Chiang Mai is the "Rose" of northern Thailand, a beautiful city
by the Mae Ping river
and shadowed by the magnificent Doi Suthep mountain.
Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second city and capital of the northern provinces.
Chaing Mai town and its surrounding area are renowned for arts and crafts, spa,
massage and herbal health products, beautiful nature spots and trekking along
with other outdoor activities.
Chiang Mai is without doubt one of the best
places to visit or live in Thailand, indeed in the whole of Asia.
Travel to Thailand is incomplete without a visit to the north. The people of
Chiang Mai are renowned for being the friendliest in Thailand and that's saying
something in this great and welcoming country.
The city's history stretches back
700 years when it was the centre of the Lanna Kingdom so there's plenty of
heritage here too.
