CHIANG MAI
King Mengrai founded the city of Chiang Mai
(meaning "new city") in 1296. Chiang Mai is
700 km ( 435 miles) north of Bangkok. The
city is the largest and most culturally significant
city in northern Thailand. The original city was
contained within walls with a moat surrounding
it. The moat and some of the walls and ancient
gates are still visible today. This feature adds
an air of uniqueness unknown to any other
major city in Asia. The city sits in a broad
valley amongst the highest mountains in
Thailand, which are the eastern edge of the
Himalayan Mountains that span Asia.
These mountains and the monsoons that pass
through the area from June to September keep
the area a lush green similar to the Pacific
Northwest in the United States.

For those that are not on the golf adventure, Chiang Mai is a paradise
undiscovered by most visitors to Asia. Chiang Mai has over 300
Buddhist temples (called "wat" in Thai). These include Wat Phrathat Koi
Suthep dating from 1383 making it the most famous temple in the area.

many more activities awaiting you. Click on the Chiang Mai Flex
