MAP

No area like Khaosan in BKK where many GHs can be found. But all GHs are within 15-20min. on foot or 20-30B by tuk-tuk. When you arrive at the bus station, many people come and offer accommodation. They all have flyers with the map of Chiang Rai. You can get those even you don't go with them. Very useful.
Generally speaking the quality is very good.
After arriving at the bus station, go out the street in front of you and walking to right. Then you come to the main street of Chiang Rai where Pizza Co located. ITIS calls this street Pizza co Rd.
