About Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand, is a relaxed city known for a white temple of glass and plaster and as the base for the Golden Triangle.

Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mengrai, who later moved his capital to Chiang Mai, and it still feels more like a market town than a city. The golden clock tower at the central roundabout, the night bazaar and the Kok River set the tone. Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple, an elaborate modern temple of white plaster and mirrored glass by the artist Chalermchai Kositpipat, lies just south of the city.
