Where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet on the Mekong River
This beautiful region in northern Thailand is best known for its proximity to the Golden Triangle, where Thailand meets neighbouring Laos and Myanmar along the Mekong River.
Nature: the landscapes are magnificent, with green mountains, waterfalls and lush tea plantations.
Culture: the region is home to unique temples such as the White Temple and the Blue Temple, which, beyond their spiritual significance, reflect the creativity and artistry of the local community. Around Chiang Rai, several ethnic minorities live with their own traditions, clothing and craftsmanship.
Adventure: there is plenty to experience here, from trekking and cycling to rafting and ziplining.
Hotels: some of the most exceptional hotels are found in the serene atmosphere of the Golden Triangle along the Mekong River, including the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, known for its luxurious tents and spectacular views.
The weather in Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai can be visited year‑round, with warm daytime temperatures throughout the seasons. The best time to travel is from November to March, when the weather is dry and pleasantly warm. April and May are also dry, though temperatures rise noticeably. The rainy season runs from June to October, transforming the landscape into its most vibrant state. Showers tend to be short and intense, and the air becomes more humid.
What our guests say
We had an unforgettable journey through Java, Bali and Moyo Island. Joey impressed us with her wonderful proposals, each perfectly aligned with the wishes of our entire family. Throughout the trip she was always there for us — even securing a table at a restaurant that had been fully booked for months. Thank you, The Orange Lotus. We will certainly return.
Fam. Bruggenwirth • Journey to Indonesia
Thank you for an unforgettable journey through Thailand and for your flawless organisation. The excursions in Bangkok and Chiang Mai were truly unique experiences, and our hotel preferences were met perfectly. And the fact that you even surprised us by arranging our favourite wine on board during our private yacht excursion in Koh Samui says everything about your eye for detail and perfection. Wonderful in every way — we look forward to travelling with you again.
