Chaing Mai Guesthouses &
Chaing Mai Cheap Hotels Hostels
Chaing Mai is one of the most beautiful cities in Thailand Chaing Mai's major claim to fame is that it is a walled city and the walls and the moat are what still define the inner core of the city, there are only a few gates that lead in and out.
Chaing Mai also has a large night market where you can get all sorts of handicrafts that they make in the area and in the surrounding ethnic mountain villages. Taking a ride into the areas surrounding Chaing Mai will bring you into the true Thailand countryside and you can see live as it has been for a long time now. if you are into motorcycles I would rent one and go for a motorcycle tour as far as you can into the mountains you will be rewarded with some breathtaking scenery.
