About Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai is in the 'Golden Triangle' being bordered by Myanmar on the North and Laos on the east.

Chang Rai was the first capital of Lanna, a million rice fields.
The Golden Triangle, 8Kms north of Chiang Saen, is where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar(previously know as Burma) and Laos, meet.
Worthy of a visit with views of the Mekong River and the remarkable mountain scenery of these three countries.
Visit the hot mineral spring with temperature of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. be warned they are not for bathing in. These springs are full of natural minerals. Take some back and try in your hotel bath room.
Thais love their elephants and trekking by elephant will let you see the indigenous tribes of the Karen, Ackha and Mien hill tribes.
The Opium Museum at nearby Sop Ruak, shows the tools used in the production, plus the ill effects caused by its use. Well worth a half day, the remainder of which could be spent on a relaxing boat trip down the Mekong.
Mountain Biking Bikes can be rented locally, allowing you to cycle in the natural beauty of the surrounding mountain landscape. Many trails are available to follow, or bring a guide along.
With so much to do and see and quiet roads, a hire car in Chiang Mai is recommended to really appreciate this beautiful part of Thailand.

Mr Martin Silsby Reviewed: 10 June 2013 Rented Honda Jazz in: Pattaya Downtown All Pattaya Downtown Reviews Overall Experience : prices are good , can do better, with local companies , but not with the back up here. Supplier Service: pick up - could do better poor chap had limited English , lucky I know what required and had it all ready , His answer to all was yes ( even to do I put diesel in). But he tried his best and the paper work and car pick up was done with 45 mins ( which is quick really as I go over the car really well ). Taking the car back was much better, he had is sister there who had very good English. Car: yes was clean and for once the correct model , other retail I had a free upgrade, which just ends up costing more in fuel |

Mr Kirill Trifonov Reviewed: 10 May 2013 Rented Toyota Fortuner 2WD in: Phuket Airport All Phuket Airport Reviews Overall Experience : Good Supplier Service: (1) Staff's command of Engish was not good, esp. when it would come to a discussion (see #2) (2) On pickup the staff tried to get some extra money from me for the full insurance which in reality was included according to FastCaHire voucher. They said "What's included is not a full insurace, you have to pay to make it a full one, or you drive at own risk". (3) Unblocking of the deposit took 32 days after car's return instead of 7 days as it had been promised by staff. Next time I will use Thai Rent which I used last year with none of the above problems. Car: Clean, brand new, a more spacious Chevy TrailBlazer Diesel instead of the booked Toyota Fortuner |

Mr Ian Dalton Reviewed: 25 April 2013 Rented FFAR Toyota Vigo Double Cab 4WD in: Chiang Mai All Chiang Mai Delivery Service Reviews Overall Experience : good....Hi. I hired 2 cars of you and Budget was the supplier.The company and the staff were a delight to deal with. The first car had a problem with the ipod connection which i got to work on occasions. I took the car back to Budget and 2 young lads tried to fix it but could not. The second car I hired was not very clean on the outside and the ipod did not work at all. Also the GPS had no mapping data installed and the rear cargo light did not work. I eventually got the ipod to work but only on the second last day by doing a factory reset on the Kenwood system. If a car has these features and you hire them then I would expect that they would work. Other than that the cars went well. Regards Supplier Service: More than helpful staff Car: |

Car: excellent |

Gilles Condadzian Reviewed: 7 March 2013 Rented Honda Freed in: Trang Airport All Trang Airport Reviews Overall Experience : We collected at Trang airport the car we'd booked and we just want to thank the Budget staff there who were very helpful and nice.The car we picked there was great and we enjoyed driving it up to Bangkok.And, on top of that, I've just realized that Budget had sent back some money onto my bank account for the car we hired from them last December, also from Trang as there was extra charge for a pick up in Trang when I made the reservation because at that time, they didn't have an office there but by the time we collected the car, they'd opened one and they certainly considered the transfer fee from Krabi didn't apply any more. Thanks and congratulations to Budget in Trang. Supplier Service: Very good. Car: Clean, good. |
