Chiang Rai – the hidden gem in Northern Thailand
Settled by people all the way back to the 7th century and serving as the main commercial hub of the Golden Triangle, which contains the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, the northernmost city of Chiang Rai is a place to visit on your Thailand tour packages from Los Angeles. The busy town home to a little over one million inhabitants offers something for everyone.
With its distinct forms of culture, cuisine, and architecture, Chiang Rai – one of the richest cities in that region in terms of culture – often rewards travelers with an adventure few Angelenos have experienced. The town itself is perfectly quiet for you to sip a cocktail by the poolside of a posh hotel or villa during the day, since most of its package travelers are out on day trips, but at night the neon lights flash on, live song and dance performances are held, and a large food market, which features plenty of yummy-looking seafood, souvenir stalls, and restaurants spring into action.
Irrespective of the time of day, however, it represents one of Thailand’s most beautiful, and historically significant regions, serving to not only commemorate but to unite and stir strong emotions.
