INTRODUCTION
Chiang Mai is located north of Bangkok in some of the highest mountains in the country. Over the years Chiang Mai has become increasingly modernized. This city is home to many traditional festivals in Thailand. Chiang Mai's night market is a popular place to pick up traditional arts and crafts. While there, you can also take cooking classes and learn about Chiang Mai's rich culinary tradition. The city is also a good base to explore the nearby jungle where you can take an elephant ride. Farther north, you can visit the Hill Tribes along the Burmese border. Be careful, though, because there is sometimes fighting along the Burmese border. Check with officials before venturing farther north.
