Close to the mountains of the north and the infamous Golden
Triangle, luxury Chiang Mai holidays in the northernmost province
of Thailand are ethnically quite diverse, with Thais, indigenous
hill tribes, ancient Aboriginal people such as Lawa, Chinese and
Mon all residing happily together. Peaceful and much quieter than
other cities, Chiang Mai is easy to discover by foot, with its
spectacular scenery, northern village culture, ancient settlement
ruins, temples, museums and the opportunity for boat trips along
the Mekong River. This is the time for laid back rural adventure
and sightseeing.One of the main reasons to visit the region is to
trek to the villages that are home to local hill tribes.
