    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • Chiang Rai is located in northern Thailand, about 200 km from Chiang Mai. I can get there by bus, train, or plane.

    • • The currency is Thai baht (THB) and the exchange rate is about 1 USD = 31 THB.

    • • The main mode of transport in Chiang Rai is tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled motorized vehicle. I can also rent a bicycle or a motorbike to explore the city and its surroundings.
