Chiang Rai is the main commercial centre in the Golden Triangle region of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. It is an excellent base for exploring the region as trekking areas are near and accessible to town. Often compared to Chiang Mai, the city has a more relaxed small-town atmosphere than most other Thai cities. Area attractions are boat excursions on the Kok River, unique temples such as Wat Rong Khun, Wat Phra Kaew and elephant rides all surrounded by nature.
