... the next 7 km into the city center. Once in the right place, we walked through the town and took a room in the first guest house we looked at. The next day despite the rain, we set off to explore Chiang Rai on foot.  There was ...

... a good few hours and eventually arrived in Chiang Rai late morning. We checked into a really nice little guest house and went for some noodle soup for breakfast. Chiang Rai is in Northern Thailand and one of the cities in the Golden Triangle with Laos and ...

... kilo. My load cost me 25 BHT (50p) for about 70% of my clothes - and a very nice job as well. After breakfasting at the guest house, with an Italian guy who was sweating (literally) on getting a PHd interview in Paris wandered down to the market to get a ...

Chiang Rai We took two local busses to get to Chiang Rai, the first was to Chaing Mai then another one to Chiang Rai. I must say I was quite excited about the look of the second bus we were to take it was an "air suspension, air conditioned" beauty. (I am ...

... Thailand though, the islands, in a few weeks..after i make my way through Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. I spent a couple days in Chiang Rai...had a lovely day yesterday as I embarked on my own personal tour. I rented a motorbike again for the day and ...

The city of Chiang Rai isn't very interesting, but the province includes touristic spots like the "Golden Triangle" or the ancient city of Chiang Saen.. We hooked a driver and passed the attractions in one day to make shure, that we could cross the border ...

We found there wasn't a lot to do in Chiang Rai unless you wanted to go trekking for a couple of days, which we didn't. We did a lot of walking around instead, and had cocktails at Dusit Island Hotel where I stayed with Mum and Dad about 7 years ago, ...

... to Hanoi back a couple of days (free!) to enable me to get across Lao in a sensible time. An e-mail to the Baan Bua Guest House in Chiang Rai to shift my booking so I could get my injection number 4 in Thailand. Ha Ha - the reply asked if the bloody dog ...

... lodging was 1300 Bhat for both of us or about $45,USD. Careful, you get what you pay for. We stayed at Grace's Guest House which served us well for temporary accomodations. It was a "backpackers" hotel so there are no frills, just a plain room with ...

... The prices were very reasonable and the cabins looked great on the photos. After a short (3-4 hour) bus journey we arrived in Chiang Rai and, instead of finding a hostel, headed straight to the Akha Hill office where we had lunch and awaited collection. ...

... pleasant experience, with air con, water, biscuits and even a stop half way through the 3 hours journey for a toilet break. Chiang Rai was really just a stepping stone towards the Thai/Laos border for us and a chance to experience somewhere different for ...

... bus to Chiang Rai (after waiting around for about 4 hours!) on Saturday and we're glad to report it's a little cooler up here! Chiang Rai is nice - similar to Chiang Mai but a little smaller and more chilled out. We've just been checking out the city ...
