Thailand’s city of Chiang Rai offers an idyllic escape along with fascinating shopping experiences where one can purchase a range of local products, jade, silverware, silk and handicrafts to name a few. Those planning to do some serious shopping can head to such areas as Mae Chan and Muang, while not to be missed is a visit to the Chiang Rai Night Bazaar in the town centre and the Saturday Walking Street which are home to an eclectic collection of shops and stores. The Golden Triangle area near the  Myanmar border is another great place to shop to your heart’s content! Those looking for Chiang Rai hotels from which to set off on shopping expeditions can stay at Anantara Golden Triangle Thailand. Ideally located in the Golden Triangle area, this hotel in Chiang Rai has its own luxurious spa where you can unwind after a long day of retail therapy.
