Founded in 1296 as the capital of the ancient Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. The city is surrounded by lush jungles, serene rivers, and rolling hills, making it a gateway to some of Thailand’s most stunning national parks, hill tribe villages, and outdoor adventures.
At its heart lies the Old City, surrounded by historic walls and a moat. Within this area, visitors can explore over 300 temples, including the iconic Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, perched on a mountain overlooking the city. Chiang Mai’s temples are known for their exquisite Lanna architecture, golden chedis, and peaceful atmosphere.
Beyond its spiritual sites, Chiang Mai is a hub for crafts, cuisine, and creativity. The city is famous for its night bazaars, handicraft markets, and Thai cooking schools.
