Chiang Mai Holidays


asia
Chiang Mai is an atmospheric and colourful city set in the picturesque foothills of the north and is a great addition to any Thailand holiday.

Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second largest city and is considered its cultural heart with over 300 sacred shrines, pagodas and golden temples as well as the historic walled city where you could spend hours wandering the charming streets.

A holiday to Chiang Mai wouldn’t be complete without immersing yourself in the local cuisine. Dine at incredible restaurants, explore vibrant street food markets and try your hand in a traditional cooking class. Chiang Mai is also home to elephant sanctuaries, nearby local villages to explore and the famous hilltop temple of Wat Prathat Doi Suthep.
