Once known as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, it is nowadays the most popular tourist destination in northern Thailand. It is a land of rolling mountains and colorful hill tribes, a gateway for adventure travel and a center of art and crafts. Despite being a tourist destination, it exudes a calm and laid-back atmosphere. It has a vast variety of things to see and things to do from hill tribe culture and hiking to classic northern Thai temples and wonderful local cuisine.
