What's on Chiang Rai?
Balloon festival
That always happens in February International Balloon Fiesta instead of. In the Singha Park then dozens of hot air balloons in all colors, shapes and sizes can be admired over several days. There are competitions, evening night glow by the lake and live music. This of course attracts thousands of visitors. However, since the event is tightly organized, there is not even chaos when getting there.
Trips
Nam Tok Khun Kon waterfall. Nice trip by scooter or bike. the street at Singha Park follow to the signposted junction to the right. From there slightly uphill to the end of the street. Another 1.3 km on a path. On the way back in the above Mino Akha Cafe make a stopover. The creek carries enough water all year round, so that the trip is always worthwhile.
Nightlife
south of Clock Towers is the area where most of the bars and eateries can be found. Sometimes with live music, always well attended. Also at the southern end of the Thanon Sanam Bin (Flughafenstraße) is the 8080 cafe. Here you can meet the most beautiful women in the city in the evenings. opposite lies The Glass Bar. A few bars on the river are also popular with Thais Klang Wiang Street. About that Wangcome Hotel around there are some massage parlors with dexterous ladies.
Many of the below venues are located on Thanon Jed Yod, or Jed Yod Road. This is the “Pub Street” of Chiang Rai, though quieter and far less intense than places like Khao San Road or the original “Pub Street” in Siem Reap. Instead, Jet Yod is home to a steadily increasing number of restaurants, pubs, and Thai-style bars, some of which offer live music at night. It’s not a long street, and it’s possible to hop from venue to venue until you’ve seen it all. Come here to grab a cold beer after a day of touring temples and meet other tourists looking to relax and let loose. Most venues offer a similar menu of beers and cocktails, so browse around to find the one that suits the atmosphere you’re looking for.
Nightlife - Discotheques
Tawandang is a hugely popular Thai style night club that combines excellent food and a wide variety of drinks with epic live singing and dancing performances. This giant music hall is open “after hours” and is a must-visit place for anyone that wants to continue the night after the Jed Yod bars close. The atmosphere is a true party, and the entertainment changes over seamlessly from one superstar to another. Drink well, eat well, and sing and dance your heart out with a seemingly endless rotation of unbelievably talented performers that just keep on going all night long.
