Chiangmai is known as "the Rose of the North" and Thailand's second largest city after Bangkok. Well known for its vibrant markets, ancient temples such as Doi Suthep and numerous chedi scattered throughout the old part of the city make Chiang Mai one of Thailand's most popular destinations for both Thai and foreign visitors. Calmer and quieter than Bangkok, Chiang Mai offers not only temples but gourmet food, hot springs, fresh air and a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
