Attractions near the hotel

Founded in the 13th century, Chiang Rai's old city once had the honor of hosting the royal court of Lanna rulers. The artistic and cultural heritage of that era has been well preserved. Among the most important monuments are:

• The statue of King Mengrai, honoring the city's founder;

• Wat Rong Khun, a dazzlingly white edifice;

• Wat Rong Suea Ten, a blue temple laden with sculptural works;

• The historic temples of Phra Kaeo and Phra Singh, both richly decorated.

To connect with locals, a visit to the Sunday night market is a must.
