Chiang_Rai

Chiang Rai Province, Chiang Rai, Thailand's most northern province, is almost 800 km from Bangkok. The northern border of the province separates Thailand from both Laos and Myanmar. The Mae Mok River, flowing for over over 130 km is the major river that cuts through the rugged mountainous topography of the region. The mountains in turn being home to nearly a dozen different hilltribes that have migrated from such places as Tibet, South China and Burma.

The mountains and jungles, with their abundance of flora and fauna, are a perfect place for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The many flowing rivers offer an exciting way to pass through the natural beauty of the landscape.

The city of Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mengrai, who later moved the capital of his Lanna Kingdom from Chiang Saen to Chiang Rai. It was the capital for a brief time before threats of invasion led to the laying of the foundations of Chiang Mai, which would eventually replace Chiang Rai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. Later, in 1786, when King Ramatobodi (Rama I) was consolidating the country after the destruction of Ayutthaya, it became part of Thai territory and was later proclaimed a province in 1910 by King Rama VI.
