The entire country of Thailand with it's exotic culture, endless activities, beautiful sunsets, tropical weather, and friendly people is a favorite destination for romantic excursions. Those who watched the last showing on Bachelor on Feb 25 can attest to the beauty of the country, and those who plan on watching the 'final rose ceremony' will see more of this beautiful country when the Bachelor's finale takes place in Chiang Rai, which is located in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle.
Chinag Rai is an ancient land, having been inhabited since the 7th century, but today it is a favorite place for travelers. It's attractions range from ruins, ancient settlements, Buddhist shrines, and magnificent mountains to hill tribe villages. This is a step back, away from the glitz of large modern cities, luxury hotels and crowds. Chiang Rai appeals to those interested in nature, jungle trekking, hiking trails, and visiting hill tribes who still maintain their traditional lifestyles and where entire clans live together in bamboo houses.
Visitors to Chiang Rai should allow lots of time to participate in the many attractions available, a complete list can be found by visiting here. Four of these popular attractions are featured.

![The Golden Triangle is a must see attraction, as this is where the famed border location of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet, on the Mekong River. It was said, to have once been a center, for all the poppy cultivation in Thailand. This area where the Mekong and Ruak Rivers meet is referred to as "Sop Ruak", within it are many ancient places with structures that were settled by ancient people, and where legends about the ancestors of the Lannas can be heard. River trips are available to see the upstream scenery of the Golden Triangle and to go downstream to Chiang Khong.](http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/profile_large/hash/f9/5c/f95c00a8cc4b03dca44d01845a22e44e.jpg?itok=kdDP9ld7 "The Golden Triangle is a must see attraction, as this is where the famed border location of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet, on the Mekong River.
