Highland Highlight Package

For centuries, Chiang Rai thrived on a culture based on simple subsistence farming. Today, capitalizing on the hilltribe culture and the attraction of the mighty Mekong River, the city is coming on its own as a tourism destination.

The city derives its beauty from its majestic mountains. As one heads out of town, Burma with its terrain an lush vegetation comes into view. Eastward, the landscape changes. The timeless, virgin territory of Laos rises over the fast-flowing Mekong River. As mountain peaks gradually lowers, there is an awareness of a cultural change.

Chiang Rai was a provincial capital in the old Siam. It was here that King Mengrai ruled in the 13th century. From here, the young leader rode into Chiang Mai after the fall of Pagan in 1247. King Mengrai formed a strong alliance with the kings of Sukhothai and eventually the entire north was under his rule. He consolidated his powers by merging the different city-states in the North and founded the Lanna Thai kingdom in 1296 with Chiang Mai as the capital.

Chiang Rai is one of the last remaining tourist frontiers of Thailand. It is the northernmost province situated on the Kok River basin 416 meters above sea level, with an area of 11,678 square kilometers. Scores of travelers come for its natural attractions.
