Chiang Mai is located 700 km (435 miles) from the north of Bangkok and outlooks a lush valley running through the banks of the Ping River. It was in the year 1296 that Chiang Mai was founded and named as the capital of the ruling Lanna Kingdom. At present, it is an example of that city where the past and present seamlessly merges into a wonderful city with modern buildings, heritage and green landscape. You might feel that Chiang Mai is a quiet city amidst the bustling capital but still be surprised by its rich tourism. The city of Chiang Mai is flecked by virgin rainforests and gurgling waterfalls along with peaceful, little villages. Chiang Mai, Thailand is also famous for its markets and distinguished elephant sanctuaries.

Chiang Mai etymologically refers to “new city”, and has been doing justice to its name since 1996. History has it that King Meng Rai founded the city as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom during this year. It was also that time when the Sukhothai Kingdom was established. As King Meng Rai himself was a religious person by nature, he supervised the construction of the city’s famous temples that still find a place here. One can experience the wonders of two worlds simultaneously in Chiang Mai - the historical and the modern. You will find pagodas and temples which are centuries-old. Chiang Mai also offers some of the best adventure activities such as trekking and rafting. You can also locate some modern convenience stores and custom-made hotels. The people of Chiang Mai are true to their culture and thus one can find a number of elephant camps around the place. Chiang Mai remains one of the most beautiful destinations in Asia.

Praveshundercover's 8 days trip to Chiang Mai

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Thailand, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Nikith Travel Guide! Here are some highlights: Stunning Beaches: The pristine beaches of Phuket and Krabi were breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and soft, white sand made for perfect relaxation and fun water activities. Friendly Locals: The Thai people were incredibly warm and welcoming. Their hospitality made the trip even more enjoyable. Adventure Activities: From snorkeling in the Phi Phi Islands and beaches of krabi , there was no shortage of adventure. Each activity was thrilling and well-organized. Bankok Safari and the marine life and other temples of Bangkok were amazing places to explore , explicitly the shows (Dolphine, Elephant, orangutan) in the Safari world were amazing . Tiger parks in Phuket an amazing place to get close with the tigers Food : as expected Vegetain food availability is limited. Nikith Travel Guide made the trip seamless and enjoyable. Their expert guides provided insightful information and ensured we had the best experiences. Their attention to detail and personalized service truly enhanced our trip.

Karthik's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

Recently visited Thailand through the Holidays Paradise Tours and Travel agency. Special mention to Mr. Lucky for making our trip memorable and hassle free. He ensured that the itinerary was customised as per our requirements. The rate was reasonable including the flights. Upon reaching Thailand, the trip was organised in a very professional manner. Everyday a reminder and the plan was shared through the whatsapp group. The ground team in Thailand was very responsive at any time of the day. Would love to recommend this agency for a hassle free and memorable trips.

Mahesh's 4 days trip to Chiang Mai

I had visited Thailand in the month of September 2024 for which I had approached travel triangle. I was approached by three tour operators through travel triangle. Got the best deal from Happy Vacation. They made all the travel arrangements perfectly. Right from my pick up at Krabi Airport till the last destination. All the cabs provided were neat and clean. Drivers were also well behaved and polite. I got quick response everytime from the tour operators whenever needed. They took care of all the prior ticket arrangements and transportation. Overall a good experience.
