Chiang Rai is becoming increasingly popular and we understand why! Tea hills nearby, temples unlike any other and close to the Golden Triangle worth it as far as we are concerned. Admire the glitter of the White Temple with your own eyes and go into the hills to pick and taste tea.

Sometimes when travelling in Thailand, it can be hard to discover authentic experiences or take a detour off the well-worn tourist route. However, we’ve found an authentic homestay in the Thai countryside.

Here the landscapes are more rugged, the stars seem to shine brighter, and the people are ready to welcome you.
