Car Rental Mini Guide for Chiang Rai Airport

Chiang Rai Airport, officially known as Mae Fah Luang-Chiang Rai International Airport, is the primary airport serving the city of Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. Located approximately 8 kilometers from the city center, the airport offers domestic and limited international flights. It serves as a gateway to the Golden Triangle region and is an important transportation hub for tourists visiting Chiang Rai and its surrounding areas.

Chiang Rai Airport offers domestic flights to various destinations within Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, among others. As for international flights, there are limited connections to neighboring countries like China, Myanmar, and Laos.

Chiang Rai is fast becoming a tourist destination alongside its neighbour Chiang Mai, but it mainly attracts people looking for a quieter time and who want to visit the outstanding natural features of the area.  The attractions there range from the ruins of ancient settlements to magnificent mountain scenery. 

Chiang Rai is a popular destination in the north of the country. It is popular with backpackers and has the air of a frontier town. It is home to the site of the original Emerald Buddha, a key religious icon. The original has now been moved to Bangkok whilst a replica remains there.

There you can also take a river boat on the Kok River to see how the area’s people rely on the river for their livelihood. Hire a car and visit the Gate of Siam, a hilltop border point from where you can look across to Laos.
