Chiang Rai Gay/Lesbian Resources
Chiang Rai is a small town without much of a gay scene. There are a few commercial bars around the Wangcome Hotel, but otherwise there aren't any places catering to gay visitors. Like all of Thailand, Chiang Rai is quite relaxed in its attitude towards same-sex relationships. Its a place to take someone special for a few days on your own.
Gay visitors may want to pay homage to the city's modern City Pillar shrine, a forest of 108 stone phalluses at the top of Doi Tong in the northwest corner of town.
