Chiang Rai is above many things.

🏔️ Chiang Rai: The Northernmost City in Siam, where you'll find more than just oolong tea, but everything from Naga to world-class art! Those who still think Chiang Rai is a quiet, remote city should change their minds immediately! This is the "northernmost city in Siam," offering a full range of experiences—for those seeking spirituality, art, tea, spirituality, and relaxation! Walking around Chiang Rai, you'll encounter both old and new temples, as well as temples straight out of a fantasy novel (Wat Rong Khun!). Stop for a coffee at Doi Pha Hee, where the view is so stunning you'll forget the heat from your coffee. And if you're lucky, you'll even catch a light mist lingering over the mountaintops, without needing an Instagram filter. ☁️ For those who are into spirituality, Kham Chanod may be in Udon Thani, but Chiang Rai also boasts Wat Huai Pla Kang, home to the largest Guan Yin statue in Thailand. Take the elevator to see the view from the goddess's eyes (not just the eyes of the Dharma, but the view too!). And don't forget to visit the Chiang Rai Night Market, where you'll find everything from sai ua to roti sai mai. Plus, there's live music to rock your head to without worrying about losing your religious spirit! 🎶 "The northernmost point in Thailand, the border of three countries, the home of Lanna culture, and the priceless Phra That Doi Tung." It sounds like poetry, but it's actually a brief guided tour of the entire province! 🛕 Phra That Doi Tung The twin golden pagodas atop a mountain so high you'd think they were near heaven—the view is so stunning your phone camera would want to quit and switch to a professional! Anyone who goes up there and doesn't take a photo with the pagodas...is missing out on a golden opportunity (literally). 🐘 Lanna Culture Chiang Rai is a city of gentleness in every way—from the language, the clothes, and the locals' smiles, which are warmer than an electric blanket! Strolling through the morning market, you'll find words like "jad nak" and "muang kad" (fun kad), making you want to learn the Northern dialect. 🎨 Wat Rong Khun & Wat Rong Suea Ten World-class art without having to fly to Europe—just walking in feels like you've entered a spiritual exhibition! The white of Wat Rong Khun and the blue and gold of Wat Rong Suea Ten are a perfect match to instantly make your Instagram feed look more expensive. 🫖 Doi Mae Salong & Doi Pha Hee Tea, coffee, and views—this is heaven for chill lovers! Sip oolong tea while enjoying the mountain views and post a caption saying, "Life is good with tea, not drama." ☕️ 💡 Travel Tips Head to Phra That Doi Tung early in the morning because the sun on the mountain is strong enough to grill pork belly. If you're going to Wat Rong Khun, don't forget to wear plain clothes because the temple is very white. Wearing tiger stripes might be the center of attention instead of the temple. Doi Mae Salong has great weather, but the climb is steep—we recommend bringing a driver who's not afraid of curves. Chiang Rai's morning market offers amazing food. Don't forget to try the khao soi (rice noodle soup), nam ngiao (noodles), and the pork sausage (pork sausage) that's even more delicious than your online relationships. If you get lucky at Kham Chanod, don't forget to share some with your friends! #VisitChiangRai #Phra That Doi Tung #Wat Rong Khun #Doi Mae Salong #Lanna Culture
