A side from the food, the other reason to visit legation is the three-tale Beijing Center for the Arts (86-10/6559-8008). Rotating exhibitions feature everything from oil paintings and multimedia works to obscure installations from up-and coming Chinese talent.
Apart from resort-based activities, any apres-polo diversions in Chiang Rai province should include a visit to the Hall of Opium (goldentrianglepark.org), which recounts the tragic, colorful saga of the narcotic.
