Chiang Rai

Guesthouses, hotels and resorts

Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a small town, with many of the guesthouses close to the centre or near the river. The main backpacker quarter is at the northern end of town near the Mae Kok River, though to the west of town lie a couple of other options. Modern business-style hotels are scattered throughout town while the luxury digs are on the outskirts. A hot shower is really worth the extra money even if you're on a tight budget, as Chiang Rai can get very cool in the evening.
