Chiang Rai, Administrative division in northern Thailand.

The province encompasses 11,678 square kilometers of mountains and valleys, bordering Myanmar to the north and Laos to the east.

The province was established in 1910 when the Lanna Kingdom territory merged with Thailand, after centuries under Burmese control until 1786.

The region contains numerous hill tribe communities, including Akha, Lahu, Karen, and Hmong groups, each maintaining their traditions and languages.

The province connects to other regions through Chiang Rai International Airport and multiple highways, with 18 districts divided into 124 subdistricts.

The province marks the location of the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet at the confluence of rivers.
