The Chiang Rai City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings north: which noodle shops are worth an early start, how to reach the White Temple before the buses, where to sip tea in the hills and which small bars make the evening. Every guide is a short, opinionated list that gives the reason to go, what to order or look for and one useful tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Nam Ngiaw Mor Din Pa Aeed
Pao Khun Road
A plain morning shop where locals slurp the city’s own noodle soup: a red, tangy pork broth with dried chilli and soft rice noodles. Go before lunch ends, it closes early. From the food guide.
Baan Dam Museum
Nang Lae, 12km north
Thawan Duchanee’s Black House is a dark, strange village of wooden halls filled with horns, hides and heavy furniture. Treat it as an open-air artwork and give it an unhurried hour. From the things to do guide.
Choui Fong Tea Plantation
Near Mae Chan, on the road to Mae Salong
Green terraces rolling down the slope and a café with a view over them. No ticket and no tour: just walk the rows, order a pot of oolong and buy a bag for home. From the day trips guide.
Plan your Chiang Rai days
Day one: a nam ngiao breakfast near Kad Luang market, the White Temple when the gate opens, Wat Phra Singha in the afternoon and the Clock Tower light show before dinner at the Night Bazaar stalls. Day two: pick one region and do it well, say the tea hills of Mae Salong or the royal villa and gardens of Doi Tung, back in time for a rooftop drink. For a rainy or slow day: the contemporary art museum, the small Hilltribe Museum, the Central Chiangrai mall and a quiet cocktail bar in the evening.
