Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is best known within Thailand for Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a Buddhist temple on Doi Suthep. The city grew as the capital of the Lanna kingdom, and its historic core still follows the outline of its moat and surviving brick walls. Temples such as Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh give the old quarter a distinctly northern Thai character. The Ping River runs along the eastern side of the city, while forested slopes rise westward toward Doi Suthep–Pui National Park. Chiang Mai is also closely associated with Yi Peng, when lantern ceremonies accompany the full-moon festival period.
