 The
city of Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by King Mengrai as part
of the Lao-Thai-Lanna kingdom and is considerably smaller and
quieter than it's city sister of the north, Chiang Mai. Chiang
Rai is also is also known to tourists as the gateway to the "Golden
Triangle". This name comes from the fact that several "opium-warlords"
in the border region of Laos-Myanmar (Burma)-Thailand made fortunes
from cultivating opium poppies in the 1960s and 70s. As some pockets
of opium growth might remain in Thailand, most drug production
has shifted across the border and the farmers are now growing
other crops, such as tea, coffee and fruit.
 Currently,
YWAM Thailand has several important ministries up in the Chiang
Rai region. Inspite of the intense spiritual darkness that clouds
the region, YWAM Thailand has been been taking incredible steps
forward in the spiritual realm.
Throughout the years, there have been many significant prophetic
words spoken over Chiang Rai and the surrounding area and we believe
it is a profoundly strategic area.
