Get in

By car

Chiang Rai is about 830 km north of Thailand and is easily accessible from Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

By bus

Extensive services run to Chiang Mai and there are several buses daily to Bangkok. The main bus station is called Kohn Song.

By plane

Chiang Rai International Airport (http://www.airportthai.co.th/airportnew/chrai/html/) (CEI) is located on Phaholyotin Road 8 kilometres from downtown Chiang Rai. Car rental is available on arrival from Avis 1 (http://avisthailand.com/).

The airport is served by Air Asia (http://www.airasia.com), Nok Air (http://www.nokair.co.th), One-Two-Go (http://www.onetwo-go.com) and THAI (http://www.thaiairways.com).

Get around

Public transport consists mainly of tuk-tuks and songthaews, plus a smaller number of taxis. The city itself can be explored on foot, but for trips into the province consider renting a car (Budget and Avis both have offices in Chiang Rai and there are several local agencies) or a motorbike. A motorbike is the best way to see these parts; there are several trails and a 250cc dirt bike is a great way to see the country side.
