The city is reportedly sinking at a rate of 5cm (2in) every year, but there's too much sànùk (a Thai sense of fun) going on for that to get anyone down.
Chiang Mai Old-fashioned Thai-style hospitality in a thriving metropolis.Chiang Mai has a striking mountain backdrop, over 300 temples and a quaint historical aura. It's also a modern, friendly, internationally-flavoured city with much to offer the visitor - food, accommodation and shopping ares are all top quality and cheap, and the nights are relatively cool.
Phuket Pearl of the South in the Land of Smiles.
