Chiang Rai

General Information about Chiang Rai

Dating back to 1262 the city of Chiang Rai is ideally located along the Mae Kok River in the northern parts of Thailand. Chiang Rai is included in an area known as the Golden Triangle along with Laos and Myanmar otherwise known as Burma. Boasting a population of over 62,000 residents the city of Chiang Rai was originally founded by King Mangrai.

Before the city of Chiang Mai was established Chiang Rai was the capital of the Mangrai empire. Today Chiang Rai is the capital of the Chiang Rai province and is particularly well known for the discovery of the Emerald Buddha known locally as Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao. The Emerald Buddha was discovered in 1434 and is now located in Bangkok in the Grand Palace.

Chiang Rai is well known for its beautiful sunsets but there are many other interesting things worth exploring. One of your first stops should be the Buddhist temple known as Wat Phra Kaeo which was the original home of the Emerald Buddha. The Wat Doi Tung is another Buddhist temple that should not be overlooked while you are visiting Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai is well connected with the rest of Thailand with the Chiang Rai International Airport be located just minutes away from the city centre.
