Things to do in Chiang Mai, Thailand:

Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand is the largest province in the country. At 300 meters high, it has considerably cooler weather, especially when compared to the capital, Bangkok.

The province is rich in man-made and natural wonders that draw tourists and digital nomads to stay and explore the area. Some of the key sights in Chiang Mai include Wat Phra That Doi Kham, a 17-meter-high Buddha that dates back to the seventh century, glistening atop a 500-meter hill; Royal Park Ratchaphruek, 80 hectares of gardens with a profusion of trees and flowers; Pha Chor Canyon within the Mae Wang National Park; and a plethora of museums, restaurants, and villages that give the province a spirit unique to the area.
