Mueang Chiang Rai

Used to be full fledge hot spring facility, now only has foot bath, egg boiling and a hot spring fountain. Currently it is more of a rest stop. Most interesting here is there is an abandoned old city resort next door. Kind of eery and charming at the same time.

One of the must visit temple, yet it is very crowded within a small space. I think it is still worth it if you enjoy photography, wear a hat as it is quite sunny and be sure to find some corner with less crowd for take photos in peace. 100B entrance fee for foreigners.

Feels like this is the hidden gem of Doi Chang. Buddha Statues are placed around the forest, and it gives out a mystic vibe. The highlight would be the two natural koi pond in the forest, such a serene atmosphere. There is a small temple where No Cat and Thong Dog lives. Spend sometime to slowly explore the secret of this park.

A simple and small night bazaar which opens everyday, attached to a big food court as well.

Come here as early as 7am to experience the morning market vibe and taste some local snacks.

This restaurant is slightly hidden, might not look like much, but the food is really good. Pork Knuckles small (250B) is soft and flavourful. Eat it together with steam and fried bun, just perfect. I am usually not a fan of soft pork knuckles, but this is just so good.

It is a well kept memorial.

Said to be the best noodle in town, which is pretty good. I prefer the breakfast noodle at our hotel Baan Hom Muen Li, but my wife likes the noodle here better. The lady boss can speak Chinese and Cantonese.
