Workation in Chiang Rai: the essentials
King Mangrai established Chiang Rai in 1262, and it remains the northernmost major city in Thailand, with about 70,000 people and a place in UNESCO's Creative Cities Network for design. Its modern landmarks are the White Temple and the Blue Temple, while the clock tower and night bazaar anchor the centre. Tea plantations around Doi Mae Salong and the Golden Triangle make easy outings, and the Kok River runs along the north of town. Life is smaller and slower than in Chiang Mai, about three hours away by bus, and the airport, about 7 km out, has regular flights to Bangkok. Burning season from February to April brings hazardous air.
