Chiang Rai Holidays

If you’re after an off-the-beaten-path trip to Thailand, the city of Chiang Rai in the north of the country is just the place, with an abundance of interesting sights and fantastic foodie experiences. During your Chiang Rai holidays, embrace the fresh air with a hike through the towering mountains and lush forests, visit an elephant sanctuary, and go on a tour of the ancient ruins scattered throughout the area which offer an insight into the culture and traditions of Thailand’s past. For a truly original experience, meet the indigenous hill tribe people who call this part of Thailand home. In this remote area, the culture and traditions have changed very little over the centuries and learning about the way of life of the Yao, Akha, Lahu and Karen (long-neck) hill tribes is an enlightening and fascinating experience.
