Experience the merging of the past into the present in Chiang Mai where locals are proud of the city's 700-year history. Its rich traditional heritage and unique culture is a perfect foundation for the development of the city. Chiang Mai is one of the few places in Thailand  where it is possible to find in the heart of the city centuries-old chedis and  temples next to modern convenience stores and boutique hotels. The original city layout still exists as a neat square surrounded by a moat with vestiges of the fortified wall and its four main gates offering prime access to the old town.
           
           For years, tourists have mistaken Chiang Mai as the northern junction and the base from  which they can  explore other provinces. The phrase a day in Chiang Mai is enough to see things around was common. Today, tourists are surprised by the fact that there is always  something new to discover Chiang Mai. Intriguing diversity   among ethnic tribes coupled with  breathtaking scenery makes Chiang Mai one of Asia's most attractive tourist destinations. Two weeks in Chiang Mai may not be long enough for serious travelers.

In addition, the presence of hill tribes and their wealth of unique cultures enhance  Chiang Mai's  distinctive diversity.
