Welcome to Chiang Mai Travel Tips. This website is created to provide tourists and visitors with useful as well as essential information to prepare for a trip to Chiang Mai, the main city of northern Thailand. Long regarded as the cultural capital of Thailand, Chiang Mai is a major travel destinations. It is the place to go to escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Being a provincial city, Chiang Mai is an extremely affordable place to visit by Western standard. There is so much to see and do here. Through Chiang Mai Travel Tips, I want to help you get to know Chiang Mai better, hopefully be able to explore its sights on your own. At the same time I will share with you a little bit about Chiang Mai, about its history, handicrafts, culture, dances, food, and provide you with practical tips on where to stay, how to move about, and so on.

I created Chiang Mai Travel Tips to assemble all the useful tips about Chiang Mai that I have accumulated over many years. Below please find a list of topics I intend to cover. I must apologise that website is very much a work in progress. It takes a lot of time and effort to research and document every detail of Chiang Mai, even to upload them to the web, and I sincerely hope that you will be patient with me, as I get these pages completed. Do check back regularly for new updates. You can also subscribe to my Chiang Mai RSS Feed or join my Yahoo Forum, where you can also interact with fellow travel enthusiasts.
