Soak up the scenery as your private driver whisks you off on an unforgettable journey past elephant pastures, ancient Lanna sites and remote border regions alive with invigorating wilderness.

Immerse in nature in a luxury bubble set on raised decks in the jungle. Your 22-square-metre jungle adobe is air-conditioned and comes with all the space you need for getting away or coming together, including a bedroom, living area and ensuite bathroom.

Tuesdays and Sundays: 8.30 am - 3.30 pm

With one of Asia’s most famous waterways on our doorstep, a journey by private longtail boat is a must. Depart from our jetty on the tranquil Ruak River and onto the mighty Mekong. Drift through the heart of three countries converging to form the Golden Triangle, with Chiang Rai treating you to sweeping jungle views at every turn.

When the late Princess Mother moved to Doi Tung mountain in Chiang Rai highlands, she vowed to fight the twin evils of child prostitution and opium growing. Together with her team, she researched and planted alternative crops and set up a Cottage Industries Centre where the products of the hills are transformed, through traditional methods, into high quality goods.

No trip to the Golden Triangle is complete without making a pilgrimage to its beating heart. Take a private limousine to the riverside, near the point where the Ruak and Mekong Rivers meet. Here, on the Thai bank, a giant golden Buddha, elephant statues, and shrines to the royal family mark the epicentre of a fabled region.

On the Thai side of the border with Myanmar lies an eclectic town where haggling over souvenirs has been elevated to an art form. Hone your bargaining skills and get your photo taken at Thailand's most northern point.

Travel back in time as you explore the remains of antiquities and crumbled stupas of this 8th century temple, located on a hill just outside the Golden Triangle.

Get your culture fix at this historical park containing 14th century Hariphunchai- and Sukhothai-style ruins, and try to spot Bagan influences.

Explore the ancient manuscript depository in a peaceful setting of Wat Phra That Pha Ngao temple and admire its large prayer hall guarding a partially excavated Buddha statue.

The ruins of this Buddhist temple feature an 18-metre octagonal chedi in classic Chiang Saen-Lanna style, introducing you to the area’s dominant architectural style of the 12th-14th centuries.

One of the highest peaks in Chiang Rai, Doi Mae Salong is known for its panoramic views, scenic trekking, Chinese heritage villages and hill tribe communities, as well as tea, coffee and fruit plantations that are well worth a visit.

Visit a working tea plantation, sample different varieties, and take a lunch break at a local restaurant, enjoying dishes infused with tea flavours. 

A fair-trade Arabica plantation run by Ahka farmers, Doi Chang produces some of the world's finest sustainable beans.

The sprawling art and cultural park features teak pavilions dotted across landscaped gardens, with the region's finest collection of Lanna art on display. Continue onto Doi Tung's Cottage Industries Centre and Outlet, one of the late Princess Mother's projects set up to support traditional hill tribe handicrafts.

Chiang Rai's famed white temple is a surreal, haunting masterpiece designed by famous national artist Ajarn Chalermchai Kositpipat. An amalgam of traditional and modern design, it is renowned for its artistry and stark beauty. Inside, Buddhist symbology is remixed with elements of modern pop culture, including references to The Matrix and Marvel characters.

Chiang Rai's other famous must-see is part art studio, part museum and part home of the visionary contemporary painter, Thawan Duchanee. 25 black pavilions are spread over 100 rai, with fantastical if not outright macabre displays inside.
