Chiang Mai - Thailand

Chiang Mai is the largest city in the North of Thailand. However, the atmosphere is much more relaxed than in Bangkok and you can easeliy relax there for a few days. From there you have easy connections to further interesting places in the North of the country like Chiang Rai.

Many temples and old houses can be found in Chiang Mai. Doi Suthep is the most famous one and situated on a hill about 30 min drive from the city.

 












Shopping is quite interesting there: items like furniture, clothes or souvenirs are much cheaper than in Bangkok or on the beach areas. A day tour at an elephant camp can also be nice if you have time.
