Chiang Mai is a popular city in mountainous northern Thailand.

Whilst it is a major growing city, it has managed to retain a relaxed ambiance reminiscent of it’s early tourism days as a popular back-backing destination.

Founded in 1296, it was capital of the independent Lanna Kingdom until 1558. Its Old City area still retains vestiges of walls and moats from its history as a cultural and religious center.
