CHIANG MAI

Thailand Home Button Country Information Button


Chiang Mai, Thailand‘s second largest city, is located 440 miles north of Bangkok in a valley some 1,000 feet above sea level. Founded in 1296, Chiang Mai has always been an important center for trade and politics.

Today, vestiges of the old city can still be found in the crumbling city walls, the surrounding moat, and the occasional spire of a centuries-old wat. Chiang Mai also serves as a jumping off point for exploring hilltribe villages.

There are six major tribes (or minority ethnic groups) in northern Thailand, and several minor ones. Each tribe has it’s own culture - costume, beliefs and language.

Chiang Mai also lures its share of shoppers. The city is known for its antique shops and as a center for hilltribe handicrafts. Thai silk, raw, nubby and colorful is made just outside of Chiang Mai.
