Chiang-mai Protected by the moats, the old city is filled with monuments that mark the course of change in the city's seven hundred year history. Generations have trod the narrow lanes that link the quiet neighborhoods to the temples and the markets. Chiang Mai has over 300 temples making it an impressive place to be. Along the main streets, trade has been the lifeblood of the city; but it is the spiritual and artistic striving focused at the temples that has given beat to city's enduring heart (see temples). In the distance you can see Wat Doi Suthep giving a nice setting for the now second biggest city of Thailand. |
