Chiang Rai
Just a short hop by plane or about three hours drive north of Chiang Mai lies the town of Chiang Rai and the famous Golden Triangle - a spellbinding area where the Ruak and Mae Khong Rivers meet to form the border between Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Take a longtail boat trip; explore the border town of Mae Sai; visit the jungle clad mountains dotted with ancient hilltribe villages or simply lie back and relax in this truly glorious setting.
