About Chiang Mai Attractions

Chiang Mai used to be the province of the Lanna kingdom. In the present time, it is a blissful and laid-back city ideally chosen by travelers to relax and recharge. You can either take part in a host of activities performed here to simply discover the vastness of the city. The atmosphere and ambience of the city will never disappoint you.

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. For a traveler, Chiang Mai simply has a host of experiences to offer. For a resident here, Chiang Mai is the home one returns to!

Chiang Mai is bordered by Myanmar in its north. The Shan state of Myanmar is actually the border state of Chiang Mai in Thailand. The interesting thing is cross-border trade takes place here between the Kew Pha Wok checkpoint and the Ban Lak Taeng checkpoint. These places are also major tourist sites. On its South, Chiang Mai is engulfed by Amphoe Sam Ngao, Amphoe Tha Song Yang of Tak Province and Amphoe Mae Ramad. Some of the major attractions here are - Sam Ngao Cliff, Bhumibol Dam, Mae Kasa Waterfall, and Thee Mo Bo Waterfall. On its east, lie the provinces of Amphoe Mae Suai, Amphoe Mae Fah Luang, Amphoe Mueang Chiang Rai and Amphoe Wiang Pa Pao of Chiang Rai. Chiang Mai borders its west with Amphoe Mueang Mae Hong Son, Amphoe Pai, Amphoe Mae La Noi, Amphoe Mae Sariang, Amphoe Khun Yuam, and Amphoe Sob Moei of Mae Hong Son Province.

    Hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast items mostly thai and chinese.single option for vegetarian apart from salads and fruits. Could be better. Cab service is good communication is challenge, little English trg would be better. Prefer daily detailed plan and work sheet be shared. Apart from your curr
    ent day plan. Cruise Dinner, floating market, ancient city tour and ofcourse all the temples and palace. It could be better a traditional thai massage at waht pho temple be given as part of std itinerary. We took time from driver to have relaxing experience.

    Heet's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

    This review offers a comprehensive account of my recent travel experience with Navigatio Asia Holidays. Should you require further verification of the authenticity of this review, please feel free to contact me via email at vaidyaheet09@gmail.com. I engaged Navigatio Asia Holidays to plan my 6-nigh
    t, 7-day trip to Phuket and Krabi. Initially hesitant due to my lack of prior experience with the agency, I ultimately decided to proceed based on intuition, a decision that proved to be judicious. Navigatio provided exceptional guidance in crafting my itinerary, offering tailored recommendations that took into account the needs of my 3-year-old child. Their suggestions surpassed my expectations, surpassing alternatives I had considered based on internet research. I am particularly grateful to Parul for her invaluable assistance in optimizing my travel plans. A standout moment during my trip occurred upon arriving in Phuket from Krabi, where we encountered a significant challenge with our chosen hotel, included in our itinerary at our insistence. We were denied check-in due to purported payment issues with the travel agency. Promptly contacting Mr. Tarun, he swiftly intervened and resolved the situation, albeit at the cost of our evening plans. Mr. Tarun's proactive involvement and subsequent meticulous follow-up exemplify the exemplary service ethos of Navigatio Asia Holidays. Despite initial frustrations and misgivings, Mr. Tarun's comprehensive explanation and continuous support throughout the remainder of our trip alleviated any further concerns. Furthermore, Mr. Tarun provided compelling evidence demonstrating the hotel's unjustified actions, attributing them to opportunistic behavior during peak season. In a gesture of goodwill, Mr. Tarun extended our half-day tour to a full day, compensating for the inconvenience caused by the hotel incident. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Navigatio Asia Holidays for their meticulous trip planning and dedicated problem-solving approach, delivered with personalized care and attention. Without hesitation, I will choose Navigatio for my future travel endeavors.
