In Chiang Mai, no guide is necessary as the city is ideal for exploring by yourself. Sight seeing and tours of Chiang Mai are popular activities and you can wander among historic ruins, admire exquisite temples or simply sit quietly beside the moat and soak up the charm of this sleepy city.
Chiang Mai has been a significant settlement of the Lanna Kingdom since King Mengrai founded a new capital here 1296. With an old town uniquely surrounded by a pretty moat and historic ramparts, the city has become famous for its handicrafts, Northern culture and hill trekking excursions into the nearby mountains. |
