In Chiang Mai, the past is not merely the stuff of stories and musty old history books – it is a very real part of everyday life. The city is defined by a 6000-year-old moat, sits in the shadow of a monastery built in the 14th century and is dotted with historic wats (temples)
Every corner you turn into, history unfolds, through the hand-carved wooden door panels, chipped paint on a mural, creaking sound of the floor, resonance an ancient bell. Explore the charming lanes of the Old City and go behind the façade of modernity to experience the true wonders of this ancient Lanna capital.
