Chiang Mai is the capital of the north of Thailand, and it offers travelers cosmopolitan city life and rustic
charms in equal doses. It serves as a last stop before embarking on jungle treks or excursions to hill-tribe
villages, but it’s just as likely a place to find travelers pampering themselves at a spa, enrolling in cooking
classes or shopping for handicrafts.
