Wonder where to travel this Valentine’s Day? How about going to Chiang Rai Thailand? During this time of the year, the weather is cooling and also the places of interests and the good food in Chiang Rai. On top of that, there will be an International Hot Air Balloon Festival in Singha Park.

What is Singha Park?

If you never heard of Singha Park, you should visit them when you are traveling in Chiang Rai. The park is also known as Boon Rawd Farm by the locals is a new Agro-Tourism Attraction in Chiang Rai. The park is 8,000 hectares in size and situated 450 metres above sea level and spans over 12.9 kilometres. It is a huge park and it was a barley farm and converted to agro-tourism attraction.

The concept of Singha Park is very unique. It is a social enterprise programme, business and tourism project. Hence, they employed about 500 locals and they changed the former barley plantations to tea plantations, seasonal fruits, flowers farms and tourist attractions. Thus, on top of creating new jobs for locals, they also create new tourism attraction and generate income in a different way. What a genius concept!
