No, no, this isn't a large park where fresh Singha beer bottles hang from the trees as far as the eye can see. Here, a different beverage takes center stage. Singha Park, formerly known as Boon Rawd Farm, is primarily comprised of tea plantations. Opened in December 2012, it offers a variety of activities and attractions alongside its beautiful, perfectly manicured and trimmed oolong tea plants. These include a small zoo (I'm not usually a fan of such places), a farm, a vegetable and fruit garden, and a zip line. While there is a small park train, the best way to explore Singha Park is by bicycle. Simply rent one near the zip line tower. Cycling is very popular with locals here on weekends. You can even rent tandems or children's bikes. Tickets and equipment for the zip line are also available at the bike rental shop. Keep in mind that Singha Park in Chiang Rai hosts numerous events throughout the year, such as a balloon festival, a jazz festival, and concerts. It is also possible to spend the night in a tent on the small campsite on the premises.

Entry to the park is free, but some attractions and transport options require a fee. Singha Park is open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and some restaurants are open until 11:00 PM. The Singha Farm Tour by tram (9:30 AM to 5:00 PM) costs 50 THB per person (children under 4 ride free). Bicycle rental (8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and until 7:00 PM on weekends) costs 150 THB per hour for a mountain bike and 50 THB per hour for a child's bike. Helmets are provided. The zipline costs 300 THB.

The park is located outside the city of Chiang Rai, about a 10-minute drive from the White Temple. Currently, there is no public transportation to Singha Park, and although a shuttle bus from downtown Chiang Rai was planned for the future, this has not yet happened.
