With lush rainforests and preserved cultural heritage, Chiang Mai should be on every traveler’s bucket list. It is the biggest city in Northern Thailand and attracts millions of visitors annually. Unlike bustling Bangkok, Chiang Mai is a more laid-back city without smog and heavy traffic. For a spiritual experience, a visit to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep would be a great idea. If you love spending time in nature, you can relax in the open-air spas of San Kamphaeng. For gastronomers, Nimmanhaemin Road is the perfect place to try out street food and famous local dishes, such as gaeng hang lay.
Since the city has so much to offer, planning a lengthy stay here is an ideal thing to do. Read on to learn about the best long-term rentals in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
