. It is the capital of Chiang Mai Province, a former capital of the Kingdom of Lanna (1296–1768) and was the tributary Kingdom of Chiang Mai from 1774 until 1939. It is located 700 km (435 mi) north of Bangkok, among the highest mountains in the country. The city is on the Ping River, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River. Chiang Mai means "new city" and was so-named because it was the new capital, founded in 1296, succeeding Chiang Rai (founded 1262) in the capital of the Lanna kingdom.

Hire a guide, believe it or not they will save you money in the long run. Since this is a very touristy place, prices will often be more if you travel alone as opposed to with a guide. Make sure you tip them at the end of the day if they do a good job. It's worth it, trust me!

I used to have a girlfriend there many many years ago (2001-03). Most tips I have are for tourists, it's pretty easy to get taken $$ wise if you haven't been there before.
