Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park

From visiting the Bang Sai Orchid Garden and the Nong Yao Forest to exploring agro-tourism in Thailand, there are many educational experiences to be had in former Siam. Upon perusal of a Chiang Rai travel guide, for instance, travellers will find iconic attractions such as the Baan Dam Museum, also known as the Black House, the Wat Klong Wiang, a lesser known temple, and the Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park: sites of importance that merit a visit. For tourists who wish for luxurious and comfortable accommodation in Chiang Rai, the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is an excellent option for it is located centrally to a number of major tourist attractions.
