Chiang Rai Guide

Located among the hills of Northern Thailand, Chiang Rai is a quieter alternative to busy Chiang Mai, and is a good springboard for hill treks and excursions to the Golden triangle.

Located on the Kok river, the city has an esteemed history dating back to the 13th century when the Lanna Kingdom was at its zenith. The town was the original custodian of the Emerald Buddha, which has an interesting history becoming Thailand’s most Pious Buddhist symbol. Today this diminutive and much revered Buddha lives in the Grand Palace in Bangkok, but the original Wat Phra Kaew (c. 1434) temple still exists. Wat Jet Yod and Wat Phra Singh are two other magnificent and highly regarded temples in the town centre.

The centre is easily walkable, with several markets, endless eating options and some good shops containing Northern crafts and woven silk and cotton. Dusit island is also popular.

Quite a few people actually arrive after a two-day ride down the Kok river, alternatively you can take an hour cruise up river in one of the long tail boats.

Treks are a popular activity and usually include an elephant ride, rafting down sedate rivers on bamboo rafts and visits to the curious hill tribe villages of the Karen, Akkha, Lisu, Lahu and Mien, each displaying differing and unique cultures.

Trips to the Golden Triangle and Mekong river are popular and the Burmese border town of Tachilek is a mere hour’s drive away. People typically cross for a few hours to pick up bargains among the many cheap Chinese goods on sale.

The easiest way to reach Chiang Rai is to fly to Chiang Mai on one of the regular daily flights from Bangkok or Singapore and then hire a car. The local buses aren’t terribly comfortable or efficient.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
