Parhaat nähtävyydet Chiang Maissa

Chiang Mai Unmissables

Chiang Mai’s historic center is defined by its 13th-century city walls and moats, marked by the Thapae Gate. The city showcases Lanna architecture through sites like the 14th-century Wat Chedi Luang ruins and Wat Phra Singh. The oldest temple, Wat Chiang Man, dates back to 1297. Beyond religious sites, the Night Bazaar and Warorot Market offer local handicrafts and spices. Unique social initiatives include vocational massage training at the Women’s Correctional Institution, while Suan Buak Haad provides the old town's primary green space.
