Catching a cab is the easiest way to get from Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong. It allows you to tailor-make your trip, plan all the detours and see all the places you want. You can choose the type and the size of your car as well to be as comfortable as you'd like to.
Depending on the route, it might cost as much as USD 32.91.
Things to remember: It's a good idea to follow the route on Google Maps or any other GPS navigator.
Vans
A shared van is another means of transport for traveling from Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong. As far as travel time is concerned, it’s basically equal to a taxi ride, while price-wise it’s way more affordable. The majority of tourists book a van online in advance.
Sometimes, when trains or buses aren’t available, a van is your only way to get from Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong.
Things to remember: while traveling by van, you might not have as much space for luggage as you would on a train or a plane. It’s a good idea to pack only the most useful things for a van trip and put them in a backpack that will be easy to carry around..
