About Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is northern Thailand's cultural capital, a moated old city of temples, markets and crafts surrounded by forested mountains.

The old city, ringed by a square moat and the remains of brick walls, holds dozens of temples, among them the elegant Wat Phra Singh and the ruined great chedi of Wat Chedi Luang. Above town, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep crowns a mountain, reached by a staircase lined with serpents, with views across the valley.

Top-ranked sights in Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon National Park, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Golden Triangle.
