Chiang rai

The northernmost province of Thailand, Chiang Rai is situated on the Kok River basin 416 metres above sea level. With an area of some 11,678 square Kilometres. It is about 785 Kilometres from Bangkok. Mostly mountainous, it reaches the Mae Khong River to the north and borders on both Myanmar and Laos. We only play at two golf courses in Chaing Rai so it is ideal for a mini-break to add on to your holiday. Both courses are excellent and the climate during winter is like a fine English summer’s day - warm with little or no humidity.

The province is rich in tourism resources in terms of natural attractions and antiquities and evidence of its past civilisation. It is also home to several hill tribes who follow fascinating ways of life. Chiang Rai is also a tourism gateway into Myanmar and Laos.

Chaing Rai is much quieter than Chiang Mai. It has a very comfortable climate during the winter months – you might even need a light sweater when walking around at night. The city is charming and very clean. The night market is a great place to eat and enjoy traditional Thai music and dancing.
