What Really is CHIANGMAI ?
The economic, cultural, and tourism hub of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is frequently referred to as the "Rose of the North." It is one among Thailand's more well-known and frequently visited provinces and is situated around 700 kilometres from Bangkok. The province has played a significant role in the development of the nation. It was once the capital of the Lanna Thai kingdom established by King Mengrai in 1296.
Chiang Mai is one of the most picturesque provinces in the country, with mountain ranges and hills surrounded by lush flora and jungle. It is located on the Mae Ping River and is about 310 metres above sea level. In the winter, the local climate can produce swirls of mist and fog, a rare sight in a tropical nation. The several national parks in the province are exceptionally fertile, feature an abundance of flora, and are home to a wide variety of fauna (the area is particularly associated with elephants). The province is renowned for being home to several tribes, and excursions to tribal settlements are a major part of the region's tourism industry. The area's top attractions include Doi Intanon, Thailand's tallest peak, and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.

Visitors must either take the cable car or climb more than 300 steep stairs to get to the temple.
