CITY GUIDE
Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is northern Thailand’s great cultural city: a former Lanna capital where old temples, mountain scenery, markets, cafés and contemporary creative life sit comfortably beside one another. The Old City remains the historic heart, Doi Suthep rises immediately to the west, Nimman brings a younger café-and-design scene, and the Night Bazaar side adds shopping and evening energy. Beyond the centre, waterfalls, gardens, mountain villages and national parks make Chiang Mai as useful for day trips as it is for city exploration.
