3 Best Chiang Rai Wedding Venues in Thailand

Chiang Rai, situated in the mountainous province of the same name, is a northern Thai city located in close proximity to the borders of Laos and Myanmar (previously known as Burma).

Chiang Rai has a unique character that is distinctly Northern and sets it apart from Chiang Mai. The local cuisine is known for its spicier flavors, and the region’s ethnic makeup is notably diverse, including a significant population of hill tribes and Burmese.

From the picturesque riverbanks of the charming city, all the way to the iconic Golden Triangle on the border here is my favorite Chiang Rai wedding venues.

Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle

Not just the best Chiang Rai wedding venue but probably the best in northern Thailand. Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, is an adventure in the heart of northern Thailand’s natural landscape, where you can immerse yourself in the wilderness of Burma and Laos. Staying in luxurious tents or lodges with stunning views of the Ruak River. Interact with rescued elephants, explore bamboo jungles, and unwind in private infinity pools or wooden hot tubs.

Located within four hour scenic drive from Chiang Mai, the camp provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Your Chiang Rai wedding will be an unforgettable experience, surrounded by rescued elephants, bamboo jungles, and mountain trails, in the most intimate setting. Get lost in the misty mountains, mighty rivers, and spectacular trails while enjoying the rustic wooden furnishings, private decks, and outdoor showers in your tent. The Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle offers a unique adventure of a lifetime, perfect for a Chiang Rai Wedding.

The Four Seasons Tented Camp is one of my favorite photography spots! The stunning landscape and the luxurious tents provide an abundance of photo opportunities. The elephant rides are a must-try, and it’s reassuring to know that the elephants are well-cared for in this lovely place. For those who want to have an intimate elopement, this venue is highly recommended.

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

Another remarkable wedding venue in the Chiang Saen Golden Triangle area is the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. With its breathtaking scenery and impeccable services, this resort is an amazing option for your Chiang Rai wedding.

Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the jungle setting, offering an array of picturesque ceremony locations and the perfect backdrop for your dining and spa wedding experiences. Exchange vows amidst the hillsides of three countries, the Mekong River, lush rice paddies, and majestic elephants. Embrace meaningful Thai traditions, including a monks’ ceremony and a water pouring ritual, or opt for a different religious service.

Your Chiang Rai wedding memories will be embellished with the unique Anantara Golden Triangle experiences. With breathtaking views of three countries and immersed in the charm and allure of the Golden Triangle.

Le Meridien Chiang Rai Resort

Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort is a truly exceptional hotel that offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience. Located on the scenic Kok River, this resort provides guests with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including lush green hills and tranquil waters.

The enchanting city of Chiang Rai never fails to captivate me every time I visit. The allure of this destination is not only restricted to the Golden Triangle region but also extends to the city itself. Strolling through the downtown area, I am greeted by an array of picturesque photo opportunities at every turn. The streets are lined with beautiful traditional Thai architecture, charming cafes, and quaint shops, each one contributing to the city’s unique ambiance. The city’s location on the banks of the Kok River adds to its charm and provides many more photo opportunities.

Le Méridien is an excellent choice for Chiang Rai weddings, with a variety of indoor and outdoor venues available. The options include a banquet hall and a manicured lawn with stunning views overlooking the Kok River. The hotel’s two 120-year-old rain trees also make for a perfect backdrop for nuptials. The experienced planners can create a memorable event, whether it be a traditional Lanna ceremony, a Thai-inspired celebration, or a unique Chiang Rai wedding.
