Chiang Mai is filled with sights and charms found only here in the picturesque northern region of Thailand. It's the oldest continuously inhabited city in Thailand. The city has great antiquity in many buildings as well as the carefully preserved moat constructed by King Mengrai over 700 years ago. Within the old city are numerous Buddhist temples and other monuments representing the distinct history of the city. Chiang Mai residents are fortunate to live in a region with such strong cultural traditions. The majority have a close relationship with temples, handicrafts, cuisine and are dedicated to protecting our heritage.

Today, Chiang Mai is a center for health, spas, and well-being. An excellent range of accommodations offers visitors with something to suit all tastes and budgets. Sports enthusiasts rave about the ten golf courses. Famed bazaars host a multitude of shops affording the shopper an unsurpassed choice of local crafts and brand name items. The natural attractions in Chiang Mai draw visitors to -- zipwire adventure, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, elephant riding, go karting and other activities.

We are truly blessed in Chiang Mai from the waters of rivers and reservoirs at sunrise, to the rolling mountains of the north, to the ricefields at sunset--northern Thailand is a beautiful place to live and work. The attraction of Chiang Mai continues to be the charming people, revered customs and natural sights we cherish that continue to be observed.
