Chiang Mai
Enveloped on all sides by jungle, Thailand’s second largest city is a sprawling metropolis with an ancient heart of vibrant markets, bustling night bazaars and serene monasteries. Chiang Mai’s temples showcase classic Lanna architecture, while it is only a short drive to the Wat Sri Suphan, artfully adorned with elegant silverwork.

Though Chiang Mai now extends far beyond the ancient city walls, the markets of the old city offer a chance to experience a traditional way of life in Thailand. Hill tribes bring exquisitely crafted goods to the night bazaars, where the rich scents of street food and spices drift along tantalisingly on the warm night air, and local shoppers haggle with a jovial camaraderie.
