Moving to Chang Rai, Thailand: About Chiang Rai
If you are looking for somewhere a bit off the beaten track, with spectacular open countryside, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, forests, and idyllic villages, Chaing Rai offers a peaceful retreat. Chaing Rai is the most northern province in Thailand, and is also the name of the northernmost large city, home to around 200,000 people.
If you are moving to the city of Chaing Rai, there are a number of expats who have made this their home. Many of them are retirees, or have settled in Chaing Rai after meeting their partner. They all agree that the scenery is spectacular, the health care is excellent, the food healthy and delicious, and there are some great sporting facilities including two superb golf courses – Waterford Valley Club and Santiburi Golf Club.
The city is well catered for expats as it has all the facilities you require, whether you are relocating with family, or moving for a change of scenery. Chaing Rai, which is 110 miles from Chaing Mai and 530 miles from Bangkok, has two international schools: the prestigious Chaing Rai International School and the Chiang Rai International Christian School. They are both in the Mueang District and offer schooling from kindergarten age to secondary school. And, if your family is thinking of staying on in the region after school age, the three universities are: Mae Fah Luang University, Chaing Chiang Rai Rajabhat University and Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna.
If you are moving to a different country, the quality and standard of healthcare is always a concern, but you don’t need to worry of you are moving to Chaing Rai. The city has three hospitals including the private hospital, Kasemrad Sriburin General, and the two national hospitals, Over Brook and Kasemrad Sriburin, which are comparative to those in the capital. Chaing Rai also offers high standards of dental care too – at great prices.
