Thailand - Chiang Mai

The Land of Smiles - Part 2. We have visited Thailand several times over the years, but this was our first trip to Chiang Mai in the far North West of the country. Founded in the late 13th Century as the capital of the Lan Na Kingdom, this walled and moated city has many beautiful, ancient Buddhist temples. We spent several relaxing days exploring some of the wonderful temples, but still had many more to see. The old city is included on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Status.
