Singapore-Taiwan- Chiang Mai Trip

About the destination: Chiang Mai is the central hub of Northern Thailand and serves as the Capital City of the province bearing the same name. The city is home to over 170,000 residents, making it the fifth-largest city in Thailand. Situated on a plain 316 meters above sea level, Chiang Mai is surrounded by mountains and verdant countryside, offering a greener and quieter environment than the capital. The city has a cosmopolitan vibe and a substantial expat community, which have enticed many people from Bangkok to permanently settle in this "Rose of the North". The historical heart of Chiang Mai is the walled city. Portions of the wall still stand at the gates and corners, but only the moat remains of the rest. Within the remaining city walls, there are over 30 temples that date back to the establishment of the principality. These temples exhibit a mix of Burmese, Sri Lankan, and Lanna Thai architectural styles, adorned with exquisite wood carvings, Naga staircases, lion-like and angelic protectors, gilded umbrellas, and pagodas embellished with gold filigree. The most renowned of these is Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, which offers a panoramic view of the city from a mountainside 13 km away. In recent times, Chiang Mai has grown in all directions, but especially towards the east, in the direction of the Ping River, or Mae Nam Ping. This is where you'll find Chang Klan Rd, the famous Night Bazaar, and the majority of Chiang Mai's hotels and guest houses. Loi Kroh Rd is the epicenter of the city's nightlife.
