Chiang Mai, in Thailand’s highlands, is an ancient city with over 300 exquisite temples, it’s culturally rich, vibrant, and offers a wide variety of things to do. In the hills beyond the city, the colorful Lanna culture, unique to Chiang Mai and its surroundings, is seen in every aspect of life, from language to landscape to food.
