Destination introduction
Close to the mountains of the north and the infamous Golden Triangle, luxury Chiang Mai holidays in the northernmost province of Thailand are ethnically quite diverse, with Thais, indigenous hill tribes, ancient Aboriginal people such as Lawa, Chinese and Mon all residing happily together. Peaceful and much quieter than other cities, Chiang Mai is easy to discover by foot, with its spectacular scenery, northern village culture, ancient settlement ruins, temples, museums and the opportunity for boat trips along the Mekong River. This is the time for laid back rural adventure and sightseeing.
Discover our fascinating selection of Chiang Rai offers.
Chiang Rai highlights:
• Take a journey by raft along the Mae Kok River indulging in an elephant trek along the way and visiting hill tribe villages.
• Visit the elegant and unique Wat Rong Khun, a contemporary Buddhist shrine also known as 'The White Temple.'
