Luxury Holidays in Chiang Mai

Serene cultural city destination in Northern Thailand

The gateway to Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is the country’s fifth-largest city – a serene cosmopolis surrounded by stunning scenery, lush countryside and dramatic Himalayan Mountains. Relatively isolated until the 1920s, Chiang Mai retains an individual charm within its old city walls.

Peppered with ornate temples featuring beautiful woodcarvings, the city boasts many cultural gems. Visiting the elegant and excellent Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre is a great way to learn about this region, as is the Hilltribe Research Institute Museum. North of Chiang Mai are the Elephant Nature Park and Maesa Elephant Camp.

Chiang Mai’s Flower Festival and Orchid Fair see the streets abundant with blooms while the city is also renowned for its many cooking schools.
