It experiences a humid tropical climate with two distinct seasons: the high or cool season, and low or rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High Season<\/strong> (mid-November to February): This is considered the best time to visit Chiang Rai, as the weather is cool and dry. Temperatures are milder, with less humidity, and the landscapes are typically greener after the rainy season. During these months, you\u2019ll find ideal weather but also more tourists and slightly higher prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Season<\/strong> (March to October): March and April are the hottest months in Chiang Rai, leading into the rainy season. You can expect frequent, heavy rain during this time, which may affect outdoor plans. However, there are fewer tourists, and prices for accommodations and activities are generally lower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"recuerda\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-recuerda\" src=\"\/iconos\/cuandoir.png\" alt=\"Atento al consejo\">  <strong>Travel Advice<\/strong>: Check out our article on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/the-best-time-to-travel-to-thailand-weather-rain-season\/\">the best time to visit Thailand<\/a><\/strong> for month-by-month climate information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"security-and-travel-insurance\">Security and Travel Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In major Thai cities, healthcare ranges from public hospitals to private international clinics, where treatment costs can be considerably higher.

head to the restaurants and food stalls in the square where the night market is held. Two dishes you must try in Chiang Rai are <strong><em>khao soi<\/em><\/strong> and, as mentioned earlier, <strong>coconut ice cream<\/strong> (which is nothing like the watered-down version sold in some beach towns!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we recommend treating yourself at <strong>Chivit Thamma<\/strong>, even though it\u2019s a bit above the typical backpacker budget. This colonial-style house by the river offers stunning views, elegant d\u00e9cor, and delicious food. Be sure to try the fried pineapple rice and the khao soi, both are exceptional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"getting-around-chiang-rai\">Getting Around Chiang Rai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We opted to rent motorbikes to explore the area independently, but you can also hire a taxi or tuk-tuk from most accommodations. This is especially useful since the main attractions are located several kilometers outside the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"map\">Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the image and it will take you to a new Google Maps window with all the points of interest to travel around Chiang Rai.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1MNcaw2MkbtixnZjOP-F3Goz80nA&amp;usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Chiang-rai-mapa.jpg\" alt=\"Chiang Rai's map\" class=\"wp-image-38985\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chiang Rai&#8217;s map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many travelers visit Chiang Rai, a modest city in northern Thailand, located in a province bordering Laos and Myanmar, in search of one of the most popular and arguably most extravagant temples in the country: Wat Rong Khun.
