Chiang Mai is Thailands second city and sits in the cool green north of the country. Its quite unlike the cluttered sprawl of manic Bangkok and although urbanized, retains much tradition and spirit. Founded around 700 years ago, quite a bit of history is still evident in Chiang Mai and certainly a bit of culture. The Rose of the North is surrounded by the hills, and with vintage teak houses, flowers and temples galore, theres plenty to appreciate.

Chiang Mais main appeal however lies in its identity as the capital of the colorful ethnic North. To make the most of your trip get out into the countryside and experience both the challenging terrain and the colorful hill tribes.

The inner Old City is marked by rebuilt city walls and is surrounded by a moat. Many historical points of interest lie within this boundary.

Of Chiang Mais countless temples, one certainly worth mention is at the top of Doi Suthep Mountain 17 km away and offering splendid views of the city. The most venerated temple in Chiang Mai, Phrathat Doi Suthep is believed to enshrine holy Buddha relics. This gleaming bronze landmark is visible for miles. Closer up are over 60 various bells and gongs, and many visitors perform the ritual of ringing the bells or hang their own little bells among hundreds of others. They tinkle with the gentle breeze, sending their messages to the winds. The attached small museum isnt much - just a bric-a-brac collection of old junk, some of it look like they were haggled from a souvenir stall. An affordable tram bypasses the 300 steps.


The well-preserved 1296 Wat Chiang Man houses two sacred Buddha images, the 1800 year-old Crystal Buddha and 2500 year-old Marble Buddha. The spires are intact and the rear stupa has sacred elephant heads carved out of stone, still standing today. The intricately detailed Wat Phra Singh lies next to a monk school. Built in 1345 it has been restored to a more ornate and modern look. Inside is the mysterious Phra Singh Buddha, it purportedly came from Sri Lanka but its style suggests otherwise.

The 14th Century Chedi Luang was at 90 meters the highest and proudest stupa in the old Lanna kingdom. A Burmese invasion and an earthquake somewhat demolished it and its now half its original size. Strange plastic signs saying like when the wine is in, the wit is out line the ruins. Perhaps the nearby university campus has something to do with this. The chedi has some magnificent surviving stone carvings of exotic beasts.

Note: dress modestly when entering temples - strictly no shorts, bare shoulders or revealing dresses. Shoes must be removed!

Dating from 1371, the grounds of Wat Suandok are speckled with a cluster of small whitewashed stupas marking the resting place of the Lanna Kingdoms final Royal Family. The central stupa apparently contains the other half of Buddhas relics from Doi Suthep. Interesting temple murals chronicle Buddhas life in a nearby chapel.

Thailands largest zoo, Chiang Mai Zoo is so massive you can drive through making stops to visit the animals. The zoo is well-kept and much better than the mostly sad efforts of the Far East, with plenty of room for the healthy animals to roam around and plenty of things to sniff. With room for a camping ground its a popular spot with families.


Wat Suandok

Rising to 2,565 metres the cool hills of the Doi Inthanon National Park are shrouded in evergreen forests. With trekking trails, beautiful waterfalls and friendly hill tribes, it offers all sorts of possibilities. The Parks Pra Mahathat Chedi commemorates the 60th birthday of the King in 1989 followed by the Queens in 1994. The materials used in each chedi represent the character of the monarchs. The Kings Royal Project is an agricultural research center assisting those living in the hills. The greenhouse is full of some of Thailands stunning tropical and temperate flowers and plants.

Prepare to get wet when approaching the Vachiratharn Waterfalls, known for its height and steepness, it has various trails winding around with some nice views. The climb gets tough and once you finally stagger to the top you come to a road, a real anticlimax -youd pictured the start of the falls. The second largest, Mae Klang is a good way to end the day and the trek is both pleasant and easy. Pack a picnic and take a little dip in the cool streams.

40 minutes from the city is Hang Dong with some tranquil hotels, from basic and rustic to comfy 4 stars. Most feel the urge to take in the fresh, crisp mountain air and spend the day half asleep doing absolutely nothing. In winter it can get a bit
