ChiangMai, Thailand

ChiangMai is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand, and Chiangmai is also the capital of Chiang Mai Province. It is located some 700 km (435 mi) north of Bangkok, among some of the highest mountains in the country. The Chiangmai city stands on the Ping river, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya river.

Chiangmai is considered one of the most scenic provinces in the country due to its mountain ranges, valleys, flora and fauna. Unlike most of Thailand, the climate in the north and especially Chiang Mai is cool, fresh and misty.


History of Chiangmai.

The city of Chiang Mai was capital of the Lanna kingdom after its founding in 1296. During the same period of time as the establishment of the Sukhothai Kingdom. From then, Chiang Mai not only became the capital and cultural core of the Lanna Kingdom, it was also the centre of Buddhism in northern Thailand and King Meng Rai built innumerable temples in Chiangmai.

In 1599 the kingdom of Chiangmai lost its independence and became part of the Ayutthaya kingdom. This ending the dynasty founded by King Meng Rai which had lasted for 300 years. The occupiers Burma, had a powerful Burmese influence on the architecture which can still be seen today. It was only in the late 18th century that Burma was finally defeated with the leadership of King Taksin.
In 1932 the province Chiang Mai became the second level subdivision of Thailand when the administrative unit of Monthon Phayap, the remains of the Lanna kingdom, was dissolved.

Lamai Beach : Koh Samui, Thailand

Lamai Beach is located in south of Chaweng beach. The beach isn't long, the off-white sand isn't as fine and not much restaurants and bars same with the range of quality from Chaweng. That's why the cheaper guesthouses and resorts can be found at this area. The beach has three distinct areas, the north is quieter with less development but good for relaxation. The center and southern have more development and both areas have a lot of activities.

The good attraction place at Lamai beach is Hin-Ta Hin-Yai, Grand mother Grand father rocks. Which is the unique shape of rocks on the beach. This place are well known and don't be miss from the Samui Tour's plan
Overall if you're prefer to stay on beach without spending more money, Lamai beach can be a choice.
