As the largest and most important cultural center in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai offers visitors lots of opportunities to see and do unusual things. Visit Chiang Mai for its majestic temples, bustling markets and bazaars, and breathtaking national beauty. Getting around the city is easy by walking, biking, or using public transportation. Explore either by yourself or with the help of an expert tour guide, especially if you’re concerned about getting lost in translation. When you travel to Chiang Mai, you’ll find some of Thailand’s greatest cultural treasures, with a more laid-back atmosphere than Bangkok’s.
