Welcome to
Chiang Mai
Thailand
Chiang Mai is the cultural capital of northern Thailand — a relaxed, beautiful city surrounded by mist-covered mountains, dotted with over 300 ancient Lanna temples, and famous for the best food in a country already blessed with extraordinary cuisine. The Old City moat frames a walkable historic core of gilded wats and teak buildings, while the Sunday Night Market and Night Bazaar offer some of Thailand's best artisan shopping. Beyond the city, elephant sanctuaries in the jungle, hill tribe village treks, zip-lining through forest canopies, and the surreal floating lanterns of the Yi Peng festival make Chiang Mai one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding destinations.
