CENTARA HOTELS IN
清迈, 泰国

Although it has expanded rapidly, the ‘Rose of the North’ still preserves the essence of an ancient village, slower paced and easy-going. Chiang Mai Old City teems with trendy cafés, art galleries, some of Thailand’s most impressive and most revered temples, and shops offering handicrafts galore.

In a city where handicrafts reign supreme, it is no surprise to find markets and shopping opportunities in abundance. Chiang Mai is also popular for landlubbers – think scenic hikes through the Doi Inthanon National Park and Chiang Dao rolling hills, elephant sanctuaries, and white-water rafting.
