Chiang Mai
The Rose of the North”, the green city of Chiang Mai, sits on a plain surrounded by the mountains and lush countryside of Northern Thailand. Once the site of the giant historical “walled city”, Chiang Mai is now the home of over 30 temples dating back to the founding of the principality through a combination of Burmese, Sri Lankan and Lanna Thai styles. The modern-day city has expanded in all directions, but especially eastward towards the Ping River. You are encouraged to explore the famous Night Bazaar and Loi Kroh Road, where the night comes alive with walking street markets, discos, live music and karaoke bars. During the day, you are welcome to any of the assorted adventures from bungee jumping and rock climbing to leisurely elephant rides.
