Chiang Mai Vacations

In Chiang Mai you will find the best of all things Thai – temples, a rich cultural heritage, and shopping. The temple Wat Phrathat is located high upon the mountain of Doi Suthep. Climb the 290 stairs, lined on both sides by giant, ornately decorated nagas – divine mythological serpents – for spectacular sights.

For shopping, head either to the factories for brassware, rosewood inlaid with mother-of-pearl, paper umbrellas, and lacquerware; or walk though the Night Market in downtown where hill tribe handicrafts are sold alongside T-shirts and handbags.
