Freyan Castillo
Santiago di Compostela, Spagna
As one of Thailand’s most culturally important cities, Chiang Mai undoubtedly earns its reputation as the “Rose of the North”! Today, the former capital sprawls far beyond the kilometer-square old town, but the heart of the city is still enclosed in these four walls. A sprawling modern city has grown up around ancient Chiang Mai (?????????), ringed by a tangle of superhighways. Despite this, the historic centre of Chiang Mai still feels overwhelmingly residential, more like a sleepy country town than a bustling capital. If you drive in a straight line in any direction, you'll soon find yourself in the lush green countryside and pristine rainforests dotted with churning waterfalls, serene wát and peaceful country villages – as well as a host of markets and elephant sanctuaries.
