Going from Hua Hin to Chiang Rai? CABHUAHIN picks you up at your door in Hua Hin and drives you straight to Chiang Rai in a private air-conditioned car. The trip is about 980 km and takes around 12 h 45 min without long stops. One fixed price per car, not per person.
Chiang Rai is Thailand's northernmost province, best known for its striking modern temples – the White Temple, the Blue Temple – and the Black House art museum by local artists. Beyond town lie the Golden Triangle on the Mekong, Doi Tung and the tea hills of Doi Mae Salong. Chiang Rai town is smaller and calmer than Chiang Mai; November–February is ideal.
