Ban Du is a peaceful suburban district just south of central Chiang Rai, known for its natural attractions and ethnic diversity. The main draw is Ban Du Waterfall, a multi-tiered cascade surrounded by lush forest, ideal for picnicking and swimming. Nearby hill tribe villages, including Akha and Lahu communities, offer handicrafts and homestay experiences. The area provides a quieter alternative to the city center, with local markets and temples.
