 
Thailand's
northern city of Chiang Mai has loads to offer, from some of the
country's most beautiful temples to unusual handicrafts to delicious
food. Chiang Mai was one of Thailand's oldest kingdoms and its ancient
fortress wall is still largely intact. Despite the popularity of
this city, it retains the laid-back charm of a small town. A weekend
here will carry you through the following week in frenetic Bangkok
with ease!
