Travel Guide, Chiang Mai
In the north of Thailand, in the midst of some of the highest mountains in the country, Chiang Mai lies at about 700 km from the capital Bangkok. Although Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand, but does not feel like a big city at all.
Some of the city’s sights include the Night Market and about 300 Buddhist temples such as the famous Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
