Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai tours & activities, fun things to do in Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai. | VELTRA

Chiang Mai is right at the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in Northern Thailand. Nicknamed the Rose of the North, this old city is much calmer than the more urban Bangkok, and the ancient temples and cooler climate make this a popular destination for travelers. Check out Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep Temple and Wat Chedi Luang, or head for the hills on bike tours around the countryside and tribal villages.
