Chiang Mai
Snuggled into the foothills of northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a sanctuary of sorts,
with a refreshing combination of city accoutrements and country sensibilities. It is a
city of artisans and craftspeople, of university professors and students, of idealists
and culture hounds - creating a disposition that is laid-back, creative and reverential.
The city is lauded for its enduring northern Thai (also known as Lanna) characterist-
ics, for the quaint walled quarter filled with temples, and its guardian temple-crowned
mountain endowed with mystical attributes.
