What To Expect

Golden Triangle

This half-day exploration of the Golden Triangle highlights starts with receiving a warm welcome from your English-speaking guide at your hotel. Together with your driver, we first drive towards the Golden Triangle. A trip to Chiang Rai would not be complete without seeing the renowned Golden Triangle first hand. This famed border location where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet on the Mekong River was once the centre of all poppy cultivation in the kingdom will mark the departing point for a leisurely downstream boat ride to Chiang Saen.

Formerly known as Wiang Hiran Nakhon Ngoen Yang, Chiang Saen once was the administrative centre of the Lanna Thai kingdom until this was moved to Chiang Rai in 1262. Up until today, it still keeps vestiges of its past glory through ruins of double city walls, antiques, and its distinctive Buddhist sculpture style that flourished during the city’s reign.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

You will visit the Chiang Saen Museum, home of a remarkable collection of Buddha images and antiques that date back all the way when the town prospered from its Royal status.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Wat Phra That Chedi Luang

We continue our tour through interesting Chiang Saen with visits to the renowned Wat Chedi Luang, the lesser-known Wat Pasak
