The ancient capital of the Lanna kingdom, Chiang Mai, affectionately referred to as the Rose of the North, is steeped in tradition and natural beauty.

It is no wonder why travelers from across the globe come to touch the ambiance of this remarkable region.

Travel on public holidays and weekends, particularly to popular destinations, should be booked well in advance for all modes of transport. This is especially true during the Songkran and New Year holiday period.
