Chiang Mai is a city rich in history with a distinct beauty and heritage of its own. Blending Burmese, Laotian and Indian culture, the Lanna culture is unique. In addition to special dishes found only in the North, the people of Chiang Mai have their own dialect, their own customs and their own Lanna architecture, immediately recognizable on the ancient temples that can be seen everywhere in the city.
