You have probably heard about Bangkok or the paradisiacal Thai beaches already. However, the mountainous area of the country may be something fresh and new. Smaller and more peaceful than the capital of Thailand, Chiang Mai might be the change of air you’re looking for on your next vacation. It’s not an anonymous town, but its ancient temples usually take all the credits. The golden Buddhist temple Wat Phra That Doi Kham and Wat Umong are always crowded with tourists. Chiang Mai has an energy that captivates every traveler, encouraging them to come back or extend the trip as much as possible. Do you feel inspired? Check out our list of the 10 best private pool villas in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
