If you're planning a bit of sightseeing during your trip, head to White Temple – just one of the landmarks located 7.2 mi (11.6 km) from central Chiang Rai.
Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Khun Korn Waterfall during your travels in Chiang Rai. Stroll along the area's riverfront or simply enjoy its cafes.
Chiang Rai, well known for its temples and riverfront, features attractions such as Chiang Rai Clock Tower and Chiang Rai Night Bazaar. The city has something for everyone including sights like Saturday Walking Street Market and Wat Phra Kaew within a small-town setting.
Chiang Rai's night bazaar is as good as, if not better, than the better known one in Chiang Mai, the other big northern Thai town. There are quite a few attractions worth a visit like the White Temple and Blue Temple and the Baan Dam museum.

Only had a few hours to explore. Enjoyed the 75 Anniversary Flag and Lamp Park which had a wonderful flower display and was all lit up at night, and the clock tower lightshow was nice too.

Chiang Rai is a small town and everything is half the price vs Bangkok. Def go to Central Mall to eat, food court closes at 9PM. Souvenir shops near White Temple have better prices than Night Bazaar, but massage parlors are better at night bazaar.

"A short but excellent stay, couldn’t fault it! The staff were really helpful when discussing restaurants and things to do. The room was fantastic and all the facilities are great. Loved the fact that we were able to have bottled water without having to pay extra. Would definitely recommend stopping here."
