About this trip

Step back in time as you discover the historic heart of Chiang Rai, founded in 1262 by the legendary King Mengrai. Your evening begins at the King Mengrai Monument before you board a samlor—the classic Southeast Asian rickshaw. This open-air journey offers a nostalgic, leisurely pace, allowing you to soak in the charming sights and sounds of the city center as the sun sets.

Your destination is the vibrant Chiang Rai Night Bazaar, a sensory wonderland of flavor and local craft. Guided by local expertise, you’ll sample authentic Northern Thai specialties, from spicy salads to rich, aromatic noodles. After dinner, explore stalls brimming with exquisite hill-tribe handicrafts, intricate teak carvings, and traditional Lanna fabrics. Whether you’re bargaining for a unique masterpiece or hunting for the perfect souvenir, the night concludes with the freedom to dive into the local bar scene or return to your hotel with memories of a truly authentic Thai evening.
