Chiang Rai's guardian temple perched on a small hill — a 14th-century golden stupa with panoramic views over the city and the Kok River.

Most places on this list sit outside the city and have no return Grab, so plan the ride before you go — see how to get around Chiang Rai for what each option costs. If you would rather not work out the logistics, a local operator runs a shared day tour that links the main sights with hotel pickup: how a full day in Chiang Rai usually runs.
