Chiang Mai
Serenity and History in a Mountainous Setting
Chiang Mai is surrounded by mountainous terrain and offers plenty of sight seeing activities, tours and great shopping to complement the Thai hospitality. With the old town uniquely surrounded by a pretty moat and historic ramparts, the city has become famous for its handicrafts, Northern culture and hill trekking excursions into the nearby mountains.
Wander among the historic ruins, admire the exquisite Buddhist temples or sit in quiet contemplation beside the moat and soak up the charm of this sleepy city. Explore Chiang Mai's enormous night bazaar for some great bargains. Buy silks and handicrafts before heading up the Ping River by boat to some of the lively restaurants. The Thais are known for their massages and Chiang Mai has several spas where you can book in for a few hours of ultimate bliss.
Visit the 13th century ruins southwest of the city. This recently excavated settlement of Wiang Kum Khan makes a fascinating place to explore. Also head into the hills for river rafting, elephant rides and visits to hill tribes.
