Car Hire &  Mini Guide for Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai literally means “the new city”, even though it celebrated its 700th anniversary in 1996!

Visiting Chiang Mai is a captivating experience that immerses travelers in the rich history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty of northern Thailand. Nestled in the mountainous region, Chiang Mai is known for its ancient temples, lush landscapes, and warm hospitality. The city's old town, encircled by ancient walls and moats, is a treasure trove of temples, with Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang being among the most renowned. Exploring the vibrant night markets, such as the famous Sunday Walking Street, is a must-do, where visitors can browse through a plethora of local handicrafts, indulge in delectable street food, and soak in the lively atmosphere. Nature enthusiasts can venture outside the city to discover stunning waterfalls, serene national parks, and hill tribe villages, offering a glimpse into the region's diverse ethnic cultures. Chiang Mai is also a hub for wellness retreats and traditional Thai massage, providing opportunities for rejuvenation and relaxation. With its charming blend of history, culture, and natural wonders, a visit to Chiang Mai promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of Thailand.
