Amidst the rolling foot hills of the Himalayan Mountains some 800 kilometers north of Bangkok is the culturally rich city of Chiangmai, the longest continuously lived in settlement from the ancient days of Siam. Founded in 1296 AD it was isolated from Bangkok and could only be reached by an arduous river journey or an elephant back trip until the 1920's. Such isolation has helped keep Chiangmai's distinctive charm intact up to the present day.

During your stay in Chiangmai you will see these talented crafts persons at work and be able to purchase their finely handcrafted products at unbelievably low prices direct from the factories. No evening is complete without shopping at the famous Chiangmai night bazaar for incredible bargains for everything from clothes to jewelry. |
| Inside Chiangmai's remaining city wall are more then 30 temples dating back to the founding of the principality in 1296. Doi Suthep temple which is on the mountaintop at 3500 feet above and overlooking the city is a shrine to both Thai and foreign visitors. These Temples are a combination of Burmese, Sri Lankan, and Lanna Thai styles decorated with beautiful wood carvings, Naga staircases, leonine and angelic guardians, gilded umbrellas and pagodas laced with gold filigree. |  |
