Chiang Mai is the hub of Northern Thailand and the capital of Chiang Mai Province.
It was the former capital of the Kingdom of Lanna. It is 700 km north of Bangkok and is situated amongst the highest mountains in the country. The city sits astride the Ping River. With a population of over 170,000 it is Thailand’s fifth-largest city. Located on a plain at an elevation of 316 m, surrounded by mountains and lush countryside, it is much greener and quieter than the capital, and has a cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, factors which have led many from Bangkok to settle permanently in this “Rose of the North”. Chiang Mai is a land of misty mountains and colorful hill tribes, a playground for seasoned travellers, a paradise for shoppers and a delight for adventurers. On a trip to Chiang Mai, the curious traveller can expand their horizons with Thai massage and cooking courses. Others will be bowled over by the variety of handicrafts and antiques. The wild child will find plenty of lively nightlife, and the epicure can indulge in wonderful cuisine. Despite its relatively small size, Chiang Mai truly has it all.
