(Photo: ท้องถิ่นนิวส์)CHIANG RAI - Chiang Rai municipality has launched a free electric coach service to help residents cope with rising fuel prices and limited supply, with the vehicles running throughout the day on routes that cover key areas of the northern city. The service operates daily from 8am to 5pm, with departures every hour from Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1. The coaches travel in a loop around the city, stopping at 15 key locations including King Mengrai Monument, Chiang Rai Vocational College, Suan Tung and Khom Park, the old provincial hall, Overbrook Hospital, Chiang Rai Municipality Office, the municipal fresh market and Clock Tower. The move also aligns with the municipality’s ambition to transform Chiang Rai into both a “green city” and a “wellness city”.
