The historic Tha Phae Gate and amazing Buddist temples are also only a few minutes walk away. If Golf happens to be your passion there is an abundance of
great courses within easy reach by Tuk-Tuk. With us you can enjoy the comfort & luxury of a quality furnished & very spacious 40sq metre apartment, with modern bathrooms facilities. Included are free wifi, sofa/bed, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities & flat screen TV with cable showing latest films & programs. All our rooms cater for between 2-4 guests comfortably. After a hectic day on one of the numerous tours or adventure activities around the city, relax, read or just chill on our first floor gallery or just grab a bite from our delicious varied menu in the lounge. Thailand's northern capital is an escape from the whirlwind pace of life of its southern rival. The former seat of the Lanna kingdom is still blissfully calm and laid-back. This is a place to relax and recharge your batteries with fabulous food and leisurely wandering. If you don't want to participate in the vast array of activities on offer, just stroll around the backstreets, and discover a city that is still firmly Thai in its aspect, atmosphere, and attitude. Nestled amongst forested foothills, Chiang Mai is much older than it first appears. During the city's medieval heyday, almost everything was made of teak hauled by elephant from the surrounding rainforest, with the notable exception of its towering wát. The monasteries still remain, centred on ancient brick chedi (stupas) in a remarkable range of shapes and styles, but the gaps between them have been filled in with modern Thai houses and traveller hotels. Despite this, the historic centre of Chiang Mai still feels overwhelmingly residential. A sprawling modern city has grown up around ancient Chiang Mai, ringed by a tangle of superhighways, but if you drive in a straight line in any direction, you'll soon find yourself in the lush green countryside of northern Thailand. A short ride by motorcycle or chartered rót daang ('red truck') will deliver you to pristine rainforest reserves, churning waterfalls, serene forest wát, bubbling hot springs and peaceful country villages – as well as a host of adventure camps, elephant sanctuaries and souvenir markets.
