao Island, and a visit to the Long Neck Karen village. Lunch is normally included in the package.
