Rai Ruean Rom is a farm located in Chiang Rai. It is about an hour and a half drive from the city. The way up to the farm is quite difficult. It is red dirt with dust. The distance is about 5 kilometers. When I got there, I wondered if I was on the right path. Because the road is really gravel. But when I saw the vegetable plot and the roof of the house, I felt a little better. This place is both a restaurant, a cafe and a place to stay. We went to eat only. The view from the restaurant is quite beautiful. You can see the mountains. There is nothing to block the view. The food here focuses on organic style. Almost everything is grown by themselves. The recommended menu is the vegetable and mushroom salad. It is really delicious. 📌 Rai Ruean Rom | A.

Doi Pha Tang, although the route is difficult, you must go at least once. I must say that it is one of the difficult routes. It requires quite a bit of driving skill because the route is quite steep. I don't recommend it when it's raining because the road will be very slippery. Doi Pha is about 2 hours away from Chiang Rai city, plus or minus depending on traffic, the expertise of the driver, and road conditions. Film recommends going in the winter early in the morning (at that time, Film left Chiang Rai at around 4 am) or if you want to stay overnight, you won't have to wake up early. The view from the top is very beautiful. It's so beautiful that it seems unreal 😆 You can take pictures from any angle. I recommend that you go at least once. 🫶🏻🩷 #Chiang Rai attractions #Chiang Rai #Recommended places to visit in Chiang Rai #Doi Pha Tang

Wat Phra That Chom Cho is one of the nine Chom stupas and serves as a significant spiritual landmark for Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province. The stupa features a Lanka-style design influenced by Lanna architecture. Situated atop a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views. According to ancient scriptures written by a skilled Pali scholar from Mueang Thoeng (formerly known as Mueang Theng), it is said that during the time when the Buddha visited Suvarnabhumi, he rested under an Ashoka tree on a hill near the Ing River. A Naga serpent, upon realizing the Buddha's presence, approached him to pay homage and inquire about various matters. The Naga then presented three pieces of golden cloth and three pieces of crystal cloth to the Buddha. In return, the Buddha granted the Naga a sacred relic—a strand of his hair—by stroking his head. The Naga informed the local ruler, who then constructed a stupa on the hill to enshrine the hair relic. This stupa was later named Phra That Chom Cho. Every year, a ceremonial water-pouring ritual is held at Phra That Chom Cho on the full moon day of the 8th month in the Northern Thai calendar. Location: Moo 20, Ban Wiang Chom Cho, Wiang Subdistrict, Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province. It is approximately 1 kilometer west of the Thoeng District Office.

#ChiangRaiTrip Doi Pha Tang is a little over 100 kilometers from Chiang Rai city. The road is winding and steep in places, so it takes about 2 hours or more to get there. If you want to see the first light of day, plan your time carefully. There are accommodations available in Ban Pha Tang; you can even stay overnight to avoid waking up too early. The trail to the Pha Tang viewpoint includes stairs, steep inclines, and dirt paths. It's a fairly strenuous hike, so those planning to visit should be in reasonably good health. We conquered viewpoint 102. We arrived after dark, and by the time we reached it, the sun's rays were shining through the fog – it was beautiful! 🚗 There is ample parking. We've left the location coordinates in the comments. ⏰️ We recommend starting the hike around 5:30 AM to wait for the first light of day. ℹ️ Wear comfortable shoes and sneakers. #DoiPhaTang #PhaTang #ChiangRaiTravel #ChiangRai #TravelThailand #LetYourHeartGoTravel
