Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai,
the northernmost province of Thailand is about 785 kilometers north of
Bangkok. Situated on the Kok River basin, Chiang Rai covers an area of
approximately 11,678 square meters with an average elevation of 580 meters
above sea level. The province, which is located within the renowned Golden
Triangle area where Myanmar, Laos and Thailand converge, is also known as
the gateway to Myanmar, Laos and Southern China.
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.
Today, 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.
