Frequently asked questions

How many days in Chiang Rai is enough?

It depends how deep you want to go. If you hope to make it out to the hill tribes and get a true sense of Chiang Rai and all of its unique sights, ideally you would want to carve out five to seven days.


What is the difference between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai?

While both places share some similarities, they are pretty different in terms of their offering. When it comes to tourist-centric amenity, Chiang Mai trumps with its nightlife, markets and entertainment. Chiang Rai, on the other hand, is driven by industry rather than tourism and is suited to those who like to experience the culture of a country beyond the glossy brochure.


When is the best time to visit Chiang Rai?

Between October and February the weather is generally pretty pleasant with low temperatures and humidity.


What is there to do in Chiang Rai?

Chiang Rai is certainly a little slower than its younger, sprightlier sibling Chiang Mai, there’s still plenty to see and do, from sightseeing to meandering around the market eating your bodyweight in authentic Thai street food. Better yet, take a cooking class and learn to make it yourself.

What to take on holiday to Chiang Rai?

Comfortable shoes for visiting the sites as well as light, breathable clothing. Thailand on the whole is pretty casual, so no need to overpack, a t-shirt and shorts or dress will do fine for most days.


Where to go on holiday in Chiang Rai?

Chiang Rai offers a vast array of interesting and culturally rich destinations. Some popular places to visit include the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), the Black House (Baandam Museum), and the Golden Triangle (where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet). If time permits, the hill tribes are fascinating.
