Chiang Rai is a travelers paradise endowed with abundant natural tourist attractions and antiquities; the province itself is evidence of past civilization. Attractions range from magnificent mountain scenery, ruins of ancient settlements, historic sites, Buddhist shrines and ethnic villages as the province is also home to several hill tribes who maintain fascinating lifestyles. For those interested in the natural side of Chiang Rai, jungle trekking is recommended along various trails.
Chiang Rai which tends to be a little more 'laid back' now competes with Chiang Mai as a tourist attraction and is fast becoming a popular escape for tourists wanting to get away from the troubles they left behind.

Chiang Rai Recommended Hotels - Hotels Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai, which was founded in 1262 by King Meng Rai, was the first capital of the Lanna Thai Kingdom (Kingdom of a million rice fields), which was later conquered by Burma. It was not until 1786 that Chiang Rai became a Thai territory and was proclaimed a province during the reign of King Rama VI in 1910.

When to Go

Chiang Rai has a similar climate to the rest of northern Thailand, but the rainy season lasts longer:

Cool Season :

November to March the days are beautifully warm, and the evenings cool enough to warrant a sweater or light jacket. At higher altitudes, heavier clothing is needed. Average temperature 21º C and much cooler at night. The coolest months are December and January.

Hot Season :

From April and May can be uncomfortably hot, especially in the afternoons, but the nights are cool, and early mornings perfect for sightseeing. (Early March to end of May) Average temperature 29.9º C. The hottest month is April.

Rainy Season :

The rainy season, roughly from June to November gives a pleasant mix of tropical downpours and bright sunshine, transforming the countryside into lush quilts of green, and a profusion of tropical flowers. Average temperature 25.º C. The wettest month is October/November.
