Chiangrai

[Ivonka]

Has anyone ever been in Chiangrai? What are the good travelling spots?

[Mr Earl]

I usually blast right through Chiang Rai on the way to Doi Mae Salong which is a really lovely area.

Some good trip reports in the northern forum

Worth a couple of days. IMHO

Nice part of the world up that way and, with your own transport CR makes a good base. I reckon the gems are even further north- DM Salong as Earl said, and the town of Tha Ton and surrounds is real nice too- and you can get a river ferry from CR. Doi Angkhang area is reachable, but an easier drive from Chiang Mai.

Nice place to enjoy a quiet time near the Mekong River is Chiang Khong town or west towards Chiang Saen at Raisaengarun resort.
