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,
shopping and
woodcarving. All of these makes the North of
Thailand and Chiang Mai very
popular for visitors all over the World |
