As for hotels, located along the Kok River is the Le Meridien Chiang Rai Resort with two majestic century-old rain trees in its garden and a man-made lake.

At the hotel, you can relax by using its gym, going swimming or enjoying a spa treatment. Or just savor a spicy tom yum cocktail.

Its main function room, which has a capacity of 1,230 people, can be divided into nine meeting rooms, all equipped with facilities for conferences.

Those who prefer outdoor and adventure activities should visit Singha Park, where you can enjoy a farm tour in the mountainous area.

The outdoors are also good for team building exercises.

At the tea plantation, you can cycle around, or enjoy a breathtaking view by taking a zipline from a tower and then relax with some Singha, the Thai beer.

The Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park boasts one of the largest collections of art objects of the Lanna Kingdom, such as carved wooden candle holders.

At night, you can enjoy traditional Lanna performances and fantastic views of the architecture and its reflections in the water.
