Chiang Rai

"Chiang Rai is a hidden gem that every solo female traveller should visit! This charming city in northern Thailand has so much to offer, from its delicious halal cuisine to its stunning natural beauty. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I was delighted to find a wide range of lactose-free options in local restaurants. One of my favorite things to do in Chiang Rai was exploring the local markets and trying out all the different street food options. I highly recommend the Muslim market, which is packed with vendors selling delicious halal food, including amazing curry dishes and grilled meat skewers. For nature lovers, Chiang Rai has plenty of opportunities to explore the great outdoors. I highly recommend hiking up to the top of Doi Mae Salong, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. And if you love photography, you'll definitely want to bring your camera along on this hike! Chiang Rai is also a great place to immerse yourself in local culture. You can visit the White Temple, a stunning temple with a unique design that reflects both traditional and contemporary influences. And if you're looking for a more authentic experience, head to the nearby hill tribe villages to learn about their traditions and way of life. Overall, Chiang Rai is a cool city that is perfect for solo female travellers. With its delicious halal food, stunning natural beauty, and rich local culture, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience. So pack your bags and get ready for an adventure you'll never forget!"
