Chiang Mai

Mountain temples, elephants and northern Thai culture.

About Chiang Mai

The cultural heart of the north

Surrounded by forested mountains, Chiang Mai offers a cooler, calmer side of Thailand with over 300 temples, artisan villages and night markets.

It pairs perfectly with Bangkok and a beach stay — a short domestic flight connects you to the islands in the south.
