The word 'Chiang' means 'city' in [[Thai language|Thai]], so Chiang Rai would mean 'the City of (Mang) [[Mangrai|Rai]]'. Subsequently, Chiang Rai was conquered by [[Myanmar|Burma]] and remained under Burmese rule for several hundred years. It was not until 1786 that Chiang Rai became a [[Chiang Mai]] vassal. Siam (Thailand) annexed Chiang Mai in 1899, and Chiang Rai was proclaimed a province of Thailand in 1933.
In 1432, during the reign of King Sam Fang Kaen of the Mangrai Dynasty (1402–1441), the Phra Kaeo, or [[Emerald Buddha]], the most revered [[Buddharupa|Buddha statue]], was discovered in Chiang Rai when an earthquake split the [[stupa|chedi]] at Wat Phra Kaeo of Chiang Rai city. The
In 1992, the [[Lak Mueang|city pillar]] was moved from Wat Klang Wiang to [[Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong]], where it is known as Sadue Mueang ({{lang-th|สะดือเมือง}}), the "navel" or ''[[omphalos]]'' of the city.
Line 147 ⟶ 149:
There are four bridges spanning the Kok River within the town's boundaries, each running south–north. Most of the terrain surrounding Chiang Rai town is either flat or has moderate hills. The exception is outward in the west and north-west directions, where limestone hills are evident, some of which have vertical exposed cliffs. That is also the direction where most of the region's [[Hill tribe (Thailand)|hill tribe]] people have their villages, further afield.
The city is {{convert|860|km}} north of [[Bangkok]], about {{convert|200|km}} north-east of [[Chiang Mai]], {{convert|62|km}} south of [[Mae Sai District|Mae Sai]] and the [[Burma|Burmese]] border; {{convert|60|km}} south-west of the town of [[
==Climate==
Chiang Rai has a [[tropical wet and dry climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Aw''). Winters are fairly dry and warm. Temperatures rise until April, which is hot with the average daily maximum at {{convert|34.5|°C|°F}}. The [[monsoon]] season runs from late April through October, with heavy rain and somewhat cooler temperatures during the day, although nights remain warm.
Snow has been first recorded in 1955.

Route 1 runs from [[Bangkok]] through Chiang Rai to [[Mae Sai District|Mae Sai]] on the [[Burma]] border. Chiang Rai is 839 kilometers from Bangkok, about 14 hours by car or by bus. According to official bus schedules, the bus ride to Chiang Rai from [[Chiang Mai]] takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, All of these times should take into account the rainy season which lasts from about June to late October, this can severely inhibit travel with road sections often completely flooded and even washed out.
Several flights are available to and from Bangkok daily. [[
There is scheduled boat service between Chiang Rai and [[Ban Thaton|Thaton]] in Chiang Mai Province daily. This journey will last about 3–4 hours and is a pleasant alternative to the bus ride through the mountains.
There are currently no rail services to Chiang Rai as the railway line from Bangkok ends at Chiang Mai.
