Chiang Mai is distinct for cuisine, the manner of speaking and medieval architecture, derived in many ways from its strategic location historically and once foreign occupation. Located amongst dense forested mountains, this relatively cooler area is home to Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon. Given nature’s abundance, there is a lot to do in the outdoors. Chiang Rai, a 3-hour drive away is more pastoral and suited to travellers who seek peace and quiet including tranquil boat rides on the Mae Kok river.

The shopping is unique – with a long tradition of handicrafts and art – handmade parasols, woodcarvings, silverware and “teak furniture” at incredible prices.

The region’s distinctness and better climate is a big draw for tourists and accordingly, several options of hotels including high-end boutique resorts are now available in Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai, along with restaurants, bars and the relatively unrestricted if “not in the face” nightlife.

Golf in Chiang Mai & Golf in Chiang Rai comes with a difference too. The cooler climes of the hilly region, the vistas on offer and the terrain, which lends automatically to great golf course layout and design afford a top quality experience in several golf courses that have come up here.
