Chiang Mai Province Essentials
Chiang Mai Province Essentials showcases the region's deep historical roots and natural grandeur. The collection features ancient Lanna-style temples such as the 13th-century Wat Chiang Man and the massive 15th-century ruins of Wat Chedi Luang. Beyond the old city's Thapae Gate, visitors can explore the bustling stalls of Warorot Market or ascend the granite peaks of Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest point.
