Chiang Mai is THE place to visit in Thailand. Spend days, and even weeks, here and you will never run out of interesting and fun things to do.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Chiang Mai is a lovely city. It is quiet and ideal for a relaxing trip. In Chiang Mai it's more authentic Thai experience than Bangkok. There are nice coffee shops and little shops around. Modern malls are within few minutes drive.

4/5 - Good

SFChris

Chiang Mai is one of my favorite cities in the world. It's walkable, great cafe culture, in the winter the weather is perfect and is big enough to be international and cosmopolitan while still having amazing rural forests minutes away.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

My fourteen year old daughter and I stayed three days, but wish we had at least a week. There is so much to inside and outside of the city. If you can it's nice to have a private guide.
