TAT Picks Visama Mae Chan for Chiang Rai Showcase

Ten travel agents from China explored the attractions of Chiang Rai in a Tourism Authority of Thailand-hosted familiarisation trip, 12-14 December.

Visama Mae Chan luxury tented camp was chosen by TAT as a base to showcase the best of Thailand’s most northerly province.

While in the hills of Chiang Rai, the agents visited remarkable cultural landmarks such as Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple), Wat Rong Sua Ten (The Blue Temple), and Wat Huai Pla Kung. They took a hot air balloon ride over the mountains and tried their creative skills at an Akha cooking class. They sampled a creative industries workshop at On Tai village.

At the luxury Visama Mae Chan tented camp the travel agents experienced northern Thai dishes and herbal teas, took a sunrise mountain bike ride, stretched out in a yoga lesson, watched a hill tribe crafts women weaving demonstration, and had a movie presentation beside the resort’s fireside Ambalama outdoor story-telling place.

The travel agent trip to Chiang Rai was part of a larger six-night familiarisation trip by the TAT, which also included Chiang Mai.

Visama Mae Chan, which opened in December 2023, has a full five-star rating on TripAdvisor. The resort has a range of offers available for Christmas, New Year and beyond. Visit https://maechan.visamalodges.com/experiences-offers/
