Chiang Rai Hostels

This area is interesting due to the fact for a long time only impassable trails have connected it with the rest of the country. Northern Thailand is considered the cradle of the unique and amazing Thai culture. Here the traditions of this amazing country have been preserved in complete isolation from the influence of other cultures.

Chiang Rai is famous for its vats (Buddhist temples). According to a legend once the Emerald Buddha statue has stood here. Later it has appeared in Bangkok. One of the local churches (Ngam Muang Hill) keeps the tomb with the remains of King Meng Rai.
