Thailand's Cultural Heartland

Chiang Mai

About The Region

Chiang Mai at a Glance

Set among the mountains of northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is the natural counterpoint to a beach-based itinerary — old-city temples, hill tribe villages, ethical elephant sanctuaries and a noticeably cooler climate. A strong add-on for travellers who want more than islands and coastline.

It's also where Thailand's glamping scene is strongest, with countryside camps offering an authentic, back-to-nature stay close to the elephants and hills.
