Wakeboarding fun at Chiang Rai


Studded with ancient temples and wondrous cultural attractions, Thailand is a land like no other. Boasting gorgeous beaches and alluring patches of lush greenery, this tropical paradise is blessed in more ways than one.

It is hard to believe that a leisure park dedicated to the sport of wakeboarding exists on a large number of hectares in the heart of Northern Thailand. Situated in Chiang Rai, Planete Wakeboard is open for pros as well as novices who want to try their hand at the exhilarating sport. In fact, the sophisticated wave making machines provide the perfect wave for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, which is becoming quite the popular sport.

Planete Wakeboard’s location is unique, being central to the borders of Laos, China and Vietnam. It is merely 15Kilometres away from the Chiang Rai International Airport. When arriving at the leisure park, the Huaisak Reservoir serves as a beautiful setting amidst all the sporting activities and is ideal for a vacation of adventure as well as a relaxing holiday.

There is also a food court, restaurant and a bar to accommodate visitors to Planete Wakeboard. A large natural pool and a video games arcade provide entertainment for the kids during the stay. Along the pool is a space for water sports such as volleyball with readily available equipment.

There is also an area for sports such as basketball, ping pong and even shooting. The man made beach area with swaying coconut trees is also a treat to experience as you feel right at a beach resort though in the middle of Northern Thailand. There are also extensive gardens with beautiful landscaping. Visitors usually sit by the gardens to take in the surroundings and to experience quality family time.

When looking for Chiang Rai resorts during your stay in the region, only one spectacular hotel comes to mind. Part of the prestigious Golden Triangle hotels, the Anantara Golden Triangle, Thailand is set in lush surroundings and overlooks the Thai countryside as well as elephant land. Taste the unique Lanna cuisine and immerse in the unique culture and hospitality which will be an experience never to be forgotten.
