Located in the very north of Thailand, the province of Chiang Rai is home to the country's most dramatic mountains and some of its most beautiful rainforests and rivers. It's also one of the most ethnically diverse areas in Thailand; there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to learn about the cultures of the indigenous hill tribes, particularly if they are willing to trek into the remote mountain villages. However, the province is perhaps most famous for being the location of Wat Rong Khun (known in English as the White Temple), a stunning Buddhist temple with an intricate white exterior.
