Chiang Mai is the city of beauty, warm hospitality and good manners; a city of religion & ancient
Buddhist temples and the
centre of Thai arts and handicrafts.
Over 700 years culture is rooted so deeply that it has its own dialect, architecture, costumes,
dances and even its own
cuisine.
Though modernization crept into this faraway region, Chiang Mai retains its natural charm & old culture. History is a boon to tourists who can marvel at the archeological and historical artifacts
that
burst out of the countryside. Whether you want it or not, you will have to immerse yourself in history, but also in a smoking
hot nightlife, as Chiang Mai has a bit of everything.
In day time you will want to take a walking tour to some of the more than 300 Buddhist
temples,
all of which are
at least 500 years old.
The most interesting ruins in the region are called Wiang Kum
Kham; they are from a lively city, which washed out in a flood 700 years ago.
Don't forget the elephant show and see how an elephant will paint, play soccer and basketball, or take an elephant-ride into the jungle.
White water rafting is another popular activity, as is rock climbing.
Chiang Mai is also known for its amazing golf courses and well-tended tennis courts.
If you are into shopping, Chiang Mai has one of
the most exciting night-time bazaars of Thailand, where you can get
great deals on silk and traditional hand made crafts.
If you don’t feel like hiking or walking, you can
enjoy a boat trip up and down the Ping River.
The city is also known for gourmet meals at affordable prices, with dozens of restaurants in the
city, almost all of them are world class.
