Chiang Mai – the Keystone to Your Thailand Tour

Thailand’s fifth-largest city with population of more than a million in the metropolitan area, Chiang Mai represents the hub of Northern Thailand. Surrounded by lush countryside and beautiful mountains, this city is far more relaxed, quieter and greener than Bangkok and therefore many Thais moved here to settle permanently. If you come to Thailand, locals will always ask you if you had been to Chiang Mai already. For those who really want to discover the history of Thailand, traveling to Chiang Mai is a must, because along with Sukhothai, this was the first Southeast Asian state that made the important transition form domination of Khmer and Mon cultures to an era ruled by Thai people. Find a cool guesthouse, luxurious hotel or any accommodation that suits you, and visit the “Rose of the North” as the keystone to your trip to Thailand.

Chiang Mai is a modern, dynamic city that has a cosmopolitan air, but due to a fact that it has in excess of 121 temples within the thetsabaan, Thais idealize their northern capital as a mystical and quaint city. Well, Chiang Mai really successfully manages to combine its modern side with its traditions and rich history. Many people travel to Thailand because they fall in love with Thai cuisine and want to discover all the gastronomic secrets of tasty and delicious Thai food. Chiang Mai is the perfect place to to learn about spices, ingredients and cooking techniques that make Thai meals so incredibly delicious. If you come to Chiang Mai, explore lovely ancient temples and take a walk along lovely jungle tracks. If you have extra days to stay here, you should definitely sleep in a traditional bamboo hut at night and learn the tribe people’s tricks and secrets how to survive the jungle. However, even if you are not so into the adventure, stretching those legs and taking to the hills to walk through green fields will surely be an enjoyable experience.
