Thailand Hotels Travel Guide

Welcome to Chiang Mai
"Rose of the North"

Chiang Mai is the largest and most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand, and the capital of Chiang Mai Province. In recent years Chiang Mai has become an increasingly modern city. It has many attractions for the thousands of foreign visitors who come to the city each year. Chiang Mai's historic strength derived from its important strategic location near a southern branch of the ancient Silk Road, and long before the modern influx of foreign visitors the city served as an important centre for handcrafted goods, umbrellas, jewelers and woodcarving.
