Thailand
A 5-day trip to Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is Thailand's slow north — temples, mountains, and khao soi in a moated old city.
Chiang Mai is Thailand's cultural north — a moated old city of temples, mountain villages, and the best khao soi in the country. It's slower, cheaper, and cooler than Bangkok; stay a week, take a cooking class, and do a mountain trek. The digital-nomad capital of Southeast Asia.
