Experience Chiang Rai with the Locals

Founded with heartfelt dedication to establish an open online home for sharing local stories, landscape photography, travel directions, and ethnic lifestyles of Chiang Rai. One of the earliest bilingual community web portals in Upper Northern Thailand.

Flourished into an active regional exchange for Lanna cultural traditions, Doi Tung, Phu Chi Fa, Doi Mae Salong, and Mae Sai border crossing guides. Travelers actively shared mountain road conditions and weather forecasts.

Restructured onto Mambo CMS, categorizing Chiang Rai's geography, history, ethnic cultures, and festivals to welcome a surging wave of international travelers and photographers exploring the Golden Triangle.

Adopted Joomla from its initial 1.0 release, structuring extensive databases of regional heritage articles. One of Thailand's longest continuously maintained and upgraded open-source community travel portals.

In response to growing member requests for trustworthy local drivers, guides, and hotels, we launched direct travel planning services under our defining philosophy: “Experience Chiang Rai with the Locals”.

Officially incorporated as iChiangrai Co., Ltd. (บริษัท ไอเชียงราย จำกัด) with fully bonded passenger insurance and certified by the Department of Tourism (TAT License No. 21/00869), establishing our dedicated VIP van fleet.
