In Northern Thailand, there are several small towns and villages that people can opt to visit, although the biggest and most popular destination in the North of Thailand is the ancient city of Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai straddles the Ping river and is the largest and most culturally rich city in northern Thailand. Although its name in Thai means “New City”, it was founded in 1296, but was called that since it took over from the previous capital Chiang Rai. The city was founded by King Mengrai and is the unofficial capital of northern Thailand. In terms of economic and cultural importance, it is second only to Bangkok.
