[2025 Mae Chan Attraction] Travel Guide for Chiang Saen - the old city (Updated May)

🌟 🥰 Review of One budget hotel, a newly opened hotel in Chiang Saen 🥰 One budget has opened a new branch of the hotel in Chiang Saen. As a traveler, we couldn't help but go and try it. In conclusion, I give it a full 100++. The view from the room is the best. You can lie down and watch the lights on the King Roman side. It's so awesome 👍🏻👍🏻 🌟 Most importantly, the price is in the hundreds. If compared to the view from the room, it's in the millions. The staff here are impressive. They also serve light breakfast. There are rice porridge, soft-boiled eggs, coffee, milk, yogurt. It's perfect for people who don't focus on breakfast like us. 🥰🥰 📍 The hotel is located next to the Mekong River, 1 km from the Golden Triangle. Most importantly, you can easily walk to the riverside restaurants. There are many restaurants to choose from. 🥰 #Relaxing hotel #River view hotel #Chiang Saen accommodation

Sawan Na Cafe is located on the Chiang Saen - Chiang Khong bypass road, Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai Province. The cafe is in a minimalist style, molded from clay, imitating an Eskimo. The door opens into a bit of mystery. There are corners to take pictures both inside the building and the atmosphere of the rice field view. There are many drink menus to choose from, with the shop's signature and bakery, various cakes. The price is a bit high but still acceptable. #Cafe #Chiang Saen #Cafe Life #Cafe #Minimal #Bakery

The taste is well-rounded and the price is not expensive. There are many dessert menus to choose from. Every day, the shop makes a variety of fresh dessert menus every day. What I like the most from this shop is the croissant menu. There are many types to choose from. The best is the macadamia croissant. But today, we went and chose the almond croissant. It was a very big piece with almonds sprinkled on top and lit. It tasted good. The shop will warm it up and serve it hot. Another menu, I can't remember the name, but the taste is just as good. It is filled with cream. The coffee menu I ordered was iced latte and cappuccino. I must say that it was delicious. The taste was just right. We can order the strength level. The atmosphere inside the shop is arranged to sit indoors or outdoors. If you sit outside, you will see the view of the Mekong River on the Lao side. The atmosphere is very cool. You can also see our neighboring country, Laos. People here are not very crowded, suitable for relaxing. It is considered another regular shop that I like to go to a lot. I recommend that anyone passing by this area should stop by this cafe. You will love it.

The bright sunlight reflects the eyes, even though it is the end of the rainy season, the beginning of the winter season like this. The cars are moving slowly because we have to pass through various communities to head to a new community tourist attraction. Chiang Saen may be familiar to many people, but as we said from the beginning, this trip is “community tourism”. Normally when we travel, we all have different goals. Some want to gain experience, some want to relax. But many people may not know that behind the tourism that we travel to, sometimes the original community does not benefit much. On the contrary, it is destroyed by the arrival of tourism. This trip to Chiang Saen, we have a strong goal to invite everyone to travel in a Win-Win way, both as tourists and as people in the community, to conserve and maintain the original environment for a long time. #thailand #travelchiangsaen How to get there - Drive Tourist attractions - Chiang Saen Hotel - Baan Saew Garden and Resort Restaurant and food - Krua Heuan Sabai Dee Shopping - Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai

This is a city on the border, because on the other side of the Mekong there is already another state of Laos. Well, just 10 kilometers from Chiang Saen is the famous Golden Triangle, where a third country is added to Thailand and Laos - Myanmar. It is in this town that it is best to stop to study the Golden Triangle. #goldentriangle #urbanexplorer #thailand #awesomepic
