Local recommendations in & around Chiang Rai

[rose33]

Hi team

 

Visiting lovely Chiang Rai and would be grateful for any help in finding these locally, please:

- organic/health/permaculture business or cafe, that has a local noticeboard (incl in English language)

- waterfall with a nice sunrise view ????

- decent dry cleaning service.

 

Thank you for your help ????.

I'd suggest trying the cafes that are on the street facing the bus station in the middle of town. There is also a shop there that sells a wide range of herbal products.

It's not a waterfall, but Phu Chi Fa about two hours drive on the Thoeng Road should not be missed. Need to be reasonably fit to get to the top.

If you are driving up on the 118, Wat Sang Kaew Phothiyan between Wiang Pa Pao and Mae Suai is well worth visiting. Largest temple in Northern Thailand, bigger than the better known Wat Rong Khun. Has Hindu and Burmese influences.

Can't help with the dry cleaning, AFAIK every laundry uses washing machines.

Go to the FB page "Chiang Rai Everything" register with the page and make the same ask as you have here.

 

The page has more than 5,000 members and almost all of them are in Chiang Rai!!

Also nice to have 'non - big tech' options... Like a good old fashioned pinboard at an organic shop... Still open to other locals' ideas... Cheers.
