Chiang Mai
With its temperate climate, mountainous terrain and colorful mix of hill-tribe peoples, northern Thailand is a very special destination for many travelers. Located 650 km north of Bangkok, Chiang Mai is Thailand's second largest city, the heart of this historic and beautiful region.
Northern hospitality opens its arms to visitors as they walk among the old wooden temples and two-story houses of the ancient walled city. Wind your way along a steep mountain road to Wat Prathat Doi Suthep for a magnificent view of the entire valley. And don't forget to ring the bells for good luck!
This region is home to many minority villages with intriguing taditional ways of life. The exquisite weavings and handicrafts worn, traded and sold by the villagers are typified by rugged quality and unique design. There are also a number of local handicrafts that make Chiang Mai an interesting shopping destination.
Chiang Mai's surrounding valleys and mountains offers a range of great adventure opportunities!
